Millet soup like grandma's

Millet soup - lean or with chicken - is sometimes called grandmother's. Secret the name "grandmother's millet soup" may be incomprehensible to those whom grandmother did not regale with such a soup. Why then is the dish called that? The thing is that millet is one of the most cheap groats were often used during the Second World War, and even after, because the economy was destroyed, and there was literally not enough food. Various dishes were prepared from millet, including soups, the cost of which was literally approaching zero. This is one of the reasons, why is the soup called "grandmother's" - after all, it was just our grandmothers who prepared it or great-grandmothers.

There is also another explanation. Nowadays, only milk is prepared from millet porridge. For many, cereal is associated with feeding poultry, for example, chickens. Because millet belongs to the "retro style", dishes made from it are also often called grandmothers.Indeed, today the culinary fashion has practically eliminated millet from a list of regularly used products.
