And yes, Tim, there are loads of Greek Cypriots I know who eat molokhiya - but why would anyone buy it in the market when it grows profusely on waste land/open land/ car parks/along the side of the road? Everyone picks it for free!
But the ways people use it (large leaves or just the top shoots) varies....
We make our own falafel by the way!
Good question. I see molohiya for sale in the municipal market in the northern part of Nicosia - so why?
I was quite good mates with the people who ran a restaurant chain in Doha, Qatar which the locals reckoned made good falafel. I never rated it highly myself. Local tastes differ.
