I remember when after WWII my mother substituted stinging nettle for spinach which used to be my most favorite vegetable. She put flower on the nettles before she chopped them with the knife

My 7th grade math abd science teacher was a POW in Germany during WWII. He told us that at the camp he was at there were Russian POWs in a section next to them. He said that the Germans would not feed the Russians and that the Russians would pull grass boil it and eat it.

If spinach was your favorite vegetable then, clearly, you’re capable of handling a depression!

Russian immigrants:

Dough balls boiled in milk....(Gnocci)

Potato stuffed dough in butter (Pierogie)

Barter: Pie for eggs.....Beef for pork.....

These farm folks in Brockport NY didn't even know there was a depression.
