• 2:56
  Speaker 4: survived on some dishes and their bad to be specifically.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: To be specific, this includes the budget. So carribunis and
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: and I hope you enjoy the conversation.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: In nineteen eighty one, food stamp cuts hit hard and
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: the average Black household saw as grocery budget shrink by
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: almost a fifth in one summer.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And of course we know that the food stumps.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Of course, even today in twenty twenty six, that is
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: another problem.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: We talked about this.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: We saw how many people are going crazy, going in stars,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: stealing from people who already done shopping.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And might it even get worsened.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: The mothers who had raised In nineteen eighty one, food
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: stamp cuts hit hard and the average Black household saw
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: as grocery budget shrink by almost a fifth in one summer.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: The mothers who had raised children on Carter era prices
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: suddenly faced.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: Reagan era shells.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: That kitchen had a sound, a pressure cooker rattling on
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: the back burner, corn bread spinning, it have fat, A
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: part of greens simmered down to nothing, while a working
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: mother punched out at the second job.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: It's crazy because if I'm looking at this now today,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I even learned something interesting that, of course, which I
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: think is maybe the same as us, because there's some
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: people how I make my galley, that people make their
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: galley different. The people like their gally with salt. They
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: are those who don't like gally with salt. Literally, So
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I've just actually lunched today that there is a difference
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: between the northern and the Southern food. You know, there
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: is how the northern people like their corndred or how
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: they've grown up with that recipe of their corn bred,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: and the Southern people they have a different recipe of
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: their corn bridge. So when these two people meet and
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: maybe one tastes of food from the other person, they'll
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: only say something is missing because each group has grown
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: up with something different in a little bit when it recipes.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Literally, there's something you know different from what I know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Number seventeen on this list fed a family of five
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: for under three dollars. Number eleven vanished the year food
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: courts opened in them all. Number three on this list
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: was the supper every grandmother stretched into Monday's lunchbox. Here's
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: the paradox of our nineteen eighties soul food kitchen. The
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: cheaper the cut, the deeper the seasoning, and the proud
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: of the plate.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: Quick was not laziness. Quick was math.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: So hit subscribe and pull up a chair, because here
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: are twenty five quick nineteen eighties soul food dishes black
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: seniors made when money was tight. Number twenty five smothered
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: neck bones. The neck bone was the cheapest pork on
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: the meat counter in nineteen eighty two, and Black grandmothers
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: knew it better than the.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Leven know that comments section All, many of you grew
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: up eating this? Maybe in your family when the money
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: was still tight? Did you grow up it in the smoke?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Smooth smathered neck bones. Literally, it looks yummy if you
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: ask me, it looks really really stract.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: What you're behind the case?
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Did a pound went for under a dollar in most
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Southern grocery stores, and one three pound package fed a
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: household of six on a Sunday If you stretched it right.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: The bones went into a heavy pot with chopped onion,
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: garlic powder, a splash of side of vinegar, a bay leaf,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: and water enough to cover by an inch. Two hours
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: of low simmering pulled the marrow into the gravy and
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: the meat slit off the bone with the gentle pull
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: of a fork.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: It really looks so yummy. Personally, if there's something I love,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I love soup. I love soup, but I love having
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: even if I'm not gonna eat like, you know, food
• 6:56

• 24:33
  Speaker 5: heavy skillet, first broken up with the back of a
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: wooden spoon, brown until the edge is caught and the
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: fact ran clear. Three heaping spoons of flour were stirred
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: into the drippings to make a quick route. Then evaporated
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: milk and water were added slow, whist steady until the
• 24:52

  Speaker 5: was Southern luxury at Southern Black prices number twenty one.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Hot water corn bread. The hot water corn bread was
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: a trick that separated grandmothers who could cook from those
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: who only thought they could. Yellow corn meal went into
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: a wide bowl with a heavy shake of salt on
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: top and boiling water poured straight from the tea kettle
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: while a wooden spoon stirred fast. The dough firmed up
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: into a thick paste hot enough to burn your hand
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: if you rushed it. Patties were shaped between two wet

• 26:28
  Speaker 5: in under fifteen minutes, alongside greens and beans and whatever
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: scrap of pork was bubbling in the pot. Black grandmothers
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: and the Mississippi Delta swore the trick was the tea kettle,
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: not the corn meal.
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: Hot water.
• 26:41
