Porcupine Meatballs and more..Depression era food part 1 of 3...
1. Carrot Pie This uncommon treat dates back at least to 1845, but the hard economic times meant that a return to the old colonial American habit of using veggies in sweet pies again made good sense. This sweet treat uses many of the same ingredients as an apple pie, but with pureed carrots instead of apples.
2.Jake and Lena Cookies Named after a radio show named Jake and Lena that promoted the recipe, these cookies were also known as poorman’s cookies. Flavored with raisins, nutmeg, cinnamon, and walnuts, these bars were likely still out of reach for poorer families, but do not contain eggs, which would have allowed one to save those for soups, sandwiches, or scrambles.
3. Porcupine Meatballs This dish gets its name from the rice which not only extends the meat by a long way, but which also sticks out like little porcupine quills. Considered an American classic by some, this is one Depression era dish that many people still make to this day as comfort food.
