  • It's called hamburger pie.

  • Hamburger pie.

  • Yeah.

  • So this is kind of a dessert in those days.

  • Well, to be honest we didn't have much dessert in those days.

  • This was a main course and dessert.

  • (upbeat music)

  • Hi.

  • Hi.

  • Who are you two?

  • I am Clara and this is my grandfather Ernie.

  • I'm GG's grandmother, she calls me Mimi.

  • This is my grandfather Preston.

  • Grandfather, thank you.

  • GG, what are you doing here with your grandma?

  • Hm, let's take a guess.

  • We're gonna do homework.

  • No!

  • I'm here because Clara wanted me to bring something that my mother, Kay, had made for me when I was a little guy that I liked and I remember.

  • What foods did you like to eat when you were my age?

  • When I was your age I ate whatever my mama gave me.

  • You wouldn't believe it.

  • We ate squirrels.

  • What?

  • Squirrels, my dad would shoot a squirrel, bring it home, fry it up, and we would have squirrel.

  • What?

  • Did you bring squirrel?

  • No.

  • What did you bring?

  • Well it has meat in it.

  • Should we bring it out?

  • Yes.

  • Clara, open your eyes.

  • What's that?

  • That is a good old fashioned Bisquick biscuit.

  • Wow.

  • It's probably stuck.

  • What is it?

  • I don't know.

  • Bread, biscuits and gravy!

  • How about a dumpling?

  • Open your eyes, Cavalli.

  • What do you call it?

  • This is a bruncholoney sandwich.

  • Bunch?

  • Bruch.

  • Bruncholoney.

  • Yeah, because you know, we'd have breakfast, which would usually be cereal, and then before we went out to play we'd take a little sandwich so we wouldn't have to come back for lunch.

  • So let's get to making this!

  • Do I get the tiny bowl or the big bowl?

  • Which?

  • I want the big bowl!

  • Of course you want the big bowl.

  • Come back here, chicken.

  • What is this stuff?

  • It's chicken and dumplings and when I was little, I used to read cookbooks and I read this recipe and I wanted to make it and my mom said, "Only if your dad's not home because he doesn't like his food mixed up."

  • So we made it one time when my dad was gone and I loved it.

  • Can I have more chicken please?

  • Now this is what I made for myself.

  • My mama didn't make this for me.

  • Then we just put it on there and you take it and you smash it down.

  • Put the top on there.

  • Then you mash it down.

  • When would you eat this?

  • Well actually this would be kind of a good meal, this would be like maybe a Sunday, fancy meal, like fancy Sunday dinner.

  • Did you have to dress up for Sunday dinner?

  • That's funny, we had to dress for Sunday dinner.

  • We didn't dress up.

  • Let's do this together, 3, 2, 1.

  • It's stuck in my teeth.

  • But is it good?

  • Yeah, do you think you were like me when you were a little kid?

  • I was probably a little more active than you because once we had breakfast, we got kicked out of the house.

  • Dang!

  • We'd go out, we'd play baseball.

  • We'd swim, we'd have rock fights.

  • Somebody got hit like that.

  • I got hit but I'd see them come, I'd duck.

  • I never got hit in the face, but yeah.

  • We'd have bb gun fights, one kid got his eye shot out.

  • Really?

  • Yeah, he didn't play with us no more.

  • What I recognize in you is that you're busy.

  • You're always doing something.

  • You're always moving, you're always active.

  • Yeah, you're like me in that way a lot and you know what it is?

  • What?

  • It's because you're a pretty bright little one.

  • You wanna learn how to make this?

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah, we'll do that maybe next Wednesday on your early release day, that sounds like a good project.

  • I found the last piece of chicken!

  • Thank you for bringing this delicious dish.

  • I will be eating the chicken.

  • Thanks pop pop for coming here.

  • Well thanks for inviting me.

  • Thank you for sharing this food with me.

  • You're welcome, wanna toast?

  • Happy holidays.

  • Bye!

  • Peace.
