Interview with our Grandparents About Their Childhood Eating Habits
Start
Me: Grandma, what did you eat most often when you were children?
Grandma: Back in our days, food was simple but very tasty. We often ate vegetable soup, polenta with cheese and sour cream, potato stew, or beans. And let’s not forget the homemade bread, baked in the oven. It tasted much better than the store-bought bread today.
Me: Were the ingredients you used different from those we have today?
Grandma: Yes, many of them were natural and homemade. The milk came straight from our cow, the eggs were from our own chickens, and the meat came from the animals we raised. Nowadays, many products are full of preservatives and don’t taste the same.
Me: Do you think the food back then was healthier?
Grandma: Absolutely! We didn’t have fast food, sodas, or so many store-bought sweets. Everything was homemade, with natural ingredients.
Me: Did you have a special dish that you made for the holidays?
Grandma: Yes! For Christmas, we used to bake walnut and cinnamon-filled cozonac (sweet bread), and for New Year’s Eve, we always had sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls) and piftie (meat jelly). These recipes have been passed down in our family.
Me: Can you share a traditional recipe that I can try?
Grandma: Of course! I’ll tell you how to make apple pie, just like my mother used to.
"Scutecele lui Iisus" or"Jesus' Diapers" is a Romanian Christmas dessert made of fried dough sheets soaked in sweet milk, layered with walnuts, and dusted with powdered sugar. The name symbolizes the swaddling clothes of baby Jesus.
