Tag #125473 - Interview #78561 (Sofi Eshua Danon-Moshe)

Apart from our Jewish relatives my mother used to have some Bulgarian friends as well. She liked to meet with them not only in our quarter. She invited them regularly to pickled vegetables, and salads. I recall that one of them was very puzzled when my mother advised her to put some grains of sugar in the green salad in order to suppress its somewhat sharp taste. As a matter of fact she recommended putting some sugar in all kinds of salads, they gave it a try and liked the result. She liked to communicate with some of our neighbors in the other quarters. I told you that the Jewish community was quite reticent, but she kept in touch with some Bulgarians. My mother’s cooking was very delicious and she used to do a lot of other things as well. She believed that I had to be like her in every respect but I wasn’t a very skillful follower.
