Clara is back!!! 94 year old cook and great grandmother, Clara, recounts her childhood during the Great Depression as she prepares meals from the era. Learn how to make simple yet delicious dishes while listening to stories from the Great Depression.
@dinkydau444. Your a FUCKING IDIOT!! That IS the REAL Christopher Walken. It’s NOT a impersonation. Your such an IDIOT!!
@StarFieldsCo He was cooking it for his cat.
@Kali23Yuga Oh i wonder where you got that quote from………
This is the worst impression I’ve ever heard… he looks a lot like him though ;p
come on Walken, you don’t need that much salt for your bird!
make sure there are no watches hehe… up the chickens ass
boil them… BOIL THEM
he is a scary scary man
can you imagine making a wise ass comment when he is “cutting off the fat” of the chicken? I would just keep saying ” looks great Mr Walken, really it will taste great” ! (the cat is now dead I would think)
they’re like little cookies, I save them.
this gives me the chills….comforting…feels right at home..with unbridled enthusiasim
this without the glamour
Several points of amusement: he cooks his bird “standing” up, he puts a ton of salt in the cavity and cooks bottomless pears in with the chicken. Very odd.
@darraghful Well he plays up the accent and adds that scratchy smokers-voice to it for lots of his movie parts. What you hear in the vid is actually closer to how that accent actually sounds; you don’t really hear it that often these days because it’s been dying off since the 1950s, but it used to be all over the boroughs and Manhattan. WHen folks talk about a New York accent in older movies, shows, and books, that’s what they’re talking about.
@jerryfudala Some folks who live in apartments, or have lived in apartments for much of their life, develop an odd aversion to replacing furniture and appliances. I’d assume it has something to do with getting heavy stuff up stairs or in and out of elevators.
Hey Chris! Do you have another recipe for chicken without a half a cup a salt there??? I’m afraid. I would retain so much water I wouldn’t be able pee for a week! Ha!
Good For You Mr. Walken GOOD FOR YOU!!
needs more cowbell
With his money, you would think he could afford a better microwave…
Christopher Walken is my all-time favorite. Thank you for posting this….
legend
@Middles81 same here its almost like other people do a better walken than the man himself lol
is this really Christopher walken?
woweewowwow!
I LOVE U CHRIS!
that last part was really funny. my grandma also
freaks over worms.
@BIGMAMAHURT It literally means “piss in the bed.” The dandelions are an ancient herbal treatment for bedwetting and urinary incontinence in France. Sometimes French is very vulgar. They have some of the rudest euphemisms for things! I’ve published lists of French dirty words and insults in magazines such as BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED.
@slobomotion
pissinit? that what dey called? lol damn that crazy
@slobomotion Oh yes completely! Chicory and dandelion are delicious and good for you!
@papillonaquatique Hee hee hee! I must say I drink darn little coffee but if it’s not mostly chicory, I won’t touch it. Coffee is dreadful here in France, anyway. I’ve been running a small export business to the States for years now. Those packages of chicory are very popular. They are cheap and make great gifts. I only sell packaged stuff with labels, so it’s all legal and declared. No caffeine, which screws with our CNS, and again, it’s nourishing.
@slobomotion Oh don’t get me started on Europe. Those Brits with their Dandelion and Burdock. Most awful drink ever invented.
I wish the chicory here in the US was more plentiful. It is getting pretty hard to find what should be common plants.
@papillonaquatique This is done in France, also chicory. These are nourishing, healthful beverages. My spice lady outside Paris sells cherry stems! People throw them out in the States, they have no idea!
Dandelions are called pissenlit in France and are enjoyed in the Spring and considered good for all urinary tracts. The way she serves them would be quite appreciated in Turkey, where vinegar is never added to salads, only oil and lemon juice. (Some spice maybe.) I am American and my parents and also my French inlaws will not eat Depression food, as it makes them too sad, too many bad memories.
@auntbecky
hm hm fix me up a plate a dem chitlins wif some collerd greens that good shit but y’all can keep yo’ flowers dat ain’t food knumsayin? lol crazy ass white girl
@BIGMAMAHURT right, and some people used to eat pig guts. if you can’t be nice go somewheres ele.
@BIGMAMAHURT Flower eating is not race exclusive. Dandelions, rose petals, saffron, nasturtiums ect. are all flowers that have been eaten throughout history and dandelion is even referenced in The Bible. Alot of common foods such as apples, eggplants and pumpkins start off as flower blossoms and mature into the fruits and vegetables we love.
Another use for dandelion is in making coffee. You take the roots of a dandelion and cut them lengthwise and dry them in the oven and then roast them. It is a civil war ear recipe for when no coffee is available and it is also a cure for water retention.
Dandelions are delicious. However there are true dandelions and false dandelions. True dandelions don’t have branches. Anyone looking to go out in their yard and pick some dandelions must be careful. Just think of any pesticides you or the previous owners of your property might have used! If you are going to use them in your cooking I suggest growing your own.
We pick Dandelion out of our yard, rinse and either throw it into a salad, steam it like spinach or juice it!! It’s VERY HEALTHY for you!!
the 6 people who dislike this clearly dont have hearts, Clara is an insperation!
Dandelions ain’t food it’s a flower lol dayumm po’ ass crackas used ta eat FLOWERS dayumm history you SCARY
Shes so active and lively for a 94 year old. Very inspiring!

i’d cook it with bacon and add a touch of lemon juice at the end
Thank you Clara! How special to see You again!
beats spraying poison on them to kill them.
