A couple of years back I found a Woman's League spiral bound cookbook (1985) on cooking during the Depression in a Thrift. It was full of personal stories about how people made do with what they had or could scrounge. The stories are sobering about those tough times
It was only ww2 that changed the dynamic. At that time the US had an extensive industrial plant that was just laying dormant. Today? It ain't the same.
