>What was eating like in the Great Depression?

My dad was 15 when WWII started and the first time he tried to escape Poland to join the Free Polish Army in Exile, the Germans caught him and sent him back home. The 2nd time, they caught him and beat his ass (breaking a couple of ribs) and sent him back home. The 3rd time they caught him, they shipped him off to a forced labor camp in Austria, where he said breakfast was a slice of bread with lard and dinner was a slice of bread with lard (there was no lunch).

But one time, he caught a cat and they fried it up on the cast iron stove (they had no pots or pans) and everybody got a bite and he was hero of the barracks for a day.
