A game children used to play, especially when major holidays, such as Independence Day, arrived. They made their own meals outside the village or on a playground or almost wherever they wanted and used miniature copies of the utensils of grown-ups. Today, this culture has almost disappeared from the cultural daily life of children due to the resurgence of more "modern" games.”, this decline can also be interpreted by the lack of means for parents to buy the ingredients useful for the culinary preparation of these little kids.
The goal of this game was to learn to do like the grown-ups, to be independent and above all to do as you want. You can cook and prepare the meal you want. I remember those happy days when we asked the mother that we wanted this or that for the "tsikonina" and when the day came, she had prepared all the ingredients for us or else the height of this independence was that we do our shopping ourselves. We went to the butcher to get a few hundred grams of meat. Afterwards we went to the market gardener for a few feet of vegetables or peas and that was it.
We still had to cook all this, scrupulously respecting the preparation procedure. It was absolutely necessary to do like mom. And what a joy to be able to share our meal with the parents. Just a spoonful per person. Ah! the good times.
