Our really special meal is on New Year's Day ... and my favourite is some sweet syrupy biscuits called Melanogarvouna ... "Black-coals" which are spongy and have chopped almonds. But only my mother can make them! :D

Oh, and her chocolaty-marble-cake type Vasilopitta is the best!

Avgolemoni soup goes down a treat too .........

Saturday I had a taste for Trahana soup. I drove to London and bought a packet of trahana - Cypriot of course. It was foul and we were both sick. Its taste was decidedly of 'carbolic soap'. This was the first time it has happened to us. My family always warned me not to buy from untried sources. They usually have it made to order, but failed to remember me. I think they have been reading the Cyprus Forum. :roll:

Christmas day we are invited to our good Cypriot friends house so no cooking for us and plenty of good food, But today we went to our Favourite butcher in Dherynia and got a nice piece of stuffed pork, stuffed with garlic, bacon, halloumi and herbs and a deboned chicken treated the same way. thats for visitors on Boxing day..
They also give us the skin free to make crackling as it seems Cypriots dont use the skin and like it removed from the pork :shock:
