Can I just say I realy like moussaka but I do tend to leave the aubougine if there is too much of it .. I like all the flavours but am not a big fan of aubourgine.

Try some of the local dishes - but ask the waiter to describe them first,
(e.g. some people prefer grilled meat to casseroled meat) - then you will have a good idea of what is happening with the menu.
As I love meat and lamb especially, (I love Kleftico for example), different Tavernas can do a slightly differently version.
A lot of the local dishes come as a varient of casseroles, but are very tasty.

I had a a kleftico in northen cyprus when I was nine.  Are they similar ( lamb wraped in something cooked in an outdoor oven) ?  Ony other thing I remeber was drinking 2l of water after it as I bit into a whole tiny chilli.  It felt as if my mouth was on fire.

Kleftico is slow cooked lamb casserole, with feta on top and covered by foil.
Like Tony I love lamb,Cypriot cooking is superb [ probably better than Corfiot and thats saying something ]

Tony............ What is the lamb that Dimitri does in cheese? That is superb! Also on Lamb Thomas Bay used to do an absolutely brilliant lamb giouvetsi (spelling iffy!). Loved lamb ever since I fell for Shani Lewis!!!!!

After the previous 2 to 3 posts prior to JulesT I really started to worry when she said :- I love every part of the.................... I really started to worry as you lot were on about sheep!

How could you suggest that Dimitri would behave like that, 'doing' a Lamb in cheese of all things - LOL

Was it that good? Is that a Scottish, or American moose?
