Whenever they hear of a people's hardships, this group is especially kind in their comments. They know how hard life can be, and would not dare criticize someone's struggle meals.
I agree, they are showing a universal human spirit.
This one was super wholesome
âWe do such cruel things with potatoes foreigners canât even imagineâ
-hold my potato
I think the Irish would like them swap potato recipes
The translations in incorrect:
It should be something like: The torture we do to the pototo is worse than what Britishers (angrez) had done to Pakistanis as the colonisers.
Pakistan was part of British empire and there are some bad things has done towards the local population which he's comparing to the potato.
Pakistanis ( Indians as Britishers called them) were sent to different military missions, workers sent to far of lands as indentured labourers, labours have to work longer hours and jad to bonded labours - they just can't quit whatever they are doing, which is very close to slavery, artificial droughts and forced agriculture of opium, tabacco, cotton and indigo, etc etc
^ Not sure why he concluded that honestly. The translation is correct. Manzoor was basically saying that we cook potatoes however we can. They aren't spared no matter what. đ
@@ashish282 Nah Man, translation is fine. Manzoor didn't mean al this :)
@@ashish282 wow man you wrote a whole paragraphđ and still are incorrect the translation is correct that is exactly what manzoor ment to say
I have the letters my husband's grandmother wrote during the depression. She was in Montana as was her sister who was not as well off! Grandmother canned peaches and sent them by train for her sister, when the canned peaches arrived the jars had broken. Her sister in the letter laments the loss of those peaches. Also, my husband's father was delaying going to university to raise pigs to pay for his schooling. The pig market crashed and he did not make the money he needed.
he probably had eated those pigs after the market crushed lol
read my story above about my own mother who grew up in depression era eastern Montana..... cheers.
How much they stuggled. I think i am struggling the most
@@sanaqamar1
every time have its own problems ,, i hope you doing good
â€
@@Techie1224 yes now a days I am feeling ok. I have started praying. It has relaxed me alot otherwise i was going crazy before. I hope you are doing good too. God bless you
Yes, Mehboob. My parents were children during the depression, and we grew up hearing exactly that about appreciating what one had
We're in a depression of plenty right now, as we speak. We have everything but it is too expensive to live.
As someone who grew up poor a lot of these dishes I am familiar with. I love to try foods born of necessity as this is how lobster was eaten before the early 20th century.things the rich enjoy now were once poor people food here in the states.
Yup. Same thing with oysters. They used to be poor people food.
Now eating Oysters *makes* you poor. :)
Ah, so you understand Neiman Marcus selling frozen collard greens for over $60.
â@@The_Keeper Same with Caviar and Tuna
Some of the most iconic dishes in the world were born out of necessity, like coq au vin in France or polenta in Italy. Since the introduction of frozen and ready-made meals, people have gotten a strange sort of diet, though. Most people treat dandelions as a nuisance for example, but dandelion greens are one of the healthiest and most nutritionally dense foods you can eat.
@@johnr797 We eat a lot of polenta here in south eastern Europe and I can confirm that it is viewed as a regular person type of food, simple and tasty, inexpensive. When I was little, my grandmother used to pour milk into the pot we previously cooked polenta, and it was like a dessert for me. We didn't have the most expensive things, but she always tried to brighten my days and make the most of what we had. Some people put sugar on bread and butter, eat polenta with heavy cream and strawberries or plum jam, fry tomatoes along with with onions and tomato sauce and spices, this is eaten with bread or polenta. Everyone knows these snacks in my area and people make them when they cannot afford expensive things but want a delicious and quick meal or snack.
My parents were children during the Depression. They spoke of havinvg bread in coffee, sprinkled with a little sugar, and if it was special occasion the coffee would have a little milk in.
đReach out tođđ, tell him you have anxiety, depression, panic attack, ADHD or PTSD and wait for his recommendations heâs the bestâŠ
Mustafa said that was the "burnt part of the pot" đ€Łđ€Ł I love him so much!!†And I think he likes that Peanut Butter bread. He took two nibbles.
Two nibbles ! Ha!
He could identify that it had Maple sugar in it. I'm going to quit picking on the man for just trying little nibbles
@@LindaC616 Mama Mustafa is a wise man, don't pick on him. lol He's just wary of food that's mixed and you can't blame him, really.
