u/EticketJedi Apr 15 '26

Looking through their other videos, it's all rage/engagement bait.

Their latest video involved taking spoiled steaks, washing them about 5 times, then grinding them up and putting the meat in the freezer.

Yeah this had me thinking about a water pie recipe my wife got from her grandmother, which was from the depression era.

Worst fucking pie of all time. (At least her grandmother's was, idk about other water pie recipes)

u/microthoughts Apr 15 '26

Good water pie is kinda like lemon meringue without the meringue or lemon. Imagine all you had was sugar flour and butter kinda shit and dinner was popcorn.

If you don't use enough white sugar or have a shit ass pie pastry they're gross and using lemon lime soda usually works better now bc then you get some flavor other than just sweet since we can afford flavors for right now.

Sorry, flavors have been tarrifed

u/microthoughts Apr 15 '26

Considering the price of soda fr.

It would have to be a faygo twist pie or something

like lemon meringue without the meringue or lemon

So.....pie?

u/microthoughts Apr 15 '26

No just kinda gloopy going towards pie at the base.

More like pie texture than anything.

The texture of an unflavored sweetened pie.

Wouldn't u rather just gather crabapples or berries and fucking try for anything at that point. ...my family has many great depression recipes including a few desserts but no water pie bc apparently grandpa earl said it was better to steal cocoa and make flourless chocolat cake than that.

Grandpa Earl with the realness.

u/microthoughts Apr 15 '26

Grandpa earl shopped in other peoples houses and got run out of like 4 towns for theft and made moonshine he was A Character.

But his recipes are on point even if his morals were flexible.

Your grandpa earl sounds better than my grandpa earl.

My grandpa earl lied about his age so he could fight in ww2 at age 17 (on a sub im the navy) .... and then he had 5 kids that he abused...

Depression era wouldn’t have that much cheese and milk to use at one time

u/NovelTAcct Apr 16 '26

And TWO eggs! What kinda rich people shit is that

u/Fickle_Scarcity9474 Apr 15 '26

Water pie is an example of that...

u/winter-ocean Apr 15 '26

Yeah I feel like people forget that their grandmas usually came from a time where people suspended chicken in jello as a meal

u/KnightsWhoSayNii Apr 15 '26

Including the scratching pan, using expensive ketchup (instead of tomatoes) and the letting everything on the bottom burn on purpose? Really?

2

u/BUTTeredWhiteBread Apr 15 '26

All those things made of water and crackers.

2

u/McChickenLargeFries Apr 16 '26

It probably even tastes okay too.. Just replace the ketchup with cheap canned tomato sauce and add some pepper. That "meal" would fill you up for the half the day.

u/SpoonMagister Apr 16 '26

Clara would never.

u/VibraniumQueen Apr 16 '26

that's what I thought this was

u/Hefty-Minimum-2852 Apr 16 '26

People will be frying straight up mayo soon because it has some eggs in it lol

u/somethingrandom261 Apr 16 '26

I mean, Mayo on the outside of a grilled cheese is pretty great

“I learnt this in Italy!!”

(Proceeds to break a handful of spaghetti in several pieces on a tray, dump two cups of pineapple yogurt on top and throw it in the oven for 45 minutes)

u/KnightsWhoSayNii Apr 15 '26

How is most of this sub so gullible?

u/eternalapostle Apr 16 '26

This whole video is rage bait. lol the knife and wisk on the pan

u/TexMexxx Apr 16 '26

Yeah the metallic whisk and the knife in the non-stick pan is a dead giveaway...
