    Salted pork always reminds me of my great grandmother and I’m 63. She was from Poland and I learned this recipe before she left this world, many years ago. She would take diced salt pork and fry it up until crisp. Add boiled cabbage which was squeezed to remove all the water. Then she would chop and add to the salt pork and a whole load of ground black pepper. I mean if you think you have enough, add more! No salt. That was her filling for perogies. Over 120 year old recipes if not longer. Thank you for the memory ❤

    @@syrophenikanx in the Southern US it is a poor man's meal. You can get quite a bit of beans and rice for only a couple dollars. I remember growing up my grandfather would make "soup beans" which is basically what it sounds like. Beans stewed for a long time with water and a little of whatever pork was on hand. There would be cornbread and fried potatoes with it. He made it for the grandkids because it's his favorite, but made it for my mom and her siblings when they were children because they were dirt poor. It's funny how certain things are considered "poor" in different places. Haha. What are some struggle foods that you grew up with?

    They make the same thing in Suriname, the Netherlands and most of Europe. It's just a classic recipe from hundreds of years ago that became popular in Europe because the ingredients store for winter so well. The ingredients travel well too so its very popular with areas of migration. This is also very similar to making pea soup, dried peas cook faster then dried beans though.

    My grandma was the youngest child and orphaned by 12, but had an older brother and sister and aunt & uncle to help out, but even with all of that, she was the one who took up cooking. She grew up in a small town where you could go up to any house and knock on the door to ask for a cookie. She was an amazing baker, and she would always make one cake, cut it in half, and then frost it with two different flavors of frosting, so when company came over they could have their choice of “two” cakes.

    Hi, Emmy! In Brazil, it would be "Everyday Avarage Man's Meal" 😄 The combination of rice and beans is in the base of our food. We have feijoada, a bean stew with several diferent parts of pork, but this is something for special days, because takes a lot more work to do. On the daily basis, brazilian people make beans in a similiar way to the video, but we cook the bean from raw, put garlic and bayleaf (in addition to the onions), sausage and/or salted pork. Usually, we eat with rice, some kind of filet (chicken, pork, beaf...what you want or can buy) and some salad (normally lettuce and tomatos salad).

She told me how she’d be hungry and sneak into the garden with a salt shaker and eat tomatoes. My momaw had a hard life. Here in the Appalachian mountains people were really poor. To hear all the stories from my mom, momaw and my great aunts and uncles you really would have a hard time believing people were so poor and struggled in more modern times. It makes me feel extremely grateful to have all that I do.

Where a stranger comes to town and is hungry, but no one wants to help him. so he puts a huge pot of water on a fire and adds a stone. He lovingly stirs it and tastes it... He says how it is so good, but would be better if it had onions... then someone comes out and adds onions, and the story keeps going till everyone in the village comes out and keeps adding ingredients and everyone eats and loves what was cooked. Thank you Emmy for the lost memory..

    Love the Hard times series. Have you ever heard of "Reviro"? It is a traditional meal in Argentina, more specifically, the province of Misiones. It consists of flour, water and salt. A dough is formed, fried in some oil and then just pulverized while it fries so you end up with something that looks like breadcrumbs. It was a meal invented by the people who worked harvesting yerba mate because there was pretty much nothing else to eat. People from the area still eat it nowadays.

    Oh man for some reason this reminds me of a meal we eat on my island in the Caribbean. It was also considered a poor man's meal at the time but now we all eat it like normal because it's just great and delicious and hearty. Instead of the beans we'd have lentils or red beans, and instead of rice we'd have basically cooked "flour balls". You precook the meat/seafood beforehands and you mix it with a can of cooked lentils/red beans and flour balls, which are exactly what you imagine (flour + water). Add some water (it's like a stew but the sauce gotta be a bit thick and not watery). Season it the way you like. You let the whole thing cook in a big pot until the flour balls get tender and chewy, and then it's ready to eat. My mom often makes it on Sunday, it's delicious and so filling too🥺 I'm considering getting that book, all the recipes look so delicious!! Definitely gonna try this one, thanks Emmy!

    Both of my parents came from the South and salt pork was their 'secret' ingredient as well. I have beautiful memories of snapping beans and cutting up potatoes to simmer together with salt pork and tons of black pepper for hours. So simple, so inexpensive, and just delicious. This recipe looks delicious as well. Thanks for sharing with us ❤️

    Okra gumbo is redundant. Part of what makes gumbo not jambalaya is okra in the recipe. It's like saying baby puppy. Puppy means "baby dog," so saying baby puppy is the same as saying baby baby dog. Anyway, I make something very similar. However, instead of pork & beans, I use the Kroger version of Bush's Baked Beans. I usually use hamburger instead of smoked sausage, but I made this last night with the sausage. I also add a small can (drained) of mushroom bits & pieces; I feel the mushrooms add a little something to the dish. I usually serve it plain (no rice), or I serve it with biscuits or toast or toasted English muffins. I also make it in my slow cooker, as I did yesterday. I noticed you tossed your onion ends and skins into a bucket-thing. Since you have a garden, you're not going to throw those onion bits away, are you? Do you compost your veggie trimmings/peels? Such "throwaways" are very good soil ammendment for your garden once they've reduced down.

    My parents went through the depression and my father declared bankruptcy when I was about one year old. Because my mother had to eat so much rice when she was going through the depression (she was about 10 yrs. old) we never had rice in our house while I was growing up. We ate plenty of beans and frank type meals and lots of potatoes. We never had cheese in the house and never ate fast food or went out to eat. We never had soda in the house unless we were sick and then it was ginger ale. My parents had a garden and my mother would can tomatoes, pickles and also can tomato juice, jam and preserves. My mother raised chickens and had an egg route. We always had chicken every which way she could think of and chicken soup and plenty of eggs. I brought my children up in the 60s and 70s and they never had candy or soda in the house unless it was a holiday and then we had candy. I didn't realize we were poor as it was just a way of eating that I grew up with.

    (There are two different types of 'salt pork' - aka 'fat back', 'streak'ed meat' - one literally has salt crystals on it and the other kind, the type you used, does not. The type you used does NOT have to be rinsed off but the kind that has literal salt crystals on it and is mostly fat with only a little bit of meat, most definitely does. I bet you a quarter THAT is the kind the lady means when she says 'salt pork'. It is extremely flavorful and "gives the pan" a ton of rendered salty grease. After you fry the fat out of it - that fat is fantastic for greens, beans, frying 'flap jacks', greasing the pan for corn bread after pouring a little INTO the cornbread mix...THE LIST GOES ON... - you can eat the "pork rinds". The browned fried fat part is delicious but the actual rind part is really hard and tough but great to gnaw on, lol.)

    Yum! We usually have Bush's baked beans with hamburger or ground turkey. Adding a bit extra brown sugar and ketchup and onions on the side. Vidalias raw. I got a recipe years ago from my Campbell's soup cookbook I think. It was egg noodles and ground sausage. Adding onions and sour cream and tomato paste plus Abit of tomato soup. So good. Got to make it for my Mama before she passed last year. She loved it! The egg noodles package had a kind of strange take on tuna casserole too. They used sour cream and some kind of soup, I think mushroom. But they added pitted green olives! It's really yummy too. Thanks Emmy!🙏🍛

    Honestly it just tastes like unsalted butter mostly, maybe a bit sweeter, so like if you like butter you’ll probably like clotted cream. The texture is more like whipped cream than butter, and it occasionally has a bit of chunkiness to it but overall I’d say it’s worth the effort to make it at least once
