Famine cuisine, dude... My parents would tell me tales of eating nothing but potato and cabbage soup every day when they were kids in the 1940s, flavoured with just salt and garlic... There just wasn't anything to eat... Bread was a luxury, meat a rarity, mostly cured pork which was saved for high days... Dad's favourite thing is still a bit of fried tocino (cured pork fat) on a piece of broa (corn bread)... Too bad he can't eat that shit anymore...
Side note: I was astonished how similar Galician and Southern US cooking was when I first went out there... Greens, corn bread, fat back etc.
