Welcome back to another episode of Hard Times where I explore food and recipes from times of hardship. Today I'm making a recipe from the days of Japanese internment that uses army provisions to make a dish called Weenies Royale. 👑 Big thanks to TJ for suggesting this recipe. 🙏🏻 New videos every Thursday and Saturday 8 pm EST.

This brought back memories for me. When I was young in California, I had a lovely older Japanese couple as neighbors. They needed a little help with heavy things or gardening and my husband and I would help. They would make Eggs Royale for us along with beautiful slices of apple pears. Internment camps were such a terrible time in our history, but in their case there was some sweetness with the bitter. They owned strawberry fields and orchards and their neighbors were so upset that they would lose everything. During all of the years of internment, the neighbors worked those fields and orchards for them and saved the money to give them when they got out. They would cry when they told the story and how proud they were to live in America where even if the policy is wrong the people are good. Thanks Emmy.

Mary Alex I understand the struggle I still remember. Lot of recipes that I made at the end of the month where there was mo.more.money and our freezer was.almost empty. I do hope you have a food bank available to you that is what ended up saving us many times. It would give me just enough food to make s meal I could stretch for 3 to 4 days. For me it was the big cans of stew that we would get that could feed 2 for one meal, and I would add canned peas, green beans, a bit more broth or even water if I didnt have any broth or bullion, then if I was really lucky I had cheese left over and get to add cheese to the stew. That would last us usually for 2 or 3 dinners

We are making it through but sometimes you get tired of Ramen and want something a little more hearty. Right now I’m trying to learn more recipes with rice because that seems to be a big thing at the food bank we have. They give away a lot of rice and pinto beans! Thank you all so much for your encouraging words!

Yep I remember those times. If you have peparika, or cumin or even just the ramen spice packets adding those to rice. Not the full amount but a little bit. Or if you have frozen veggies. Here in Washington state a lot of the smaller bags of frozen veggies are about 0.98 cents adding those to your rice and even adding the beans are good.

Hi Emmy this video was really touching to me. My grandparents whom were Japanese immigrants were held in an interment camp. When I was young my grandmother used to make a very similar dish, and it always confused me as to why she was using hot dogs. She would typically cook very traditional Japanese foods, so for her to use hotdogs was always strange to me. After seeing this video I went and asked her about it. She did indeed get her recipe from the segregation. Thank you for helping spark an interest in my grandmothers past.

Whats your point? Are you suggesting that somehow justifies taking innocent american citizens and stripping them of all constitutional rights and locking them in camps with barely any human necessities? Youre quick to link a wiki article about what Japanese government did during a time of war (Ill skip linking all the terrible atrocities that the USA has committed during wartime) but have you looked up how absolutely barbaric we treated people who were 100% loyal to our country and government?

I really enjoy your hard times series. I am Hispanic by heritage and generally was brought up not having a lot of money. Some of the things my family did to get by was fideo loco, which was vermicelli cooked in a tomato based sauce and depending if you could afford protein sliced hot dogs or pinto beans in the mix. It's a very cheap recipe since one box values at 50 cents and can feed like 3-4 people depending on how much they eat.

It was basically just clear chicken broth (they lived on a ranch so they always had lots of chickens), Fideo noodles and cooked garbanzo beans. Sometimes she would add a few diced leftover potatoe's but it was very simple, cheap but hearty soup. Still my dad's favorite.

When you're poor and on food stamps you feed your children what is cheapest. This dinner right here was served in my house often. Sometimes hotdogs were substituted with hamburger or chorizo. Crispy dogs were served often. That is a hot dog and a half piece of cheese wrapped in a corn tortilla, secured with a toothpick and fried until crispy. Another quick easy food was a flour tortilla smeared with peanut butter with a piece of cheese on top of the peanut butter and ketchup on top of the cheese, wrapped around a hotdog and microwaved for a minute. We ate a lot of cheap ramen. Sometimes dry with the seasoning sprinkled on. My dad made us a dish called "shit on a shingle" when we were kids. I carried it down to my kids. Gravy and hamburger on toast. It was hot and filling. He made Johnny Marzetti. I don't know where it came from. It was basically pasta, tomato sauce, hamburger and spices. My dad was born in '46 to parents who were dirt poor with 5 mouths to feed. He was raised around the Columbus, Ohio area close to Darby Creek. Maybe someone else knows the origin?

