Great Depression Food
Who would have thought that juniors would eat up all the kielbasa, cabbage, and potatoes dish made by Jonathan Zoromski for his first semester-end project? The juniors for this unit not only made this but some made puppy chow, macaroni, and cheese, a sweet drink that is similar to orange Julius as well as pieces of bread, cookies, and muffins-the food disappeared as fast as it was handed out. Students had their choice of how to demonstrate knowledge from the first semester and quite a few choose to make food because many of the recipes are some that they grew up with, not realizing that they connected to a time period where people were being frugal as they could be.
