Grandpa Risked His Life to Harvest Pomegranates and Fish Carp in the Deadly Mountains

Experience a real autumn day in our remote mountain village of Sim. Grandfather climbs steep forest slopes, surrounded by waterfalls and yellow trees, to harvest 50 kg of wild pomegranates growing on the edge of a cliff. On the way back, he also collects persimmons and a fresh fig straight from the tree. Near a powerful waterfall, he stops at a small mountain lake and catches big wild carp using a basket-style net. One fish almost escapes, but he manages to bring home four large carp. Together with grandmother, they carry the heavy harvest down the narrow forest path. At home they cut the pomegranates, fill a wooden press, and grandmother presses the juice with her feet. Grandfather gathers the pure pomegranate juice into a 10-liter bottle, and grandmother cooks thick doshab syrup. They fry all the carp at once in a one-meter saj pan, pour hot pomegranate juice over the fish, and serve everything beautifully on long wooden trays with onions, pomegranate seeds, whole fruits, and persimmons. This is true mountain village cooking — simple, hard, beautiful, and real. #simvillage #simvillagecooking #cimvillagemountain #elderlycouple #elderlycouplecooking #food #cooking #village #villagelife #mountainvillage #chef #elderlychef #villagefood #pomegranate #waterfallfishing #carpcatching #autumnharvest #ruralcooking
