Meet Kemal, in person!

He heralds from the fair city of Paphos. When he was 16 his parents decided to send him to England and of he went on a boat, as this was the way most people travelled at the time (early 60's). At Pirieus, Greece, the boat broke down and the passengers were let loose for 5-6 days. Kemal thought he had arrived in the UK. "These english guys are so clever, he was heard whispering, they speak greek farsi (fluently)"

Ahir is best translated into "ahouri" in Greek. Thus, it is something more than just a stable. We have had makarounia and poulli many times at bizim ahir. They are made cypriot style by Kemal's woman (wife?). They are the best you can get. At the height of the hunting season (even at its low) Kemal prepares a hare for us, the traditional way. Its finger licking great!

Bananiot,
thanks for the Kemal Demirkıran photo.
i know the man since my childhood's was a manav(vegetable seller).he was coming our village with his van.he was always drinking in our village(FOTTA).The place called Kasap Gara Ali. Ask him he will remember.
When we meet him tel him '' EKMEK YEMEM'' ( İ don't bread )

At home i got 3 grouse (KEKLİK) do u think , if i bring them with me , his wife can make the makarounia with keklik and poulli together. she must boiled kekliks than we can drink the keklik water by squeezed lemon.

I wish Kemal and his "ahouri"a very long life...Till some of us unfortunates can make it to Cyprus...Enjoy!

Trust Halil to confuse a partridge (perditzin) with a grouse!
