We did pretty well here, but my personal favourite are koulourakia, and probably they are the most popular Greek cookie as well, but they did not make the list but obscure ones like moustokouloura and amygdalota did?

@Makedonas I can confirm that it did not take me long to go through a tin of kourabiedes :d

Even Greeks sometimes struggle to eat them without making a mess, and getting powdered sugar all over their clothes and the table/floor etc, so I must say I'm very impressed :thumbup:

I would happily buy the entire national supply of Turkish Delight/Loukoumi as well (especially the rose flavor) @Makedonas

I never said anything about not making a mess :p

 

It probably took me a few weeks to clean up all the powered sugar from the kourabiedes and Turkish Delight :p

    • Its a bit off top, but Turkmenistan also was only one country in the world without official case of covid 
    • In the USSR, when Stalin died, there was de-Stalinization but some of his monuments remained, although, for example, the names of cities were changed. I feel sorry for the people living in Turkmenistan or smiliar countries but what can be done? The USA could to introduce some civilized life in Afghanistan but this government was so weak that it fell a few weeks after the Americans left. It would probably be similar here.
    • I love to see more competitions but we had the highest level for 6 weights in Paris, non-Olympic events also needed a top tier competition for this year of 2024.   considering the fact that the IOC is shrinking the competition to just 16 per weight, it wouldn't that bad to have a full 10 weight competition for each style, giving the chance to everybody.   but we would see lots of big names not participating because of the Olympics (and the recovery time after that) so I think that was the best solution.    ps: if it was up to me entirely  I think 8 weights is good enough for men (6 is too less, 10 is too much) and all of them should be in the Olympics. but unfortunately it's up to King T. and his goons. 
    • I’ve only seen things related to the father of this current president. And not even much of that, everything had the face of the new one now.   but of course, I saw only what I was allowed to see , that is how things work if you want to visit it :-)
