Tomato bread pudding, recipe below
In 1933 the Federal National Relief Agency (NRA) chose Tyron, North Carolina for one of its surplus food distribution program area depots. Many survived the Depression on government relief rolls and jobs with the NRA. Singer and song writer Nina Simone’s father and other men in Tyron received NRA truck-driving jobs. “Not only did the men at the depot get given a little extra food to take home, but the drivers built up a network of people who would trade food among themselves,” Simone recalls. Families would trade what they raised in excess from their gardens and the surplus food they received on the job. Drivers traded leftover “collard greens, string beans, tomatoes and sometimes eggs” with drivers who had “more sugar or flour, say, than they needed.” When it came time to midterm elections, the Democratic Machine in North Carolina could depend on those who gained NRA jobs and relief to help get out the vote. These would serve as some of the most ardent advocate of democratic candidates running for the house and senate. Here a recipe I really like for tomato bread pudding:
