> Regarding what you said about families having "no" food for their > children, A friend of mine in her 50s who grew up on Terceira has been telling me about her life there as a child. Although she looks back on it rather fondly and still owns the family home there and visits when she can, her life was not like ours here in the US. I don't think they were particularly poor (compared to others), but there were five children in the family. She often took a bread and butter and sugar sandwich for lunch and that was it. For dinner, her mom would take two home raised eggs and scramble them with vegetables from the garden to feed the family of five kids and two adults! Also, since there were no boys in the family she was the one who worked out in the fields with her dad. I really enjoy talking to her and I have to ask her more questions.