My mother was born the last year of the Great Depression, my father was born a year earlier. My mother grew up in poverty, in the projects in San Francisco during WWII. Her father worked in the Navy Shipyards as a painter. I will never forget how my grandmother saved things like rubber bands, and was very frugal. My mother liked nice things as an adult, my father was a good provider. I had no idea how spoiled rotten I was until I moved out on my own at 17, a few years after my father died. The way these wise folks had nothing but kind things to say brought me to tears once again.
It's amazing how you realized what you did was wrong and regret it. I've seen many people who are spoiled and don't realise it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm spoiled as well. What I'm saying is at least you realized how spoiled you were most people don't Realize it
I love watching this. My Mothers parents who immigrated from Sicily to the USA as young children survived the great depression by eating food that is now considered gourmet to some. My grandpa also ran a hot dog stand to make extra money. Definitely was never told of any of the foods that were just tried.
If you haven't already, look at Depression Food. A delightful lady who lived through the era cooks dishes her family ate in NYC and talks about how life was. Wonderful.
I don't care if I can afford the finest of foods, I'll always love potato pancakes. My mother made them from leftover mashed potatoes, but I love the grated potato pancakes as well.
and homemade applesauce..... yum
@@monicahamm3353 Great with latkes!
Watching this video really tugs my heart strings. Food has gotten so expensive recently and Iâve just been complaining and complaining about how I canât afford what Iâm used to. Watching this video and hearing the peoples humble comments about the food has made me think from a new perspective. I am still so blessed to have access to the foods I can afford. đ
I wish you guys would bring Kastoori and Parvati back. I miss them â€ïž
Me too.....
And I!!!
"We would think of the kids first."
Sadly, many of the poorest families during the depression sold some of their children to feed the others or sold them all to wealthier homes so they would (hopefully) be better cared for. It brought shame upon them, but there wasn't much else they could do, as there was no work available for so, so many.
Many mothers went without meals so their kids could eat a few more mouthfuls; then along would come a flu or other "mild" sickness and they'd die.
thank you for this information, just scary times
Unfortunately the same thing is happening in Afghanistan today. They are marrying their underage daughters off to feed their younger kids with the dowery money. In a sense, the world hasn't changed much.
even before the depression of 1929-1939..... America had many other depressions....... My grandmother was born in 1898..... her father died and her mother got on a train in Minnesota going west with her 8-9 children..... and stopped at every station along the way and placed her children with farm families....... until she got to eastern Montana with her one infant left. She got a job at the local boardinghouse cleaning the floors and bathrooms where she raised my grandmother.
My grandmother along with her younger sister were placed in an orphanage during the Depression. Although she had two living parents, the family could not afford to raise them.
They should try "pouding chĂŽmeur" (unemployment pudding), which is a traditional French Canadian dessert made with ingredients that used to be cheap. Today the price of ingredients has gone up, though. Brown sugar, maple syrup and eggs are not cheap anymore.
Sounds delicious! Would love to see that! Yeah, itâs crazy how absolutely everything has gone up in price. Iâve been quite reliant on pulses and grains and can rarely afford meat. Fine by me because I still have food in my belly, and there are so many people struggling much more right now. Itâs also sort of a way to connect with the people of a different era. Crazy times! Bless,
I know, right? They used to give chicken wings away! Every time you make something good out of something cheap...
my favourite dessert! childhood staple. so easy to make too, please consider â„ could be a french canadian video too lol poutine and stuff
YEEEESSSSSSSSS!! Also tarte au sucre!! Yuuummmm!
@@VeryCherryCherry omg a CLASSIC. I miss it haha
I would suggest doing an episode of gross 1950s jello salads but NO I wouldn't want to see my beloved Reactistanis go through that!
They must be really thankful for the amount of information you provide these people đâ€
I remember an elderly friend of mine who has since passed used to make Kasha Varniskes. She said it tasted good now that she could make it just because she wanted to, not because there wasn't anything else.
