Great Depression Cooking Ep:7 – Poorman’s Feast

Friday, February 5th, 2010

{question}


IMPORTANT: There have been a few requests concerning this video. The first is to notify people that when preparing lentils to check for stones. There should be a warning about this on the packaging of your lentils and please follow their instructions. The second item is a question about why Clara reuses the lemon from the marinade. It has long been known that citric acid (in this case a lemon) is nature’s anti-bacterial agent. Today it is more commonly known as produce wash or FIT (Fruit and Vegetable Wash). There are many studies out today that consider FIT a more successful anti-bacterial agent than chlorine dioxide (which is produced chemically rather than naturally). Many cultures continue to use the citric acid from lemons and limes to cleanse meat and fish as this marinade does. Clara cooks quite responsibly and always uses the freshest meats and fish when preparing her meals. You must always cook any meal at any time at your own risk. Clara is only providing you with lessons she has learned and she has lived to a ripe old age. If you are nervous about her tips then just enjoy the videos for the historical value. If you are curious about the science behind citric acid you can find many articles online as well as this one here: www.upi.com Thanks again for your concern and enjoy the show. 93 year old cook and great grandmother, Clara, recounts her childhood during the Great Depression as she prepares meals from the era.

At what point during the Great Depression did economists start calling it a depression?

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009


Image taken on 2008-09-28 20:14:41 by Bead-Fancy Designer.
I just wonder if the experts and economists called it a “recession” or a recession “or other euphemisms so long after it was over, when it finally found a depression or have adopted a global depression right from the start.

United States during the Great Depression and the New Deal Eras?

Friday, December 11th, 2009


Image taken on 2008-09-24 11:09:57 by loop_oh.
What is the context, or/and some specific details about, the cause of the Great Depression and how it affected society. What were the different strategies used to combat the Great Depression. What factors led to the failure of Herbert hoover’s strategy and why, in comparison, was F.D.R.’s approach so successful? What are some specific programs of the “New Deal” [accomplishments and limitations]. Did the New Deal get America out of the Great Depression?

I think that what ended the Great Depression was the war!
