LIDL Cyprus

Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

Regarding the use of locally sourced fresh fruit and veg. I would not be at all surprised if the Cypriot produce was BELOW the required standard. With the exception of potatoes Cypriot veg is crap.

Certainly in Britain LIDL sell some excellent quality foods. Blended malt whisky (not single malt) is only £9.99 a bottle, some of the wines are top quality(for the money).

Somehow I cannot see the likes of SWS beans being sold there, the quality just isn't good enough.

Cyprus vegetables depend on the season, just like nature intended them to be. Unless of course you prefere the all-year-round Israeli GMO shit that looks the same and tastes of nothing 365 days a year.

Cyprus has amazing vegetables and especially fruits!

I am not sure about the alcohol prizes in the South but here in the North I have seen Whiskey for 4 liras (2 Euros) a liter, yes 1 liter! I would not drink it, but it is there for people who do not have livers.

One does not need scummy LIDL to be cheap.

Only when you beef your prices up to become like the EU, thats when LIDL comes into the game to sell you crap that is not cheap but less expensive!

LIDL is bad news, it only works in countries that sell you bad quality stuff for a lot of money. LIDL will never make any money here in the North :lol:

Shahmaran is a mythical creature usually said in southern, central and eastern Anatolia, Iran and Iraq. The name of Shahmaran comes from words "Shah" and "Maran". "Shah" means King/Queen and "Maran" means snake in Persian. In the tale, Shahmaran is defined as a wise and benign woman. She is the queen of snakes. She has the features of a woman above the waist and those of a sepent below the waist. When she died, her spirit is believed to pass to her daughter.[1][2]
In Turkey, Shahmaran is believed to live in the Mediterranean town of Tarsus. A legend passes the same name in the Mardin region. In this region she is depicted with famous Shahmaran pictures.
