My doctor friend told me that, after Green Monday, they get very busy in the hospitals with Cypriots who have overindulged and gorged themselves on too much meat after fasting for weeks. It can, apparently, make them very ill (but they do it anyway!)
Thats why we do not eat Pork.
In our Cypriot household the food (now) is mainly vegetarian orientated with a bit of meat for the fatties. Plenty of fish and chicken though.
Just remembered , in the village we also had chicken and rabit too.
but only on very special occasions.
