No it would sound like that then .... What do they call those sweet biscuits, made from almonds ... like macaroon, they give them out at Weddings and Christenings ....

Melomakarona/Μελομακάρονα ?/;

No ... that sounds like Melamokarvouna, the ones we have at Christmas / New Year ....

Please add those to my list too!

The almond macaroons with the missing name, have a silver sweet ball in the middle on the top .... and they are so delicious!

pastichio i think thats what there called.

Yeah ... that's what I thought!

I wonder if we are having Kypriaka to Greek mistranslation problem.

I think AlexISS' pastichio is the macaroni with mince which in Cyprus is called "Makaronia tou Fournou" ....

Bombes? What the hell is that?

[miltiades]

And don't I know it !! My favourite foods are the traditional ones such as Koutsia , fasolia , kolokasi , revithia and faggi , all accompanied by a glass or two of red !! Here in the UK is caviar all week , you do get fed up with it after a while though !!

All those are not fattening anyway, as opposed to souvla, sheftalia, halloumi and lountza ...

My favourites in Greeklish:
Loukoumia, Gourambedes, Pastitsia, Halva, Loukoumades.


And courtesy of AlexISS' translator:
Λουκούμια, Κουραμπιέδες, Παστίτσια, Χαλβά, Λουκουμάδες.
Loved all that when I was a kid , couldn't afford them now that I can , I'm diabetic these lihoudies are on the prohibitive list !!
My favourite one was KALO PRAMA !!!

Bombes? What the hell is that?

They are long, torpedo shaped cakes made from semolina, baked golden and soaked in syrup ....

I'm seriously going to have to stop talking about cakes now ...

OK, last one: Dhaktyla

[carleen]

yes when you go to a resturant they called the makoronia tou fournou pitstasio, its quite confusing really but i remember the cakes being called that as i really dont like them i prefer the ones coated in icing more of a buscuity texture.
