Beware of the renga… Image


When Makarios was signing the infamous London/Zurich agreements, he was playing with a leftover bit of renga stuck in his teeth from the previous evening’s dinner…

When Ecevit ordered the attack on Cyprus in July 1974, it is rumored that he had gorged himself with renges earlier in the day...

When Matsakis took down a Turkish flag from the green line it’s a well known fact he had renges earlier for lunch...

When Denktash opened the gateways to hell, otherwise known as the “TRNC”, it is said that he had a renga for breakfast…

When Miltiades was born the well-meaning midwife stuck a renga in the baby’s mouth; a superstitious practice against the “bad eye” popular in the Paphos region in the old days with devastating consequences second only to thalidomide …


:shock: So as you can see from all the CREDIBLE EVIDENCE provided, the consumption of renga is associated with bizarre behavior, insanity, unpredictable events, and catastrophe, so it's no surprise that your renga exploded in the oven and had the renga's self detonation been delayed by a few more minutes, it might have even exploded in your stomach spraying the walls of your house with tiny bits of Oracle, Phoenix, and Bomboulina… :(

And the moral of this story is... if you MUST eat a renga please speak to your psychiatrist first. Image

Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure my dad grills them. Never seen him put them in the oven. The stench is the same though. I have a fantastic smiley for hitting someone with a renga, but no idea how to upload it here :(

This is where you separate the CYPRIOTS with capitals from the cypriots.

Renga is placed in a frying pan. Zivania is then poured over it followed by lighting a BIC lighter to flambe the bloody thing.

The result is a crunchy, salty, zivana tasting masterpiece.

The Forestry Department were practicing their emergency procedure with Helicopters carrying sea-buckets earlier ... So maybe I can safely have a go with DT's Fire Hazard Fry-Up despite the parched Paphos Forest being so close by .... 8)

Yeah I range from being vegan, to usually vegetarian to sometimes eating fish when my Iron levels are so low people start begging me to calm down .... (I get restless leg syndrome with it :lol: ) ... and I have been known to eat a chicken or a Turkey when really feeling bloodthirsty :evil:

(But I never touch mammals, so you're probably safe .... :wink: )
