2. Prune Pudding
As you can imagine, desserts were not a priority during the Depression-era, as just getting enough food to survive often proved to be a difficult task.

Prune pudding consists of boiled prunes, sugar, and cornstarch. It was served in the White House as an act of solidarity with “the people who are suffering” in the streets.
