No one fried pork chops and chicken better than my grandma. From Eastern NC
These would be better if you stated the ingredients. Just explaining why they are cheap or easy. Recipes require the correct ingredients, not conversation. Thanks.
The one thing that you didn't mention about the rice is a good idea. Also, in the sifting eliminates any unwanted bugs or anything, such as the bugs and whatever else that are in the rice in some countries
The other good thing about the old-fashioned chicken
Topping known as corn flakes, is as far as them being nutritious and whatever else they are pretty much close to what KFC did in the beginning and again. There's not very much at all. Greece or funny tastes or anything like that. It's all good for you
And if you don't have oil for the pasta to keep them from sticking a little bit of a pinch of salt will do.
Okay, it's an old mother, hubbard trick
Some of the recipes sound good, but we could go without the annoying loud music in the background. And use someone that puts the correct annunciation on many of the words
Speaking of jellied eel, there is a great story about Babe Ruth. Babe had an incrdible appetite being a poor kid raised on the mean streets of Baltimore by a single father who owned a bar, it's no doubt that Babe only got to eat what his father laid out of the free lunch menu that many bar owners had to encourage more people to stay longer and spend more. Well when Babe was invited to Lou Gehrig's home and Lou's mother fixed eel, Babe fell in love with the dish and thereafter ate eel mixed not in jelly, but chocolate ice cream!
A few cheap and easy dishes you did not mention- deep fried chicken livers, gizzards, and hearts, individually or combined. Shrimp or crab Louie,-was a chef type salad with the shrimp or crab replacing the ham or bacon and served with a "Louie" sauce that was sort of like thousand island with a spicy kick. You can find recipes for the sauce and variations of it on the net. Pizza burgers-cheeseburgers topped with marinara sauce instead of condiments like mustard or ketchup usually served for tuesday's lunch after monday''s spaghetti supper when there was sauce left over and another pound of hamburger in the fridge.Salmon patties or crab cakes made with canned Jack Salmon or canned crab for those of us in "Flyover land" .A staple for Catholics on Fridays when we were not allowed to eat meat. Cabbage rolls filled with spiced ground beef covered in softened boiled cabbage leaves and baked in an oven with tomato sauce. Stuffed peppers, stuffed with chopped meat, rice, and spices and cooked upright in a water bath.
The only recipe in the video I remember my mother made in the 50s and 60s was fried chicken floured and fried with Crisco, and jello for a cheap dessert. We lived in Maryland, and crabs and crab cakes were a part of our lives. Tuna salad, roast chicken, grilled chicken and steaks, vegetable soup, hamburgers and hot dogs. Some of the recipes in the video I've never heard of.
My mother made the best spaghetti with meat sauce I’ve ever tasted, and she had no Italian ancestry at all. ❤❤❤
Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Where are the recipes? Just hinting is not a recipe.
Ugh, no jellied dinners, or eel…🤮
