Mariana, I liked the picture a lot and I have to admit that I really like tongue-especially with 'söğüş' served beside it. But I wonder what actually lays behind this superstition?

I always enjoy telling of my island's traditions but enjoy even more reading about them from others and knowing these traditions are of interest to so many.

Although I am from Kalymnos, my husband is from Agrinio and there it is not Easter unless the lamb is cooked on the spit. He has been good about accepting the Kalymnian tradition, which I insist on carrying on, but last year he longed for the spit-roasted lamb, so we made two-- my Kalymnian mouri and his arni sth souvla--and just invited even more friends and family to celebrate the Easter holiday with us.

Great info, I didn't know about hyacinth bulbs being traditional Greek food even though I'm Greek! Well at least I knew about Cretan bulbs with lamp.

Are lampascioni also cooked together with meat or seafood?

The same bulbs of Muscari comosum are known in Italy as "lampascioni" and are used more or less in the same way in the traditional cousine of Puglia and Basilicata regions of southern Italy.

Ashure could translate into kamhiyeh in the Near East, kameh meaning wheat; I did not know about the injunctions to women about sex and such; your knowledge about these things never ceases to amaze me! Happy New year Mariana if I forgot to say so!

Those pastry cream triangles look amaaaaaaazing.
Also, I'm so excited to see how you're meshing academia with a recipe blog. So many sites cover one or the other, and it makes sense to read about them together.

It's always nice to read a piece of history on how chef as we know today and their status in the old days.

Α few things i learned about them: they got married when they were in their early 20's (!) and they adore children though they haven't had a kid of their own.
