That would be. Great idea

Another vote for cheese grandpas

Cheese Pappies

It would take so looooooooong! Maybe my grandchildren could see the end of that serie...

Yessssss

You must have some very special memories. best wishes, Vicky

That is his son helping him. Consider it passed on!

He just showed you. Ricotta is not hard. Go get some raw goat milk (pasteurized and homogenized won't always come together right as it is changed).

@@rachel4483 that's goes also for home made yogurt

Yes please!!!!!!

Yes!! ♥️

A balm for the soul isn't it?

hi Greg, it's our absolute pleasure and privilege and it's great when viewers appreciate it 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky

It looks like we are about to go back into lockdown, but hope I have enough to keep me going 😊 best wishes, Vicky

@Richard Bartram, you're right. This gentleman is speaking a mix of Sicilian and Italian (spoken in a heavy Sicilian accent). Most people don't realize that the majority of Sicilians speak two languages, Sicilian (in the version of their local dialect) and Italian (often influenced by their Sicilian). When we speak SICILIANU STRHITTU our dialect changes from town to town, and in the larger towns, neighborhood to neighborhood. This includes our accent and the meaning of words. It's impossible to know the hundreds of dialects, but we almost always can identify each other as fellow Sicilians. Now the Arbereshe and Gallo-Italic are another story! 😂

@@jattupardu1860 my native language is Arabic and when we were in Sicily, I was amazed at how much of an imprint the Saracens left on the language and culture and you're right about Arbereshe. My former neighbor back in Austin is from an Arbereshe family that settled in New Orleans early in the 20th century so you can imagine what her wonderful way of speaking sounds like.

​@@MelvisVelour ​@UCqFegr5kCmJBhtUEQSjyKlw ​Interesting thoughts . My Mama is Neapolitan. One of my favourite words is Sparotrapo . Band aid sticky plaster etc. The story goes that when the the Evil Admiral Nelson and his I cant say the word on you tube I will say "fancy lady " Hamilton ( thats how they are remembered there) devastated the place they needed to bandage up their injured sailors . Spare drapes. Say it in an italian accent. That said Neapolitan has a tradition of poetry and literature. My family once lived in London next door to a family where the parents came from Alto Adige. Antonio ( God rest his soul ) his italian was shaky to say the least and he was not a German speaker either just a mountain bloke. He was the only one of the young men of his village who made it back from the Russian Front. He walked . He did not have many toes ( frost bite ) but he made it. I digress. I hope someone somewhere is recording, Italian Languages won't die out for another few generations maybe more I think .

@@richardb22 hi Richard, actually there are people doing phd's into Italian dialects, so they will be recorded. best wishes, Vicky

hi Richard, yes, he was impossible for me to understand and I had to get someone from Sicily to help with the subtitles 😊 best wishes, Vicky

that's good to hear 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky

yes! I have a small cooking channel. If you can support me by subscribing to the channel. 🙏🙏

hi Steve, food cooked from scratch is always good 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky

@@pastagrannies Ms. Vicky, that is the truth, you just can't beat homemade food on about 95 % of all recipes.

My pleasure Lorenzo 😊🌺

@Marilyn It's illegal because unpastuerized milk can contain e coli, listeria, and many other harmful pathogens. There's a reason.

@@sharinganeye9755 Parmigiano Reggiano is made with raw milk. And we Italians don't die.

@@sharinganeye9755 In many cultures, though, people know how to pasteurize milk themselves. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Central Asia and in my village, people did their own pasteurizing because nearly everyone had cows and such. It's strange to think but true -- how often do we get sick in the US because of food recalls of industrial-farm raised products? The law was designed to protect us, but sometimes it is sheer accident and sometimes companies lobby for weakened oversight and watered-down regulations, so we are not as immune as we think sorry to say from the dangers of harmful pathogens

@@sharinganeye9755 I guess we're the only country that has e-coli.

@@mauriziocosta8416 My point exactly!!! Thank you!!!

My grandparents, whose parents came from Sciacca, had a wooden sculpture of this type of goat. I never understood why until I saw this video where that came from. I just thought they liked the carving. There is so much cultural information in each of these videos -- just love this series so much. Apparently, la Girgentana is in danger of extinction

They are Jack Russell Terriers with hooves. When I had goats, they were into everything. One day they ate my laundry off the clothes-line. Boy was I mad.

@@justme8108 Haha, I can just imagine, you being mad and the goats just calmly giving you "that look". Living on the farm they were good companions as well as guard dogs. Could spend hours just watching them living their goaty lives.

@@Getpojke Yeah, they are characters. Now I have chickens, which, each too, has their own personality.

I'm glad you like the book! And Jack Russell terriers with hooves is a good description. Great Italian cooking relies so much on ingredients found in the local area I think it's important occasionally to showcase them. best wishes, Vicky

thank you 😊🌺

Stabby stabbers, just too funny, but true.

ciao Monica 👋🏻👋🏻

He speaks half Italian half Sicilian. I'm italian and I almost don't understand him😂

hi Trish, we're being thwarted by Covid at the moment; I had hoped to go in November. But it's on the list and we will get there eventually! best wishes, Vicky

The second one. Ricotta is not cheese. The cheese is obtained from casein that curds at a low temperature, ricotta from albumine that curds at 90 degrees centigrade.

Of course it's natural. It's a local specie of goat called "girgentana", which in fact means "from Agrigento"

Nature is amazing
