RE: Cookbook With Me #5 - Battling winter with Armenian yogurt sorrel soup + 2 Greek steemians' recipes!
You are dangerous!
I only came here to wish you a happy and prosporous new year, but found stuff I now have to copy and paste, so as to add to my recipe book (folder).
Did you celebrate the new year eve party in Cyprus?
A pity the above must have sheep yoghourt. Not something easy to come by in SA (only goat yoghourt) and even that, where available, is damn expensive. One of my favourite dishes is Lahano-dolmades. Do you eat it? With all the fresh lemon in the sauce, it is perfect for winter days.
Goat's must have a very similar flavor profile to sheep's, I believe. The two are often combined in Cy into a sheep/goat's yogurt blend, and I don't detect much difference in taste compared to plain sheep's.
To think of sheep's yogurt as expensive is very odd to me! 500g costs 1 euro here. I guess it's the same with Italians and Parmesan cheese: those lucky bastards probably buy it for pennies!
Yup we eat dolmades (which we call κουπέπια in Cyprus), in fact I had them this very morning! In Cyprus we make them much better than in Greece, IMO, cos we add minced meat, whereas in Greece it's usually just rice and flavorings, or maybe pine nuts or whatnot, so when you eat them it's like a side, it's like you didn't really eat anything. My mom's κουπέπια is definitely in my top 10 favorite dishes! She makes it especially lemony!
Happy New Year's to you too, although the way steem is going I think we'll all be celebrating! Even my puny 50% vote is worth 12 cents now! It's astounding!
Don't think I don't remember my promise to read your story! I do! I have a backlog of promises both to myself and other people. I've had some health issues recently that took up a chunk of my time. I'll get busier soon.
Don't worry about the story - I stopped posting it. Only Niko bothered to read it. What I would like to post for you is the part where Robert goes back in time to save a specie and he meets the person he calls "The Ethical Captain'. I sort of wonder whether you would agree with her rule.
By the way, Robert initiated early on a change I liked. He decided that all sapient species are humans, so we must call ourselves Terrans. I find it strange that nobody has ever questioned it, giving me reasons why I'm wrong. I don't know whether I should consider it a sign that we are maturing, or just that my readers were too lazy and indifferent.