Let's make "Bismillah" happen đ Love this phrase
đReach out tođđ, tell him you have anxiety, depression, panic attack, ADHD or PTSD and wait for his recommendations heâs the bestâŠ
It's like saying grace before eating or drinking..it means
" In the name of God" đ
It already is!
it has been happening for over a thousand years
Wacky Cake is considered a ww2 cake since that is when it came out. Depression Cake came out in 1918 during the last year of ww1 was heavily eaten during the Great Depression.
My parents were born in 30 and 32 when the depression 1st hit. I grew up eating the depression food that my mother knew how to cook. I had never heard of either one of them
That where he said "we're both ruthless with potatoes" and the part after. I can co-sign that too. Lol.
Thank you for creating videos like this. We're enjoying and at the same time learning. đ
4:10 , " It looks like a burger to me", someone has some explaining to do giving that lovely woman triangle-shaped burgers
most Great Depression era foods are not bad even to today's standards as they are all simple but filling. i say most cause there's the infamous dandelion salad.
Also a trivia about Great Depression era food is that Kraft Mac and Cheese, a popular instant macaroni and cheese item to this day, was made and most available during the Great Depression
And dandelions are so good for you! It's now a high priced item for teas and green juices.
Yeah. With hot dogs cut up in it. Still good.
I have the feeling dandelions were more popular for wine back then, lol. Greens for the kids, juice for the adults, lol.
Thanks for having them try potatoe pancake I remember recommending them I'm glad they liked them đ
Potatoes are asking for it. Too tasty. Show no mercy đđœïž
When it comes to potatoes, Americans probably have as many methods of preparing them as y'all do!
Let's see...
Boiled, baked, twice baked, scalloped, au gratin, potato cakes or fritters, fried (such as French fries), home fries, tater tots, creamed, mashed (or "smashed"), potato soup, dumplings, bread and potato salad...
Oh my goodness! It's getting difficult to think of everything I've either seen or made myself from or with potatoes. đ
It's definitely a versatile root vegetable and to be honest, I don't know many people who don't like some type of potato dish. I have met a few, but it's VERY few... at least of the people that I know!
Fun, informative and very entertaining video, as always! Thanks team! đđ
Potato pancakes are still somewhat popular. I think they were very kind today because of the history.
Let them try swedish food!! Or swedish candy
That would be cruel. :P
As far as I can tell, salty licorice is very much an acquired taste, even in us Scandinavians.
Oh man salty licorice? These lovable people don't deserve torture. That ranks up there with surstromming đ€ą
Not sure whether they would even try lutefisk, surstrĂžmming or sild (pickeled herring)....
I would love to try salty liquorice.
I am am American, and I tried some! No one in my family was a fan. đ like candy rolled in ramen seasoning...
Wait!!!! Did Mama like ALL OF THEM?!!!!!
YT algorithms broken now!
I wasnât born yet during that period and Thanks guys for doing this video. I have zero knowledge about this and let alone knowing what is Depression Era
The one guy, when talking about potatoes, sounds like Bubba saying, "there's millions of ways you can make shrimp." đ€đŠđ„đ
My grandmother used to make crazy cake for me when I was a kid . I loved it .
This reminds me a little of the time my family and I moved to a new state and barely made a living. Finding a new place to live and finding work for my dad was a blessing. As a child, I did not realize for a long time we were poor. For many years, we were given canned food and nonperishables and thought it was normal. I came to like chili con carne.
We may not have been suffering from any Depression, but it did feel strange when we became financially stable enough to not require charity food any longer. Suddenly, we were buying fresh food. I found myself missing the canned food for a long time, ha ha.
My grandparents (motherâs parents) were young adults during the depression. They worked on a potato farm. They talked about only having potatoes to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
My parents were born in 30 and 32. I can confirm that.... my grandmother had potatoes on the table at every meal. At breakfast she would take the leftover boiled potatoes from dinner the night before and fry them up. To be honest, the only time I ever crave potatoes is when I want French fries
Is there a dessert potato dish like adding sugar or a sweetener to a potato base to make something palatable?
Wacky cake sound like it has a certain herb in it.đđ
lol
Such truly wonderful human beings.
I didn't know that Wacky Cake was a depression era food! My mom made it all the time and I still make it on occasion. It is mixed in the pan it bakes in and my family loves it. Simple, dense chocolate cake.
Excellent video guys đ I always enjoy listening to Mr. Mustafa his whit and wisdom are a blessing.
