Danube Delta - Living off fishing and homegrown vegetables | What's cookin'

[@agrosyntrop]

they keep saying life is hard, but this is the most romantic life i have seen in a while. I bet the ones who go to the city still remember the full moon, the galloping horses, the boats, the reeds, and the singing grandmas.

[@aumshakti7]

What a very heartwarming documentary about subsistence living. Hardworking honest, salt of the earth people. Love it. Thank you.

[@grumblekin]

My great-grandmother canned and pickled vegetables for her entire life. Even after she got a fridge in the 1940s she never stopped canning. She also made apple butter and jams. I've never eaten anything better than fat meat and greens with her canned veggies, beans and plenty of southern porch brewed sweet tea. Good God, I wish i could go back 30 years.

[@BlueLineofthesky]

These people live there for thousands of years. The life is hard especially in the winter but the Danube is supporting them. Their life is directly connected with nature. They eat simple and delicious food but they must work hard to get it. It is amazing to see how they live but not many of us (city people), will be able to live there. Other than that I love this video and I have a good warm, peaceful feeling about it. And I feel the need to say, Thank You.

[@victoriagoje1004]

I live and I was born in Romania and I use to spend my time inside the house or thinking how it would be if I was born in America and sometimes I wish I was born in America or other countries ,and now I see that even Americans and other people wish they was born in Romania ,now I see and realize that my country is the most beautiful .Come to romania you wouldnt regret of you come here:)

[@rubenskiii]

I visited Romania, good place, honest people.

[@3olemrac]

This life style looks amazing on TV (phone might add) but living on a day-to-day basis I know is not easy. I grew up in a very a small village in Mexico where your breakfast, lunch and dinner came from the land you worked, my great grandfather raised me and thought me all i know about the land, he passed away when I was 17 (he was 106). Life is very generous, but sometimes it will remind you of how much we need God and nature's mercy just to be able to live another day!

[@robu6628]

100% agree with you. People from the coach/sofa they don't know about real life. :(

[@WorldOfSafari]

Don't bring god into the beauty of nature. What we make is our achievement, not some god's. Don't lower yourself by believeing that what you see can only be worthwhile, if a god made it.

[@RasPutintheGreat]

Very moving story and so true. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnmayer2236]

Beautiful words dear.

[@kiney0713]

Just watching this today, semi-quarantined at home - felt so simple, humble, honest with no signs of the self-induced stress we city folks have. I don't for one second believe it is NOT hard work in their farms/shops/rivers/lakes but they seem so self-assured and contended with their lifestyle. Thanks for this lovely documentary, much appreciated!

[@lubinoruby642]

I love when husbands like mine always express gratefulness for the meal served to them and in return, wives should thank them for working for the family. We should always be grateful because a simple “thank you” goes a long way

i'm from romania and i've spent my childhood in such a village, i miss my grandparents so much, its been years now since they past away and i miss going there, i miss my summer childhood summer vacations, nice doc brings up a lot of memories

[@vmgqie]

I was very close to my huge family when I went fishing I'd have catch lots to feed everyone but one by one everybody is gone now so I don't even go fishing anymore

[@amerbezdrob353]

Im from Bosnia and Montenegro.... My family grew up the same , that lady reminded me of my tough ol grand ma .. rip she would give me a hard time but would give the shirt off her back to keep me warm .

[@nancynahnigoh3550]

Awesome

[@georgianasutu5882]

I was a guest in their house. They are so hardworking and hospitable and treated us like part of the family. The cooking was delicious. Life in the Delta may look tranquil, but it is so difficult to be isolated all the time and live in poverty. They make the best out of everything.

[@ISPRI2011]

...the owner of 45 cows don't live in poverty...just hard work.

[@BlueRice]

hey, is there a way i can donate to their families?

[@Cheeku7777]

Georgiana Sutu do you have there address or contact kindly provide me

[@mrbondohrama]

@@BlueRice Nooooooooo, don't make them dependent. They are proud, independent, hard working people who like their lifestyle. If outside money comes in it will change everything for them. It was a nice thought though!

[@1zanglang]

Great documentation on a family in transition. The daughter already has one leg in the new world and the other one with grandparents and parents who live traditionally. Life continues whatever happens. Anyway, everything in nature has already given the best for Mitica and his family. May God bless him and his family and people in Danube Delta. wocomoCOOK thank you.

[@elimonjal]

Beautiful video, country life is great, no drugs, no crime, pollution, thousands of cars, etc. thank you

[@sandorlukacs5618]

Crime exists in Danube delta also.Poaching maffia on very high level.The local inhabitants barely can survive. What you see in this video is wery far from the reality.

[@user-li2ly8lh5v]

True

[@kebman]

@@sandorlukacs5618 Let me guess. The local fishermen are fiercly territorial, and if you want in on their business, you'll have to kill them. Literally. They'll visit you with a shot-gun if you mess about their waters. Yeah, I've done this myself where I come from, in North Norway. Local farmers take really good care of their cloudberries up there, but if they see a foreigner picking their berries, you can be sure it's shot-gun time, nevermind the laws. I mean, who are you going to run to? It's miles and miles from everything! I was with a friend down in the lakes in Sweden. They catch crayfish, which is also really valuable down there. The farmers are really territorial about the lake areas they own, and if they catch foreigners poaching, there's hell to pay. There has been attempts at poaching crayfish, mostly by Germans, for some reason, but when I asked the locals about it, they just laughed and told me that "The lake is deep"...

[@cliffcox7643]

[@johnvanegmond1812]

My Dad would often say, "Utilize your resources". These people do. Most of us can too. Learn one edible wild plant, one wild mushroom per year, and learn how to eat fish with bones. Here in SE Iowa, USA, if you can eat carp and dandelions, you'll never go hungry. That said, I am also thankful for my computer, running water and that I can buy butter at the grocery store. Peace.

[@tapsars7911]

So nice to see that you are so grateful . May God keep you in His grace .

Thats the thing with carp, they're found everywhere even up here in Canada

[@princessnyeni5548]

Dennis Ochenge unfortunately they may not know that, cos they have no understanding of the challenges of living on the grid since they have lived all their lives off the grid...it is human nature to want what we do not have, the grass is greener on the other side until we get there.....I guess there is pros and cons to everything...
