Oy, shut it.

Of course Greek Cypriots eat molokhiya. As do Syrians, Palestinians, Iraqis and Brits (among others) living in Cyprus. And if the recession continues, more and more people will take advantage of a vegetable that grows plentifully on any patch of waste ground!

Thank you for confirming that.

The opinion expressed in footnote 10 to the Introduction of Part Four of "Imagining the Modern - The Cultures of Nationalism in Cyprus" by Rebecca Bryant is wrong then:

Molohiya is a long-stemmed plant with medium-sized, green leaves that grows in fields in Cyprus and is a distinctive part of Turkish Cypriot cuisine, as it is part of the cuisine of some other parts of the eastern Mediterranean, such as in Egypt (though not, interestingly, in Turkey).Turkish Cypriots highly prize molohiya, in either fresh or dried form, as a leaf with which to make flavourful stews. Picking the leaves is labor intensive, and women often pick them in groups. Many families also keep a supply of dried molohiya leaves for use in winter. Greek Cypriots do not, to my knowledge, use molohiya at all, and I have not yet found a Greek Cypriot who knows of its existence.

I must say that I never see these leaves for sale in the Limassol Municipal Market.

Who are mixing with Turkish Cypriots are learning the Molohiya and enjoying it . Also we are exporting fresh or dried molohiya to UK . It can be very easily find in Cypriot shops.

Who ever comes to Cyprus must try Molohiya and Seftali kebab .... If u didn't try ....still u didn't discover the Cyprus.

Molohiya

Not missed the Seftali Kebab.

One should not forget the simple, humble but nevertheless excellent traditional bean/pulse dishes which are known collectively as 'ospria' in Greek and which, sadly, most tourists to the island never experience.
