Lena, sorry for the late response, just got home from work. I might have heard some old folks also calling it Ichli Kefte but not sure. I really want to learn to cook all these dishes as I think they are on the 'endangered foods' list. :)


That namw can have two meanings: ! the kofte with 'something' inside

or lataral thinking the kofte with a 'heart'. 1st is more correct. The second is my imagination. hat food is still driving me nuts.

OK , thank you, that will be a great help. A picture is worth a thousand words, especially when dealing with local sales staff.

Kafenes
Andreas, I believe you will be visiting my neighbourhood soon. If you let me know before you arrive I will make for you the best lekhmajunes you have ever tasted.

BTW there is a place in Larnaca which specializes in koupes and lekhmajunes. It is called Maklavs and it's on Thessaloniki street in the suburb of Drosia. Preety good but not as good as mine.


Kafenes, thank you so much, that is a lovely offer and I will take you upon it. I will be showing a Canadian friend who lives in London teaching Arheology/ Anthropoly at the University College of London around Paphos sometime betwween 17-23 October. It will be good for him to experience the friendship and hospitality of Cyprus.

However what I would appreciate more is for you to tae us to Instinjio, I would like to visit Bir's birth place. If it is convenient for you and your family.

cheers
Andreas

With great pleasure. Hopefuly time allowing, we can spend a whole day together. I was planning to take the 19th and 20th off from work to go for a couple of days for rest and a little fishing at a village called Kato Pyrgos but will have the other days available.

Now look here Kafene, just because you’re too big and I can’t beat the crap out of you doesn’t mean that you can post pictures of all these delicious spicy Armenian morsels and make me drool! God I'm so hungry again... :( :cry:

I will sit down over the next couple of days and work out the itenary and get back with the dates, so are you saying that 19/ 20 not good for you? or they are more suitable.

by the way any hiden archelogical sites that are off the beaten track would be appreciate my friend would love it. with soe instruction how to find them will be great.