I still make a form of wacky cake that was taught to me.
Itâs great if you have egg or milk allergies. I used to make a version of it too, that I learned in college. My kids donât like
Chocolate, so I havenât made one in years
I made cookies recently just peanut butter sugar and an egg real quick and good Iâve also made that peanut butter bread and it was pretty good too
We make poor manâs meal. Hotdogs and potatoes. We add onions and cabbage sometimes. But itâs good and a filling frugal meal to feed a big or small family for breakfast or lunch
well done, thanks to this channel I've heard of peanut butter bread and I'll try that recipe at home.
And within the last 25 years Iâve been through some hard periods and potato pancakes are pretty good just mash up potatoes and some onions garlic fry âem up
donât cost a lot
The Depression mainly effected the USA. In Britain and other countries; during and after WW2, there was food rationing. Maybe you could try out some of those recipes.
Mama should be happy the food couldn't be more all natural đđ€«đ
He said they were delicious and there was nothing lacking in even a single dish. Coming from him, that's high praise indeed.
Great video!
Great video! Love the historic ones, very interesting to hear what they thought of hard ships. I'm sure there are examples of times like that all over the world, unfortunately.
đReach out tođđ, tell him you have anxiety, depression, panic attack, ADHD or PTSD and wait for his recommendations heâs the bestâŠ
Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches were another depression era food for children... My father grew up on them and loved them... He passed that love of them on to me...I know they sound weird but, they are delicious.
A popular Depression food my grandparents had as kids was cabbage and bacon.
Bacon was cheap to get at the time, so they took some and cut it up in bite size pieces and cooked it, took some cabbage that was also cheaply available and sliced it up. Put the chopped cabbage in the pot that the bacon is cooking in and occasionally stir till the cabbage is fully cooked, and serve!
My grandparents passed it down to my dad and siblings when they hit rough times in the 60âs, and my dad cooked it when we hit rough times when i was a kid. Nowadays, since bacon is now expensive, its a special treat.
Haven't seen lady VIP for a while
Miss her. Hope she's fine......
I actually made a Wacky Cake with my kid a couple of days ago since they're learning about the Great Depression. It isn't a "delicious" cake, but it is surprisingly good for the ingredients
1:56
Mama is talking about Maple tree.
the depression is a history lesson for most people. My mother lived in Eastern Montan, ate bacon grease on toast sandwiches, radish and butter sandwiches, and lots and lots of eggs because they had their own chickens............ potatoes 7 days a week, meat once a week........she wore hand-me-down shoes with cardboard to fill the holes, and hand-me-down clothes....... and ate asparagus they picked out of the local slough. For Christmas, the big treat in their stocking was......... an orange. My mother always put an orange in our stockings at Christmas as homage to the Depression and her own upbringing, hoping we'd understand where our family started and where we ended up. And we did, and still put an orange in our stockings, understanding that these people sacrificed so much for an orange for each child. The United States in 1929-1939 was a 3rd world country with millions of people eeking out a miserable existence in their little towns all over America. So when you hear whining 20 year olds complaining about 1st world technology problems......... I know from the source what actual hardships are.
yo, depression cake is my fave. i love it.
And potato pancakes are still the best pancakes
I just had potato pancakes three days ago. Still love them.
Y'all eating my most favorite potato cake. My late grandma made this all the time. Because I begged her. We mixed it with, 2 eggs 1/2 or 2 cups of flour. And peel and shredded potatoes mixed well. My grandma used 4 potatoes because she knows how much I love leftovers. She put black pepper and salt and garlic seasoning. Yummy.
My great grandparents lived on opossum and potatoes.
We love the Tribal People Family! From the forests and oceans of California~
Italian American stuff back then was pea and pasta lentils and pasta ,potatoes and eggs peppers and eggs
What lovely gracious people
As a kid my Mom still made depression food she ate as a kid and I still make. (1) diced potatoes and hotdogs fried. (2) 'Slop' elbow noodles w/ canned tomatoes, grnd. beef and canned sweet corn. Still taste awesome!
Extreme respect to you all. First world nations of today simply donât know these hardships. You are intelligent to see what gifts of god can bring in hard times
Thank you â€â€â€
Hi, everybody! đ
We eat potatoes pancakes hot with sour cream and chives but the potatoes are shredded with carrots & cabbage if you like.
admin plsssss try them filipino food..
