what kind of cypriots are you people.......


i wish i had some golokasi with shiro.....and nothing is better then a fassoulada with raw onion and a side of newpaper cooked renga.....my mouth is already watery

Way to go!!!!!!!You tell'em cowboy!
Can't beat a bowl of fassoulia with a raw onion.

lolhehe....you forgot the renga cooked with a newspaper...

Mmmm yeah, me too! ... And all of the above including trahana. Raw onion eaten like an apple with mpamyes trumps fassoulada though.

Add kokoretsi to the no-can-do list. Eeew!

[DT.]

Never eat the chewey bits in kokoretsi (Archidia) unless you have 9 daughters and want to have a son.

Paragemosta archithkia is Bill’s favorite!

The fisrt time I came to Cyprus 1982.. my husbands Papou & Yiayia kept Goats behind their house, Yiayia used to make the best haloumi ever & she also made Trahana which were all hand rolled and layed out in the sun to dry,& her own scortalia. (my children were almost suffocated with garlic breath being breathed all oever them for days afterwards) & my very special treat every morning!!!! was a glass of WARM GOATS MILK straight from the goat ( which I drank with a smile as I didn't want to offend... OMG I could taste the goat yuk! yuk!yuk!).

Warm goats milk - now there's a sweetly (?), evocative memory of a Cypriot childhood! Can't touch it now I've been corrupted by cows' milk!

5 foods to never eat…

(idea pinched from the ad above)


Here’s mine:


1. Goutsa!
2. Fassoulia!
3. Boulles!
4. Golokasi!
5. Trahana!

I know you are joking.

If I am wrong then you are NO Cypriote.

[denizaksulu]

KFC
Macdonalds
Mustard
A'acha
Raw fish

[wyoming cowboy]

what is A'acha Deniz? sounds like a cypriot sneeze..lol

[Nikitas]

The spelling of some words intrigues me. I wonder if the posters actually hear/perceive the sounds the way they spell them:

Gologasi instead of Kolokassi
Gouneli, rather than Kouneli

Often i see G being used instead of K and B instead of P.

OK now lets us test your knowledge of true Cypriot cuisine. How many of you know shylari, magilles, ressi, epsima, titsiries? Anyone ever tried crepes on a hot stone the way they made them in Rizokarpasso?

What about some larti, don't see that around any more.
