The Garbage Soup of 1932 🥣 #history #shorts #survivalAdded:
Ever heard of garbage soup? In 1932, it wasn't a joke. It was dinner. Homeless men in Hoovervilles would gather around a single pot. One found a wilted carrot, another a stray bone, maybe a handful of stolen beans. They threw it all in, boiling it into a thin, watery stew.
