Recipe's for Stammna, Sofrito, Kleftiko

<< < (3/3)

Zimmer - as usual you twisted the truth for a cheap shot! Great holiday spirit!
 - - - perhaps you work for the Government spin dept!.
That little cheap shot doesn't bother me though as I posted it to help people who were looking for a recipe!

I didn't have the receipe for Stamna so I got it from the web and acknowledged the name of the Author who did it.
Receipe by Sofi Lazarides Konstantinides -
that is not Yiannis Mum and I did not say it was.
If you want the exact site - I will put the link on. - - Check it out!!
You just failed to mention that name above was on the recipe though.
The other two I got from Yiannis on the beach as it says! - Handwritten on a scrap of paper.

Jules:
Thanks Tony for all your hard work putting these recipes on. Much appreciated and I would think that Strogs who origianaly wanted a recipe will appreciate them as well. :)

tonyco1:
Thanks Jules,
I typed that in (apart from the Stamna one), and had I known they were the standard Greek recipe's -
I could have saved myself time with cut and paste as well.
The difference is that I would have said so. It was only put on to help the person who wanted a recipe.

We asked Yiannis on the beach a couple of years back and he wrote it down for us and gave it to Linda the following day.
Maybe he did copy it from an English translation book or from the web, but that was what he passed to us,
and you know what some of the locals are like!!
It may be that their written English is not so strong, but he did it the best way he knew how so I won't criticise him.

Yiannis told me it was his Mum's recipe, I just took it as a genuine thing as it was offered in that spirit.
I don't really care if I was "had", it's the recipe that counts!
Base line is - its a well worn recipe - well known all over the world, (obviously in many cook books). and I gave out in good faith.
So thanks for all the "nicer" leg-pulls - it will teach me to do a ,little bit of research first in future!
Funny - how no one else had bothered to answer the request, put in a while back now, you lot must have known what would happen!

Funny thing though, I can see after this reply string, why Zimmer say's he will never go back to San Stefanos!
Too many "friends" there!! LOL!! Never mind, just carry on "sniggering" - we're all good at something!!
PS. you need a spell checker as well my "friend" !! LOL

Zimmer:
Wriggle wriggle LOL

Oh lighten up mun ;D I'm not laughing at you , just the comical nature of the thing, I never mentioned the P word,it's funny not a put down - like your banter - you couldve just said "recipe found at www.Greek-recipe.com"....I just had a vision of the this little old Greek lady handing out her olde worlde recipes to tourists,from her PC,"been in the family since plato, only 10 euro's"

just my sense of humour thats all ,Monty Pyhtonish;D ...I'll get my coat ;)

Problem is! - -  a lot of us struggle to understand it at times - it seems to get a bit personal, so is it all of us here - - or your strange humour?
Not always put the best way maybe!
Anyway, It's gonna get cold so do up the coat & close the door!! LOL
