Depression Era Cooking

[Wyogal]

I went back to the beginning of this thread to watch the video, I couldn't see any of them, it kept saying "a mistake has occurred..."
But I understand the whole "cutting in the hand" type of cooking. That is how my mother and grandmothers cooked. I prefer to cut up hard boiled eggs in my palm. If you watch some world cooking shows, watch for this type of knife skill. When one doesn't have tables or counterspace, know how to cut food up in one's hands without cutting themselves is indeed a skill. It goes directly into the pot, usually, too.
