Here is a plate of "Gulurikya" made today by my grandmother.

I don't know what it's called exactly in Greek but it is basically curled doe boiled in what we call ( pekmez ) I don't know the engilsh word for it , I'll call it "carob juice". It is very sweet. |

Ah carob (or deratchia in the gr) ! You either love it or hate it and I am one of those sick people who love crunching away on the pods. I think I'm going to plant one or two of these trees on my little bit of Cy when I am next over. |

lets start with sweets ,
Ceviz (walnut) Macun (Ghliko karidhaki)
fresh ,green baby walnuts (CEVİZ) before the shell hardens are used to make macun.Due to its hight content of protein , fat , minerals and vitamins , walnut is nourishing to human body .it protects the body against tooth and bone diseases , heals gum and mouth ulcers and provides high energy .
walnut Macun is locally famaus for its sexual empowering effects.

Umit, without having to go into too much detail, what part of Cyprus is your grandmother from? I have never seen or heard this dish. I just know that Koulourikia/Gulurikya means a Zero/O ring/nought etc.
We did have many carob trees, so we cant say they have it where it grows, otherwise I would have come across it. |
