Total is a great basic Greek yoghurt. Lovely with Greek honey or mixed with muesli instead of milk. Super also just with some mint and salt. Garlic and cucumber optional for making tzatziki, obviously.

There are a few other varieties, that we only find when we're in Greece, which are solid and keep their shape, cut with a knife. Yum.

Dolloped on mbourghouri ...mmmm!


Yup ... love the stuff too ZoC.

What language are 'rizin pellafin' and 'mbourghouri'?. I wont ask about yogurt.

The roots of the words are all Greek, Deniz. The arabinised forms are more commonly used since the Arabs did the bulk of the translations from Ancient Greek, in the middle ages.

'The name bulgur is from Turkish bulgur, which is from Arabic burghul, which is from Persian barghūl.[1] The food was popular in all regions of the Turkish Ottoman Empire and variants of the name are in all the corresponding languages (including bollgur in Albanian, pligoúri or pourgoúri in Greek, gurgur in Aramaic, and bulgur in Bulgarian), բլղուր (բուլղուր) in Armenian .'

I dont know what to say apart from, 'I hate contradicting O'.

Damn it Wikipedia is utterly useless.

Pilaf, also called poloپلو , polao, pilau, pilav, pilaff, plov or pulao in its adopted languages (Turkish, Azerbaijani, Kazakh, Kurdish, Kyrgyz, Marathi, Uzbek, Turkmen, Urdu, Bengali, Hindi, Pashto, Persian, Armenian etc.) and in Greek (Pilafi-Πιλαφί), is a dish in which a rice is cooked in a seasoned broth (zirvak).[1] In some cases, the rice may also attain its brown color by being stirred with bits of burned onion, as well as a large mix of spices. The English term pilaf is borrowed directly from Turkish, which in turn comes from (Classical) Persian پلو, Urdu pulao (پلاؤ) and Hindi pulav (पुलाव), and ultimately derives from Sanskrit pulaka (पुलाक)[2]. Depending on the local cuisine, it may also contain a variety of meat and vegetables.

Pilaf and similar dishes are common to Middle Eastern, Central and South Asian, East African, Latin American, and Caribbean cuisines.

You confirmed what I said by going backwards. The ROOT is Greek, transmitted to Arabic and then you lot, last.

You jump at the slightest opportunity to claim that everything is Greek and in the process make a dork of yourself because “Bourgouri” is actually a Cypriot word!

The Greeks use “Bligouri” or something like that, and it’s a wheat pilaf not a cereal like someone else said!

And btw, given that stupid Greeks couldn’t read or write until they met Cypriots, then the roots to all the words you’re on about is CYPRIOT not Greek!
