Shucks we still eat Tomato gravy and love it. Fried potatoes with anything is great, and half of these foods mentioned are pretty darn good. I grew up a poor Hillbilly from Appalachia and people still eat a lot of these foods.
“Survival moms” have been going since at least 9/11.
I’m sad to not find the depression food list. 🙁

Thanks for the correction here.
With all that’s happening with covid-19, we may have to start adopting frugal measures to get by. A return of the Great Depression? I hope not.
I love to make everything from scratch! I an a chef, but.. just being honest here….most kitchens of chains, etc…dont allow chefs to make anything from scratch! They worry about consistent recipe making and for good reason: You could line up a ton of us and although we follow the recipe, it may not taste or look the same. Also, real, from scratch takes a lot of time( pay more man hours) and, gravy tends to break on a hot line. Thankful for this quarantine time to try out all the homemade recipes I work! And oh, they are teaching us how to get back to the old ways of cooking and baking.
Did you know that Cheesecake Factory does, in fact, make everything except their cheesecakes from scratch at their restaurants?
