I've been trying to research the foodways of Cypress for some time.  It's slow going, because most of the majority foods are little different than one finds in Greece.  What I'm looking for are those dishes and approaches that are distinctly Cypriot.

I'd appreciate any inputs.

Precious little out there Brook..as you said the differences between Cypriot and Greek are so minor. Here's one link I came up with.

Thanks, Dave.  I'd missed that one in my search, and it has some interesting stuff I'd not found elsewhere.

Thanks, Melissa.

I'd already come across that one in my research.  

One nice thing about Cypriot food is that I don't have to find too many rare ingredients, as I have most of them from other projects.  

The hardest to find is caul fat.  It's available on-line, but mostly only in large quantities (like 5 to 10 lbs). Add in the shipping, and the fact most of the specialty butchers who supply it have minimum order sizes, and your talking about really big bucks.  

I did find one supplier who offers smaller amounts. But by the time you factor in the extras, it would have cost $133. That's just not going to happen. Alas!Cry

Historic Foodie, 

Definitely an exceptionally interesting cuisine as the island has 2 parts; The Greek and The Turkish.  

Hope all is well during these challenging times.

Has been awhile since we have both been here.  I had asked Ron about you yesterday. He mentioned that you were working on a very fascinating Mexican project. 

Hope all is going very well.

Hey, Margi.  

Actually, it's more extensive than that. I'm doing an exploration of all Latin American cuisines.  

Of course, saying "Latin America" is like saying "Europe."  So I've really got my work cut out for me. There are 20 countries involved.  But, so far, it's fun.

Historic Foodie, 

Yes, you are very right !  LOL

Oh, this sounds amazing.  Good luck with the research and authoring. 

I look forward to hearing more about this.  

Have a lovely weekend.
