I am curious as to what Molohiya is because I want to know if it is what I am thinking it is as we have a similar word "moloha". Is it a plant?

Andri_cy,

I always though the word "Molohiya" was a Greek word, but "Moloha" sounds close enough, so I believe it is the same thing.

Yes, it is a plant leaves, dried, but did have had it fresh (green) once or twice in my life. I cook it twice a year, but eat it 3 days in a row. It's hard to keep enough bread in the house, during this feast.

PS. I'll be happy to send you the recipe, if some one can ship you some "leaves" to the states from Cyprus.

The next step for you is to realise that if the Cyprus problem has 1 degree of difficulty in getting solved with re-unification, the 2 separate states solution you so much lone for, has a degree of difficulty of 100, and some long long years living under the current status quo. Obviously you missed the part of humanists post talking about continuation of the status quo, and jumped directly to the day after that thinking it’s as easy as 1+1=2. Well, I have bad news for you. It is not.

You personally have chosen your path, long live to you, wish you happy ending in case you live that long to see it happening, and in case there will be any TCs or even Turks living in Cyprus until then. The way you go selling our properties I see only half of you living at the occupied 20 years down the road. Good luck in messing everything up, and killing all prospects for a solution.


I think you need to take a deep breath and think through what you are writing as I am unable to understand what the hell it is you are going on about.

Your inability to read and understand is not my problem.
You already proved you are unable to read and understand ECHR's decisions.
Try once more, and in case you still have difficulties write down your queries and I will solve them for you.

Meh I wish I could have someone send me it, but you know how the customs people are here... It does taste pretty good, but I am curious how you make it, as we usually eat it boiled with olive oil and lemon lol...this is so not the subject...

Kikapu,

sorry to disapoint you man but moloha was banned after you left Cyprus as it was discovered to be the main carrier of dogs echinococcus desease. Thousands of maverick dogs killed by the police during the 60s to fight this desease

I remember as a kid in Kücük Kaymakli, Nicosia, that a lot of wild dogs were shot on the streets, which had to have been in the early 60's, but I thought, that had to do with Rabies. I'm happy to report to you, that I have been eating Molohiya / Moloho since and I'm yet to have any kidney problems, but I do "bark" now and again.!!

TC's are growing them, because that's how we get them in the UK. Our whole family eats it, and no one has ever had a medical problems, I'm happy to report.

It is like Spinach, but dried, when shipped abroad.
