Tag #125466 - Interview #78561 (Sofi Eshua Danon-Moshe)

Grandfather Nissim, who was a glazier, used to be a strong man who cared for a delicious meal. I’ll never forget his pickled vegetables; he used to personally put them in a tin. At Pesach, in the spring, he opened the tin for me and gave me tomatoes from there, but not green tomatoes, tomatoes that had just started to go red; pink ones. Those were my favorite pickles. My grandfather definitely had a special attitude towards food. In fact, I started eating regularly in Plovdiv because of those pickles, otherwise I was very choosy. My mother used all means possible to make me eat. She used to always give me high-calorie food so that I would grow up and gain more weight because I was rather small.
