She knows how much we love them, so this year she send us 5!! The first time we tasted them, we just loved them at once- they are amazing nougats and I actually kept one from when she came to visit last- not wanting to eat the last one, as I knew it was very speciel- but now as we have so many, we'll eat the delicious candy!! mmm
And chewing gum!!My friend S send me some wonderful cookies from a famous bakery- traditional xmas cookies- and they are wonderful- even the youngest who doesnt really like cake, loves them! We fight over the last crumbs!
Melomakarona and kourabiedes
Melomakarona ( meli means honey in Greek)
Kourabiedes, mmm....very light, very delicate, incredible crunchy and crumbly- my all time favorite! I once tried to make the kourabiedes myself last year, but I have to admit..they were no where near as good as these, but they sort of looked almost right, didnt they?
These are my attempt last year;)
halvadopites it is ... not pasteli ... traditional product of Syros (island in Agean Sea)
ReplyDeletemrs c.
I know..I still some Pasteli, will bring a pic of it too:=)
ReplyDeletekourabiedes is also a bad word in greece. If you want to curse somebody u call him kourabie. It means stupid, silly or fool.
ReplyDeleteYou should be the only Danish who makes kourabiedes lol, I dont like them, they are crunchy, I prefer melomakarona with lots of honey sirop yum!
