Great Depression Cooking - The Poorman's Meal - Higher Resolution

Clara's Poorman's Meal is one of my favorite dishes. It was the reason we began this channel. I could never remember just how Nana made it, and being a visual person, what better way to have the recipe than as a video.
This is a higher resolution version of Clara's Poorman's Meal video. It was shot in SD and now up-resed to HD. Not perfect, but a big improvement from the 2007 KZhead standard of 144p!
This was the very first meal we filmed for her show. We'll leave up the original and enjoy this one for improved clarity as well as a new ending message from Clara.
I recently rediscovered the original tape, dated April 10, 2007, just days away from its thirteenth anniversary. On June 2007 I posted it as the 4th video of our initial posts (saving the best for last, of course). At the time there were very few concept KZhead channels and it wasn't yet owned by Google.
As a filmmaker, I tried convincing TV studios that this was a great show idea. I was told that there wasn't really an appetite for a cooking show about the history of the Great Depression, hosted by an unknown 91 year old Grandmother.
I saw KZhead as a place I could make the show anyway and let people decide for themselves if they wanted to learn meals from the Depression and meet my amazing Grandmother. And you did decide. Thanks for watching and I'll try to continue to share Clara and her incredible cooking as best I can.

  • In this harsh economy, I just made the poor man's meal again for my family and they loved it! It's January 21, 2024 and all these years later, Clara is still in our hearts. My Nana was Maltese from Malta, which is very similar to the Sicilian culture. She was born in 1913 and was so much like Clara. She passed away in 2006 at 93. The stories and life lessons I got to learn from her, and I feel so blessed to have been taught the old ways, especially with cooking. Clara's videos mean so much to me. It's like visiting with my own Nana, and what a treasure she is! Thank you to Clara's grandson for sharing your grandmother with us. You have no idea how much it means!

  • My father was born two months after the Stock Market crashed in 1929. He was the youngest of 11 children in a family that was already poor before the Depression hit in Minnesota. When his mother put whatever food they could afford on the table the family hit it like wolves, and he got the scraps being the smallest. He was a skinny kid, obviously. He eventually grew into a man 6'3", a Korean War combat veteran, and he ATE once he could afford it. He was a big man, but not obese. I remember that he would eat ANYTHING put in front of him with gusto, and he said beggars couldn't be choosers. He would eat pickled pig's feet, tripe, liver, you name it. Tough man made by tough times. I miss him with all my heart.

  • My mother told me the story of how one Thanksgiving during the Great Depression, her family had only one solitary potato to cook and eat. It was supposed to be able to feed her mother, her brother, her sister, and herself. (Her father had passed away before this.) Her Uncle Jimmy surprised everyone by showing up with some fish he had caught in the river. My Grandmother's eyes were full of tears, and the family ended up having fish for Thanksgiving. It's stories like that one, which make me appreciate whatever little I might think at times that I have.

  • My grandparents lived through the Depression and the stories I heard. She would meet you at the door with hugs and kisses. The the very next thing out of her mouth was, “have you eaten, I got....”. I was about 40 and decided to ask why she always asked that. The answer floored me. “Well, we didn’t know if everybody had a meal that day and if they hadn’t, we made sure they had. “ This told me that they had did without a lot more than they ever mentioned. She quit school in the third grade to help the family survive. I learned more from her than the college I paid for. Dang, something dripped on my phone.

    • My parents lived through the depression also, most people have no idea what that generation endured. Back then you didn’t have (unless you were rich) “store bought” clothes. Flour was in pastel flowered 25 pound cloth sacks, my grandmother let the girls pick which sack to buy, because that sack became their next dress. They found a way to use everything, no such thing as waste. My Mom used to say “waste not, want not”.

Digital ID, digital currency, 15-minute smart cities, biometric facial scanners, QR codes needed to grocery shop, RFID chip implants and other under-the-skin surveillance methods, etc. It appears the 'crazy' conspiracy theorists were right about everything. Anything that hasn't yet come to pass will eventually be fulfilled. As they say, the difference between conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact is about six months. With enough time every conspiracy theory is fulfilled.

  • Barely a minute in and Clara says she had to quit school because they couldn't even afford socks. This made me think of my Grandma (who was the oldest of 9 siblings during the depression). When I was a kid, she got me a Walkman for Christmas, it was the "big" thing I'd been wanting so I was thrilled. In my joy, I asked my grandma what her favorite present was when she was little and she replied, "I remember the day I got a new pair of socks. I hid them in the back of the drawer so my sisters wouldn't wear them. They were my prize possession." A pair of socks. 1923-2015 Ollie Mae ❤️

  • I make a version of this that started out as making Clara's poor man's meal but there were days we didn't have hot dogs or fresh potatoes so things got improvised. We now make ours with 2 cups of reconstituted shredded hashbrowns (found real cheap at Sam's), an onion, and a can of spam diced up real good. You have to brown the spam though. It tastes meh if the spam isn't don't just right. So I usually fry the onions and spam together until brown and then add the reconstituted hasbrowns with more oil. If we have eggs, we might add two scrambled eggs for each person eating. Drizzle on some ketchup since opening a whole can of spaghetti sauce for a couple spoons just wasn't feasible. My kids absolutely love this meal. Our version came about sort of like nick names do. Before you know it you have something entirely of your own but you weren't planning it lol. I love Clara's version also.

Back in the depression there was no going to the store and just picking up snacks, whatever you desired to eat. Times were very hard and the people who survived were hard too. They had to be hard, to survive.

Yes, it does suck that people think they can't live without their phones or wifi, but today's generation has grown up with those things.

I could picture her neighbor telling her family she's going shopping, then wheeling a shopping cart next door into her neighbor's garden to collect some produce. Maybe she might also make her way into the barn and milk the cows for some milk. In all seriousness the nerve of some people. That's crazy!

  • My grandmother grew up in this era, she had to quit school at 13 and work in a factory to help support her family after her father passed. It was tough to listen to some of her stories but it built who she was and that's amazing. She made $17 a month and gave $15 to her mom for house bills and family needs. Hardworking and selfless does not even begin to describe this generation. I am thankful for my grandmother, miss Clara and anyone else who imparts the wisdom of their experience onto younger generations. Thank you!

  • Love her! I totally would protect my garden like she talks about! You work hard to get a good harvest! It’s not enough protecting from insects/disease, and wild animals/birds…but to have to protect from your neighbor is ridiculous!! No manners. I bet she would have been sweet as pie to the woman with the shopping bag had she asked for a vegetable or two rather than just ‘helping herself’☺️ It’s very soothing to hear her talk! Very nice video❤ Reminds me of my great grandma! I loved her life stories. She saw inventions of radio, tv, cars, airplanes, restaurants, movie theaters…you name it really. She road a wagon to take kids to school and church and occasionally to town. Work a farm, take care of ten kids. She saved money to buy a singer sewing machine using foot pedals. She gave it to me…not a scratch on it and it still works great. She was a great dress & quilt maker. I never heard her say a rude comment about anyone. She lived just fine with my grandpa until she was 97. Grand Parents are such good comfort for children growing up. I miss her❤ Thank you for this video❤ It’s so sad to learn of her passing back in 2013!! I hope her growing up during the depression that she was able to see the $$ her KZhead channel brought to her. She will be missed. Wish I had known when I first watched her. As the newest one was 10 months ago I hoped she was still with us. 😢❤
