Doesn't anyone like keftedes?? I can eat a couple of dozen at a time. I like them with a lot of artisha, cumin (Izmir Kefte).

Ofcourse we do Kafenes, we are spoilt for choice. Theres nothing like Cypriot tastes. Hotels should do more to introduce the genuine flavours on their menus for the tourists. Yet on the other hand let them eat cake. We appreciate the genuine taste of Cyprus better than anybody else.

How about bogrulce and gabak, with a plate full of tuna with onion drenched in lemon juice, some home made chips and a few loafs of village bread.

That is THE ONE! Specially in the summer. I ate that more than anything while I was out there...

Either that or Karpuz with hellim.

Can anybody explain what are those dishes contain...to see if we have them with different name...can not recognize the name!

Bogrulce = Black-eyed beans (green with this dish)
Kabak = the white 'cougette' (small marrow) of Cyprus

In summer these are boiled and olive oil and lemon juice is added. My grandfathers' fav.

The Kabak used is usually 'Bal Kabagi'. Honey marrow. This is one veg that I have forgotten the greek name of. Shame on me.

Hi Halil, hanks for the info. My late father was a chef at the Cafe Royale in Regent Street London for many years. Before that he was cheff in one of the oldest Turkish Restaurants, so I did have a good teacher. My wife also is a good student of cooking and she cooks most of the above, but I must admit when cooked in Cyprus with Cypriot vegetables they taste better.
Thanks again, selamlar
