Kalo Pasha and go easy with the flaounes and avgolemoni...

Epises to you boomerang and a very Happy Easter to all who are celebrating this weekend.

Flaounes - is that the multi-cheese bread - love it, but try not to have too much
Not sure what avgolemoni is though -please explain. Many thanks

Thanks Bubbles...

The avgolemoni is the traditional soup we have straight after the church at midnight...Its made out of egg white, lemon juice and rice...With fresh made stock made on the day...Its excellent, and I suggest you try it out some time...

Avgo = egg
Lemoni = lemon

Hey Boomers, its not the egg white, but the yoke that is used.

The white is seperated and the lemon is mixxed in with the yoke and then stirred into the rice / stock on a lower heat so it doesn't curdle.

Well, I guess the chefs of this board are going to correct me, here goes.

Kalo Pasxa to all and eat well. My Grandfather used to have a saying, and it went like this " fage, tsai tsino tha sou mini" Loosely translated it say eat as that all you will take with you. And it is so true.

If you say so m8...I was sort of guessing...i knew it had to do with eggs...

Just before serving, you have to whip the egg whites until stiff and then fold into the soup to make it creamy.

But shouldn't it be Kokoretsi for after Church Service (Anastasi) tomorrow night?

.... or is that Greek only?

[purdey]

Enjoy the holiday all, you included Phoenix...

[bill cobbett]

Apologies in advance for what some might see as a sexist thread but all this talk about "flaounes" reminds me that many of the men of the forum will soon be being asked to take on the heaviest duty of being a Cypriot male by passing judgement on their wife's, mother's, mother-in-law's flaounes. It's that time again when we have to think about being kind and diplomatic or (God forbid) we tell the truth.

It is the egg white just as Oracle explained, but if you throw in a yolk or two, they give it a richer flavor.

Doesn't anyone eat mageritsa after Anastasi?

Kalo Pascha se oulous.

Is that the spinach and liver soup? ... I thought it was called Kokoretsi ... but come to think of it .... is that the fried liver stuff?... Oh now I feel queasy

[boomerang]

Ok people...hristos anesty...I already had my avgolemoni,...and it tasted great...

Goes with out saying with a lot of zivania...

Gnight people...

[Paphitis]

Hristos Anesti to everyone on the forum.

Likewise, the avgolemoni was wonderful and now kicking back with another authentic Cypriot Zivania. I think I might have a headache tomorrow.

[Oracle]

Alithos Anesti (methinks ) ........ to all those East of the centre of the Universe (Cyprus) where Jesus rises first, his miracles to perform.

He has not risen here yet ... still waiting
