Meals during the Great Depression.

Some of my favorite meals during the Great Depression.

Fried potato sandwich. I do not recall anything except potato on the sandwich. I liked my fried potato crispy. I guess that is why I like French fries.

Lettuce sandwich. With lots of mustard and tomatoes.

Sugar sandwich. If available a piece of bread was coated with condensed milk. A light coating of sugar was applied. Delicious.

Fried cornmeal mush.

Potato soup. Water based.

I remember salt pork at four and one half cents per pound that was used to make gravy. Good with lots of biscuits.

Fried rabbit now and then.

I was lucky that I lived in the Pomona Valley in Southern California. There were fruit orchards everywhere. Fresh fruit for desert.
