“Ketchup + Hot Water = Soup ,LOL I saw it in the movies”
My relatives apparently LIVED on this in the 30’s. My great uncle actually said that he and his family would DIE before taking a handout. My grandfather was very skilled and always had a job during the Depression. So, he became great friends with my great uncle, and had him and his family over every week for dinner. My godmother told me many years later, THAT was her meal for the week!!!
Mustard sanwhiches was another one my mother said they used to eat.
Bread, mustard and a sprinkle of sugar,,,it was not that bad!
