25 Forgotten Farmers Dinners No One Makes Anymore!

This is a wild ride on the way-back-time-machine. I recall having about 1/3 of these dishes. We still make some bean dishes, the hot salad, and hamburger steak & gravy, the sauerkraut and pasta, and a few more.

Some of the still photos in between featured items are sort of out of place, so keep an eye out for them. Enjoy.

I'll have to give this a watch this weekend. Sounds interesting. The
Onion Pie listed would most likley go over well here.

Lots of high carb / high calorie dishes. And they were still skinny cause they burned a lot of calories doing the hard work of farming.

Great video !

Great video . Well worth watching . My Dad ate wilted lettuce all the time .
We ate a lot of chicken necks and drop dumplings or just dumplings and a beef gravy .
Love the salt pork part . I do sections of pork butt with TQ . Great for green beans and potatoes , but so many uses .

still photos in between featured items are sort of out of place, so keep an eye out for them.

The movies ,
Braveheart and Fury , but loved the Terence Hill . They call me Trinity / My name is nobody .
Fun movies .
Thanks for posting .

I watched half and saved half for tonight. Loved the onion pie and had never heard of salsify.

Yep good stuff, reminds of my grandparents house. Always had a wonderful smell through the whole house.

I've enjoyed a few of these. Notably vinegar pie. Mom's recipe was even more hardscrabble as it was also called syrup pie because it was sweetened with syrup instead of sugar. While this may seem strange it was because my mom's family is from Louisiana and they grew sugar cane on their farm. They made their own syrup at home but didn't process sugar which had to be bought from a store. Sadly, I'm afraid I've lost her recipe.