7:19 was my favorite part of this episode đđ
Tomato soup=ketchup packets and hot water. Maybe if you were lucky some free crackers. That was more of a city thing.
I was thinking, how about some good old country food for them to try? You could start with Fried Green Tomatoes with Ranch dressing to dip in, then move on to maybe some Chicken Fried Steak, then finish it off with some Sugar Cream Pie. That would be fun!
Or how about typical American cookout food? Throw down on some BBQ Beef Short Ribs, Potatoe Salad, some Grilled Green Beans, Cole Slaw, and some grilled Pineapple slices coated in brown sugar so they caramelize and then throw a sccop of vanilla ice cream on top! Good stuff!
I think it's too much American food already. So many other regions to taste.....
@@Lassisvulgaris I agree, to an extent, and that's why I have also suggested foods from all over the world in the past.
My father went through the depression but fortunately he was in a foreign with his grandparents so they had milk from the cows grade from the fields and a basic diet the war was on and they needed oil for the war so they didnât have a lot of oil
There are other more common depression era foods that have lingered with Americans all this time. There are Pies made out of wild fruits, casseroles, macaroni and cheese, salads made with foraged greens like dandelions, Hoover Stews, Egg Drop Soup, Chocolate Creme Pie and Rice Pudding.
My father and aunt were born shortly before the GD and that time was their early childhood. They were very fortunate and always had food. My dad told me Grandmother would make big ham sandwiches for the men who came to the kitchen door asking for food and they would eat them in four or five giant bites. They also did yard work and other heavier work for a nickel, about the cost of a loaf of bread at the time.
another depression era thing was using dandelion - leaves, flowers and everything for salads and other things. and very healthy.
Water pie makes me cry. Kind of.
Whoever picked the cast & concept did well. đ
Peanut butter bread is my common breakfast food
..This was awesome and informative, but plz let's give Fam forks next time-it's easier! â€ïž
Shoofly pie is a good one, and tasty!
Hold on - peanut butter bread?? I need to look that up, right freaking now.
hi reactistan
2:55
"Ssssssssss"
translates to:
"Bismillah"
lol
Maybe show them how to make a water pie
That potato pancake looks goodđ
My grandparents suffered during the Great Depression. The era was so saddening that they rarely spoke of it, because they wanted to enjoy their lives without reliving the bad memories. Thank you so much for making this video. This keeps the memory of my grandparents' strength and fortitude alive. đđ€
Love seeing that the people on this channel are more excepting of trying untraditional foods đ
OMG! What a mean trick! đ€Łđđ€Łđ How could you give these people Depression era foods to try? Their nice comments are just to be polite. đ€Łđđ€Łđ
probably a troll
Mustafa likes food made simply. He seemed to enjoy this food more than many other episodes.

Mehboob and manzoor's duo is the duo we all needed đ
I'm from the American Midwest, and we are similarly harsh on our potatoes.
"Waitress, ths potato is bad."
"Bad, bad potatoe! Now please tell if's bothering you again, Sir...."
@@Lassisvulgaris Lmao!
and they thank Allah .... I â€ïž that đ„łđ„ł
Happy to see you guys but in the context of the current events thus is a bad omen đđđ

"When depressed, we add too much salt to the curry."
Similar saying in my country "When you fall in love and wants to get married so bad, your cooking will be more salty"
All uncle thinks about is bread $$$ lol
Don't hurt Mehboob, he is a good man! I love you all, and thank you, I think I will make some potato pancakes now!
Please try jollibee
I grew up hearing about the Depression from my parents. These recipes were not part of their experience. My mother told me about her little girlfriend that only had one dress. My grandparents admonished my mother never to accept an invitation to dinner at such a girl's house, because if they had a couple of potatoes or a few beans, that was all they had. My father grew up on skim milk, from the Salvation Army and day old bread. Bread didn't come in plastic bags, back then, so it was stale. People today cannot image such poverty. These "Depression Ear Foods" make light of the Great Depression. It ticks me off.
"We do such cruel things to potatoes!" đđ€Łđ„
The story of Stone Soup is the story of the depression
