    Sometimes the pictures don’t match the audio, I wonder if AI had a hand in this.

      That was interesting. It kind of reminds me of The Victorian Kitchen Garden from England. The narration was 'interesting', sounding a bit British in some pronunciations with odd phrasing at times. Jodi, I wondered the same thing about AI. I thought Youtube videos had to state if there is AI involvment, but I'm not sure about that and I didn't see any disclaimers.

      I remember picking dandelion greens in the pasture when I was a child. They'd be boiled and we'd have them with vinegar, S&P, and a bit of butter. My mother made Wacky Cake and I seem to recall Tomato Soup Cake as well, kind of like a light spice cake. I loved Chipped Beef on Toast and this reminds me I should look for chipped beef next time I'm shopping.

      One of my mother's goto recipe books was the local Grange cookbook. (We belonged. Actually the Granger movement and history is an interesting tale about the small farmer's fight against the railroad goliaths.)

      We had onion sandwiches but I wasn't terribly excited about them. They were usually made with onion & mustard. Nice for a change. One of my brothers would put mustard on his crepes! No thanks. If we didn't have any of our own maple syrup left, my mother would make a mock syrup with sugar water and maple flavoring. That was good but more often than not I'd have butter and brown sugar on my crepes. Yum! Crepes were a regular Sunday evening supper, especially in winter. (We had chickens for eggs and cows--when I was very young. When we switched to goats, we'd swap eggs for cow's milk with other locals.)

        @Bernard said in 25 church recipes from the Great Depression:

        We had onion sandwiches but I wasn't terribly excited about them. They were usually made with onion & mustard.

        Mr wtg's grandfather used to have onion sandwiches on rye bread. No mustard. Instead he'd cut a slab of lard and put it on the sandwich.

        I have a high tolerance for animal fats (or did in my younger youth) but I cannot imagine eating one of those sandwiches.

          I loved braunschweiger as a kid. Now I would not touch it...pure cholesterol bomb.

            @Mik - My mom made me an Oscar Mayer braunschweiger with butter on white bread every day to take to school for lunch.

            Mr wtg and I occasionally buy one of the liver sausage products at the Polish deli. Num!

              Loved Braunschweiger as a kid and love it now!

              Aldi sells a decent version and it’s very reasonably priced.

                It sounds like Braunschweiger is similar to liverwust? I love liverwurst.

                  Yup. And num.

                  We've purchased the same stuff that @Steve-Miller mentioned.

                    I miss braunschweiger. I used to mash it with mayo for even more fatty goodness.

                      Bernard, I'd like to hear more about the Granger movement. This is the first time I'm hearing about it. It sounds interesting.