Irvin Martinez Reading books not only improves your spelling and grammar, it also teaches context. Reading what I wrote you should be able to derive past tense language. When my "children" were little we ate what we could afford and make food stamps last all month long. You got the shaft, apparently, from your schooling, you cannot distinguish tense from someone's comment. My children are grown and in their own homes today. I, myself, am no longer on food stamps, I no longer eat meat or dairy. Your inability to grasp language, spelling or Grammer bleeds into manners and etiquette. You don't have either. Firstly, when I rolled over this morning and opened my eyes, I didn't see you. That means your opinion means you don't know me from fuck all. Yet, you took it upon yourself to assume much with very little brain matter working for you. Be kinder to people or shut your cock gobbler.

I’m not sure if this was a thing, or just something my grandpa made up, but have you heard of rivelettes? He was an adult during the Great Depression, and rivelettes was a way of extending food. It made a serving of 4 a serving of 8. It’s a noodle, kind of. I’ve had it in tomato soup, and also chicken stock with cream of chicken. But it can be used in other ways, like potato dishes and casseroles. Have whatever you’re putting this in hot and ready to go. The recipe is 1 cup flour (this can be more or less, depending how much you want to make 3-4 tablespoons of water A pinch or 2 of salt. Slowly add the water to the salt and flour til a crumbly dough is formed. Now, that dough that’s stuck to your hands....rub your hands together over whatever your putting them in. The noodle balls that fall off, those are rivelettes. Just keep loading your hands, and rubbing the rivelettes into the pot! My favorite way to eat them is the chicken stock and cream of chicken soup.

obama separated families. No law abiding families have been separated.

They choose to break up their families twice. First breaking the law and not following it. second by refusing to admit guilt to what they obviously did. Read a book lol

It’s so sad that these camps existed. In hard times in Sweden, people would make bread with flour that was mixed with ground-up tree bark. It was barely edible but it was something to chew and it filled your belly. In a famine in Northern Sweden, things got so bad that people had to eat moss and they’d boil their leather belts and slice it up thinly and fry it so it vaguely resembled meat. They’d also eat rawhide. The moss and lichen was dangerous because it wasn’t very filling and if you ate too much you could become sick.

Great recipe Emmy! I am Japanese American from Hawaii and though my immediate family wasn't interned during WWII, I had many relatives interned in places like Amache and Tule Lake. I didn't know much about it until I started studying about it in college. I then learned of many relatives that were interned and had the privilege of interviewing a woman who was interned in Rohwer. She was young girl when it happened but when I interviewed her, she was already in her 60s. She remembered everything including the long train ride across the southwest U.S. and men with bayonets watching them. My aunt who was interned in Amache remembered her mom, who was pregnant at the time, carrying heavy suitcases into camp. She also told me how much she despised the desert. Thanks again for sharing!

By the way, this video reminds me of how Koreans made their own recipe using ingredients provided by Americans during/after the Korean war. It's called 부대찌개 (boo-dae-jjee-geh). I think it's a perfect recipe for you to explore for your Hard Times series. Maangchi's Recipe 1. Put cabbage, onion, green onion, pork, and mushrooms, on the bottom of the pot. 2. Add kimchi, and seasoning paste over the top. 3. Add spam, hot dogs, rice cake, tofu, baked beans, and cheese. 4. Add ramyeon and sweet potato starch noodles. 5. Put radish sprouts on top and add 3 cups of stock

I am not of the heritage, that I am aware of at least. but honestly. the level of respect that you approached this with and the fact that you didn't shy away from the truth of it all. I could feel my heart breaking for all of those who suffered through this event. This also is a humble reminder that it's not just what you're born into that "makes" you. it's what you go through and what you grow through.

Many, many years ago I lived in La Mesa, CA. My boyfriend was a Marine based there. Our neighbor was a nice Japanese gal. We became friends. Her parents went through the internment camps during WWII. They lost everything. My neighbor and I talked and she shared many Japanese recipes with me. One of them was not so Japanese but it was the one you just did, Weenies Royale. That was not the name but the food was the same. Good memories of hard times.

I know that all Americans know is that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor but they also kidnapped young girls to use as sex slaves and performed live human experiment among other atrocities. And while internment camps are wrong I wish history classes taught the whole story because in the us, Japan is made out to be a victim when what they were doing in Korea and China made hitler seem like a saint

In the context of this particular video, you make it sound like Japanese Americans should be ashamed of themselves as an entire culture for what the Japanese did. As a Japanese American, I am not ashamed of what they did because I am Japanese. I am ashamed of what they did as a somewhat-decent human being in this world. It would be nice if Japan acknowledged the horrendous acts committed and issued a formal apology to Korea, China, Indonesia, the Philippines etc but those aren't American countries that Japanese Americans are responsible for apologizing to. It is nice that America acknowledges ONE of the things it has done to its own people, but what does that have to do with what another non-American country did to another non-American country? I refuse to believe you simply mean that all Japanese people, no matter their nationality, are the same.
