That is ok, we actually had a lovely ice-cream yesterday in Nicosia. We both had double scoops (It was HOT people ok!) Whilst Webbo had lemon and whatever, I had lemon and blackcherry. Gorgeous! The Greek work for blackcherry was a new word for me and I thought I had memorised it, alas, in the heat of the midday sun, my memory failed! Anyone help please? I cannot find it in my dictionary anyway!
Sure it started something like mau.....................!

How about "vatomouro"? ...although that means blackberry!

Regards, Annaka.
Yes he is right, but that's Cypriot dialect.

Thanks K and annaka for your input but that was not the word. I thought it started with mau (stem for mavros?) and was only 5, maybe 6 letters long!
If anyone is walking along Ledras Street today; could you kindly go for an ice-cream at the kiosk (that has the statue of a mouflon) next to Debenhams and have a look................................PLEASE?

I know what moura is but as far as I know it's not black cherry .
The closest I can get to black cherry is mavra karzsi ( excuse spelling )
