    Hi guys thank you so much for all the love on this video 💗 I got a few comments in regards to the plastic plates/cups we used so I thought I'd write a general comment to explain 😊 When my family and I get together to visit my grandma (which only happens a few weeks in the summer) she uses plastic plates for cleaning up quicker and because she only has a few ceramic plates since she lives alone. My nonna is amazing but unfortunately a bit uneducated on the current environmental crisis so when I try bringing up the plastic usage I get dismissed quickly. I totally agree that there is no excuse to use so much plastic in current times and I am very aware of my environmental impact when I live by myself. But when I'm visiting other people's homes (like my nonna's) I tend to adapt to their way of doing things because I don't feel like I have a say since it's not my home. However I know I can do better than that, so next time I will visit my nonna I will buy her more ceramic plates and I'll take care of the washing ☺️

      Ti basterebbe comprare i piatti compostabili, sono simili a quelli di plastica ma ecologici. Così tua nonna non deve mettersi a lavare mille piatti, povera donna. E l'ambiente ringrazia🤗

      Ciao Rosi! Grazie per condividere questo bellissimo video, mi sono ricordata di quando ho vissuto in Italia! Volevo dire che sono passata per la stesa situazione con i piatti di plastica, quando ho abitato con i miei ex suoceri! Mia suocera trovava i piatti di plastica molto più facile da polire, soprattutto quando c’eravamo in tanti, e c’era pure la questione della mancanza dei piatti di ceramica. Dopo tantissime conversazione, l’abbiamo convinta di non utilizzarli più 🌸 ma alla fine, alcune volte le persone si dimenticano che la nostra generazione ha molta più informazione sul questi argomenti ambientali, e che tocca spiegare di forma gentile e essere compreensivo con le differenze di educazione che le altre generazioni hanno avuto. Un saluto dal Brasile!

    This reminds me of my grandma. My whole family is Dutch, so she’d make Dutch food all the time for my brother and I. Chicken noodle soup, stew and potatoes on cold winter days, Dutch pancakes with fruit and ice cream on summer days. It wasn’t anything like a professional chef, but it tasted so good just because Oma made it. My grandpa (Opa) and I loved to eat together! We’d always get Chinese take-out on his birthday. Oma would always buy a specific kind of soda and have it in stock for when I came over, no one else drank or even liked the soda, she had cans upon cans in the pantry just for me. She had strawberry flavored tea and my Oma, mom and I would always drink a cup together (3 generations of tea lovers). Gosh, I truly miss her a lot. Please enjoy your time with family very much, I would give anything to have my Oma and Opa back again.
    And whenever my brother and I slept over, she’d have cookies, hot chocolate and a blanket ready. We’d talk for hours because we didn’t want to go to sleep yet. Some of my fondest memories are at their old house💜

    There is something nostalgic in seeing a grandmother cook, even if it is different food than what you had growing up. My grandma is still alive at 84. I have never once been to a meal where she cooked pasta or used tomato sauce 🤣😂. A typical traditional meal my grandma would make could be fried rabbit, fried squirrel, fried quail or fried fish. She would fry that in lard in a cast iron skillet that it probably at least 100 years old. For sides we may have homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed carrots or creamed asparagus. Hot rolls or bread of some kind with butter. Finally usually a variety of fresh garden vegetables (usually tomatoes, green onions and definitely radishes).

      The Italian kitchen is all about flavor and simplicity. They use the best and most flavorful tomatoes and basil. Top it off with garlic, good Parmesan cheese and olive oil. I love Italy and I have really missed it even though we live only 40km from the Northern border. It will be the first thing we do once all the covid restrictions are gone.

    So heartwarming to see that everyone here is comparing her grandmother to theirs, despite writing from halfway across the world! This just shows how much we all love and appreciate our grandmothers and their cooking no matter where we come from! This reminded me of my own grandmother’s cooking too, here all the way from Mizoram, India. She never really measures anything and cooks whatever she feels like but everything she cooks still tastes magical for us all! ❤️ here’s to all the amazing grandmothers out there!

How lucky your are to have this wonderful part of your life with your grandma (I dip bread in wine too)...It's so tricky, I found myself wanting you to critque the food, compare to American food but realized the true value is that real life if around the dinner table. Sharing food, daily events and you captured this feeling so beautifully the look on your face when your nona cooked something you liked said it all. This is so down to earth I'm subscribing. It is what it is and you laid it out for us beautifully. Blessings to you and your family and thanks for inviting us in.

    I'm from Finland, and I loved this video! Our cuisine is generally very simple, and healthiness is usually prioritised, with taste often being slightly less of a concern. Having lived in France, though, the "belle vie" or "dolce vita" that you find in so many other European countries (and elsewhere, too) really resonates with me. I think food can bring so much happiness, warmth and pleasure into life.
