Elderly Couple Shocked After Climbing Dangerous Mountain to Reach Currant Orchard
About this episode
Grandma and Grandpa cross dangerous mountain paths to reach a farm filled with giant ruby-red currants. They harvest the berries and return home to cook over firewood. Sim Village Cooking is a real-life cooking project from a mountain village. Here we cook with firewood, build our own tandoors and clay ovens, and use ingredients we grow ourselves. There is no electricity or gas — just fire, hands, and family. This is not a show or a staged video — this is how we really live. If you support our journey, like and subscribe. After a difficult journey through the mountains, Grandma and Grandpa discover long farm rows covered with unusually large clusters of transparent red currants. They carefully harvest the ripe currants and blackberries, carry the heavy baskets back across the mountain path, and prepare traditional homemade food. The fresh red currants are washed and cooked over firewood to make homemade currant jam and a natural currant drink. Grandma also bakes large sesame bread in a traditional clay oven and prepares a hearty village meal with chicken, fresh vegetables and homemade pickles. This video shows real mountain village life, traditional outdoor cooking, berry harvesting, food preservation and the difficult work behind every homemade meal.
