  Thats funny…I thought I made up this meal while I was in collage living with a room mate and poor. The difference is after all was cooked i made a huge omlet with the meal….Very tasty and doesn’t cost much. I don’t think you can get a sack of potatoes for a dollar anymore.

  Cool…but when we’re in the Upcoming Depression I still won’t like onions….I want the same poor man’s dish but without the onions please….should save some money…yes?

  Actually all them boys are supa hot! You got good genes Clara! Maybe the poor man’s meal alters your DNA to make you attractive. Kudos.

  I love you so much Clara. You’re so awesome! And your grandson is supa hot!

  I can’t believe the neighbor lady was stealing potatoes and vegetables from her garden, how rude is that?

  having never lived thru the depression and raised in relative comfort, i have always feltthe need to live “bare bones” so to speak.. these are the types of meals i make for my family.. as the price of my shopping trolly has doubled, but my husbands pay has remained the same, i have ((unintentionally)) began depression cooking in my own home..
  so thank u Clara for showing me lots of new ideas for cooking for my family

  I learned how to make a similar meal from my grandmother using bacon grease, and sausage cooked in a cast iron skillet. Great comfort food!

  Love Clara!! I’m a poor lowly grad student and she gave me some cheap new recipes that look delicious. The historical context in today’s setting really made the video magical!

  Not all of us are that way. We’re not a total loss.

  This video was brought to you by this generation

• 19. Chuprassi  |  June 19th, 2009 at 5:40 am

  That’s not irony–that’s coincidence.

  This is nothing like the Great Depression. Most people aren’t dropping out of school because they can’t afford socks. You’ll know it’s that bad when you start saving your twist ties in a can above the fridge, in case you could reuse them.

• 21. kevz2008  |  June 23rd, 2009 at 3:14 am

  it’s too bad this generation is so immoral, indifferent, and ungrateful to what the previous generations did for us.
  i wonder what clara thinks of this generation…lol

• 22. yacketycat  |  June 24th, 2009 at 7:11 pm

  What a treasure. I hope Clara lives forever. I wonder if our grandchildren will miss the “civility” of the YouTube generation… I certainly hope we’ll all come back around again!

  I love your channel, the recipes are so easy and quick! I could not believe it Thanks so much for all the cooking ideas Clara, my grandmother also like the recipes too good luck with the rest of your taping !

  The woman with the shopping bag must have had a lot of kids because the world is now filled with her type. We call them a-holes.
