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

Its a Guyanese extremely hot chutney. If you wish to kill off your taste buds try it. If the jar of the stuff is opened three meters away, that is enough to make your eyes water (not your taste buds mind you).

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?

Epsima is from grapes; teratsomelo is from carob. I had to dig deep into the recesses of my memory for this.

I'm only bothered by seeing (and hearing) fasoulia instead of fasolia.

I'm not certain why ...

Same as FASULYA, where is the problem?

Since you are a wannabe-Greek type of Turk!

In Greek: φασολάδα, say: fah-soh-LAH-thah

According to food historians, fassolatha has been around since ancient Greek times. It is the national dish of Greece, representing the best of the Greek way of cooking: legumes, vegetables, herbs, and olive oil. Whether you make it with tomato or lemon, culinary tradition dictates that fassolatha be served with crusty bread, feta cheese (except during Lent and periods of fasting), and black olives.

Its an open forum, I made a comment and you felt it necessary to 'correct' me whilst I wrote in Turkish and failed to correct a Cypriots version of FASULYA. Get it?

Now I am hungry. I better see if there is any 'Magarina furunda' left. (Macaroni in the oven to you)

You butted in with your version - yeah - on an open forum - Then, don't complain if I continue with mine - it's NOT you I corrected - I usually ignore Turkinishms. Very low to draw in others to your personal Turkish 'cause' ...

i'd be careful with it then, o. i know how much u love everything ancient greek but it's probably gone off by now.
