  1. My great grandmother used to make this for my mom when she was little and even now in her 50s it’s one of my moms favorite meals to make I feel like it’s her comfort meal

  2. The price of it at the time is precisely the same as of current price. If adjusted precisely to the inflation level of the time, you are a slave begging for work.

  3. Oh I love this stuff my family didn’t use carrots in ours but everything else looks pretty spot on it tasted great and could normally have left overs.

  4. My mother used to make this all the time when I was growing up. No other vegetables, just hamburger, tomato, and macaroni. She called it "hamburger, tomato, and macaroni". She couldn't cook and still refuses to learn how, but it's pretty hard to screw up a meal with three ingredients that takes 15 minutes to prepare.

  5. The older I get, the more I start to realize my grandparents who grew up in the great depression also cooked great depression meals for my whole childhood

  6. Russian here. This looks a lot more like our thing called макароны по-флотски, translates to Navy-style macaroni, than goulash. The way we (I personally) cook it is even simpler (not nearly as much vegetables), but just macaroni, ground meat and onions make for an amazing taste and a really nutritious meal, albeit not exactly healthy.

  7. I eat that on home office days, calling that goulash is offending and that is an amount of meat for well off people not financial depression.
