hehehehe
just noticed the 'all stolen' bit
Cuba has introduced urban agriculture. Not able to earn much in the way of exports, hurt by oil price hike they have adapted.
Must say I think US isolating Cuba & not trading with it sucks big time. Shit, US has given most-favored-nation to Viet Nam and China, both countries that kicked US butt! So why not Cuba?

Re: Recession eating
My mother has a little cookbook: "Ik kan koken. . .Nu!" "I can cook. . .Now!"
To do with cooking in the dreadful 'hunger winter' of '44 when the krauts were stripping the country & sending the loot to the Fartherland. Mum survived on a big bag of brown beans & tullip bulbs (which tasted dreadful!)
Stuff like 'can't afford anymore to peel carrots & potatoes, scrub them with a stiff brush etc. Energy also expensive, so get veges boiling, then put pot in a 'haycooker' which keeps the water hot and the veges cooking: Mum told me she just put the pot in a bed and covered it up.
Thanks to left governments we now have unemployment benefits which also help to keep downturns shorter and the absolute grinding poverty shouldn't make a comeback. mightn't hurt to review ways you can save bulk money.

Re: Recession eating
Depression humor?
"Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the UK , uncertainty has now hit Japan.
"In the last seven days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
"Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.
"While Samurai Bank are soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank are reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
"Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal."
