Santa Barbara County, USA here. Portuguese girl born in LIsboa, living in the wild west. :) I miss Portugal. Living off the land in peace and quiet and not worrying about the shootings. When I was a girl, we were poor, and for a while we lived in a rural area called Torres Vedras. My mom only made 2 meals a day, and my sisters and I made our own breakfast, sandwiches and chocolate milk. As a teenager, I would be so hungry, but there was not much else to eat throughout the day. So I'd go roaming around my neighbors' yards and climbing up the fruit trees and eat fruit sitting on the branches, until I felt like my belly would explode. lol Peaches, apricots, figs, oranges, lots of grapes of all kinds, pine nuts, etc. Whatever was in season and available. We would sometimes go into a corn field and eat the little baby corns right there in the middle of it, between the stalks, we'd hide there and make a little bonfire to roast it. We would get into so much trouble if we got caught. Some neighbors were so welcoming and would even send me home with a bag of extra fruits, but once in a while one of them was mean and would chase us off the yard. :) The important thing is, we didn't go hungry. A lot of people were poor, but they shared what they had. I am still like that. I really like your serene videos. Enjoy Portugal. 💚💛❤
Yes, I remember that too. The rural village life, the amazing fruit trees, but also the poverty. My grandmother was a poor peasant, Pagan woman (she pretended to be Catholic)who couldn’t read or write. She lived in a tiny house, no electricity, gas or running water. She got her water from a “fonte” in a big container, which she would then carry home on her head. She was a tough woman, but loved animals. I was fortunate enough to live with her for about 3 years of my life, and she was my teacher, I learned so much from her. I too lived in the US for many, many years (all over, including Hawaii) and I know what you mean about the feeling of ever-present danger over there. The strange lack of security. The brutal laws etc. In Portugal you just don’t feel that way. 🥰
HELLO. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS WITHOUT CHEMICALS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE! OLIVE TREES ARE CALLED GREEN GOLD! SUCH IS THE PRICE, OTHER PRODUCTS WITH HIGH PRICES ARE; NUT, CHESTNUT, ALMOND, CHERRY AND KIWI. HUGS
Yes, it's sad isn't it that food in its natural state (like our parents or grandparents time) has become out of so many people's reach. BUT, if you have land or can rent a small piece, you can make time each week to grow a few vegetables at least. What most people don't know too, is that there are many wild plants that are edible and highly nutritious, and certain greens are easy to find and use for soups etc. But, you have to learn which ones are safe to eat etc. In the UK, USA and Germany you can buy produce, cheese, fruit etc direct from farm shops, which saves money. I'm not sure about Portugal unless you know someone. I believe if you search online you can find lists of organic (bio) growers in your area that you might be able to buy directly from... 😊
