Roasted Red Pepper Sandwiches – Great Depression Food – Depression Era Recipe



Yesterday was my father’s birthday. He was born in 1918 and would have been 107 years old. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us, but I thought I would show you how to make one of his favorite sandwiches – Roasted Red Pepper Sandwiches. He grew up eating these during The Great Depression since they are cheap and filling. My parents used to eat these often during the summer when peppers were in season. They make a nice light meal when it’s too hot to cook.

  4. Grandma and Grandpa!! Yummy sangwich how you doin! We always had that with eggs. On a good roll! ❤🥬🌶️🥖

  5. Yum! Just the way my Dad made them as well. I just roasted some peppers that were in my fridge too long, and I have some day old rolls to use up! Great lunch!🥖 🌶️ 🫑 ❤

  6. Thank you for the great video! Both my parents were born in 1918 as well and they are both gone now too.
    Love the two ways to make this sandwich! I’ll be trying these since it’s too hot to cook! 😊

  7. I want a sandwich Italiano soooo much!!! Wow, Grandma you made my mouth water. I just added what I need to make both of them to my grocery list. What a perfect song you chose, I love it!!!!!! Thank you SO much for these recipes. You and Grandpa are wonderful and I appreciate you very much!

  8. Happy Heavenly Birthday Great Grandpa!❤ These look delicious. I'm going to make these for my lunch tomorrow. Love to Grandma and Grandpa ❤

  9. Looks delicious on that good New York bread. I love roasted peppers. Hope you're staying cool!❤❤❤

  10. Happy Birthday smiles for your Dad. My Dad would have been 110! Remembering certain things that they liked are smile makers. Anywho…I luv veggies, so…a sandwich with veggies is very satisfying to me❤. TY for a great idea for my next lunch😊.

  11. What a nice tribute to your father.❤ Both of these look delicious and perfect for summer! I’m definitely getting a jar of roasted red peppers and fresh mozzarella the next time I do my food shopping. Thank you for sharing these!❤

  12. Happy heavenly birthday to your Poppa! Thank you for sharing this meal with us. I'll be making this for my husband and me this week. ❤

  13. Idea for a future video…what "gadgets" are in your kitchen drawer? I love finding kitchen tools at estate sales but I don't know how to use all of them!

  14. Ooooo Grandma that looks so refreshing and tasty! Thank you for the recipe! I never knew about this type of sandwich

  15. Sandwiches look delicious. But can I suggest to keep your kitchen cooler in this heat , using a toaster oven would be great for toasting the rolls when you only have one or two. Are you Italian or polish background? . I know you have made both perogees and eat herring. Just wondering?

  16. You and the Grandma Feral Orchestra did a fantastic job on this video!👏🏻 I’m going to remember about this sandwich next month when I roast Hatch chili peppers outside over a charcoal fire.

  17. What a lovely summertime lunch! So happy whenever you put up a new video. Our garden is bursting with green, red, yellow and purple sweet peppers. My husband has several friends here whose parents immigrated to Ontario in the late 1800s. They will love this. They are all getting close to ninety. We kind of adopted them because our grandparents are gone now. My paternal grandmother was born July 22, 1913. My garden looks so much like her big kitchen garden on their lovely farm. Take care.

  18. Happy birthday great grandpa. 2 very nice sandwiches grandma. Salad sandwiches are a perfect lunch in summer. Hope you're well
