What other powers from WWII would you like to see me cover in this series?
Also, here is the newsreel I mentioned in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDR0MAscaCw
Ploughing the lawn while in a snazzy coat, tie and hat 16:47
nothing as bad as the 'great toilet paper' shortage of 2020!
no that's some we can talk to our grandkids about.
If you don't have Wheaties, you could also use saltine crackers or cut oats.
I can't wait for the German dishes!
The steak looks like those Hungry Man dinner meals. I am pretty sure this taste a lot better than those.
It actually looked pretty good, but I'm not sure how that was supposed to feed 4-5 people.
Awfully phallic steak there mate.
My grandmother was interned at Poston II when she was about 6. She still remembers her family losing their strawberry farm, only to then be ordered to grow cantaloupes in Arizona. The internment camp victory gardens were not entirely voluntary, though my great grandparents did use it to feed their kids fresh foods. The camps were deliberately placed in "unproductive" plots of land, and were then cultivated using essentially prisoner labor.
Nisei War Gardens sound interesting.
Sounds like rationing could have been handy during Corona if implemented right
DEFINITELY cover the food in the Japanese internment camps! There are still folks alive who were imprisoned in them, such as George Takei ("Sulu" from "Star Trek").
My grandfather had a market & butcher shop in Los Angeles during WW2. My father used to tell stories of rationing when he was a kid. he and his father used to transport a ½ cow at a time in their passenger car to bring it to the butcher shop to sell to their customers. I have no idea if this was because of regular transportation shortages or if they were selling black market steaks? joking about the black market steaks- kind of
All rationing does is create a black market
Typical government. Would rather destroy someone's ration stamp then encourage people to use what they have be it trade or sale
I would love to see a video on the internment camp gardens. I hope you include stories about the inmates' lives after they were released.
Does anyone have the link to that government video explaining rationing? It sounds really interesting ha
I couldn’t live through rationing coffee. I would have to fight if that means I get coffee
Do the internment camp video! Given the cyclic nature of history, it would be good to know what happened.
I remember seeing a film in high school history where a woman talked about the foods eaten in the concentration camps. It was very interesting how they were able to improvise. General knowledge is always helpful!
Recipes like this make me wonder… were meatloaf and tacos not very common in the US at the time?
you call it emergancy steak
i call it a cheap and tasty dinner
My father found his old ration book the other day.
I want to make this! I’m dying to see how the wheaties work in this 🤔🤔
I believe England had ration cards/tickets. My dad grew up in the war, but he’s gone now, so I can’t verify. He also grew up on a farm with 1/4 acre garden space.
I would love more of these types of recipes. Grocery prices are expensive these days, and just keep going up!
Lived in Germany for almost a decade. Had many conversations with my wife’s aunt who was born only a few short years after the end of the war. She explained to me that her and her little brothers rarely went hungry but that’s only cause their parents usually skipped eating or shared a meal together.
That had no right looking as appealing as it did.
I never do meatloaf it's not popular in Australia but looks like tomorrow nights dinner I'm doing a spin on this
Salisbury steak or a flat meatball.
better than tofu…
Emergency steak 🚫 meatloaf 👍😂😂😂
I would love to see a video based around the Japanese Internment camps and what recipes they had, but as a suggestion: you have to get George Takei to guest-star and give his story as to what went on inside these camps. I think that would be highly informative and awesome to see.
Now eat it rare
After having served and have eaten many MREs I have to say…..this doesn't look that bad. Give me some A1 sauce(or any hot sauce will do) and some mashed potatoes, greens(such as mustard or collards, and some apple cider vinegar to go with them, to add flavor) and coleslaw and I'd be happy.
It might be kinda weird but I’d like to see you do a segment on what the nazis ate during the war.
Exceptional good video! 👍
That T-bone there looks a lil silly 💀💀
We didn't arrive late
The war ended because we arrived
Didn't the internment camps include Germans, Italians, communists and socialists?
Please do make a video or video series on the Japanese internment camp dishes! :]
I would love for you look at foods in American interment camps but after you lukewarm accounting of the Irish famine, I would be afraid that you would refuse to take it with the seriousness it calls for.
So this is where McDonald & Burger King got their idea for the BeekSteak Sandwiches in the late 70s.
Steak shaped meatloaf with uncooked onions.
Please do a segment on the foods cooked and eaten by the Japanese who were interned.
