The Paphian BBQ is the best!!! 
First you dig a hole in the ground and light a fire in it with real wood chunks.No coal nonsense. Then you chase the fattest piglet around the farm till it gets really tired. You catch it and cut it's throat while it's shrieking in fear (this is to get the meat tastier) Then you take it's guts out and give the bladder to the kids which they blow up and use it as a football.Then, using boiling hot water and an abrasive stone, you scrub the skin of the piglet to get rid of all the hair and finally rub it with lemons and salt inside out. You put the whole animal on a skewer (arse to head) and roast it over the fire turning the skewer by hand (no BBQ technology allowed as this reduces the taste) It's important that the heat from the coal is medium to low.Served with jacket potatoes thrown into the fire and freshly cut salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and onions from the nearby orchard. (If you stumble on your horny newly wed brother and sister in law in the orchard you make sure you dont say a word or else you get a really bad beating)..Kali oreksi...!!!!
Really, i have been the witness of the above so many times as a kid...  
PS. If the coal flames up while roasting the piglet, you ask a kid to piss on the fire.... |
Is this why so many children are traumatised in cyprus. |
What are you talking about Bro??!!! It did me so much good..Learned how to light a BBQ fire, how to corner a piglet, how to piss on a fire without getting your willy burned and watched a free live sex show on top...!!! |
I rest my case |

This sounds just the thing. When I were a lad I lived between an oil refinery and a chemical works ... that toughened me up. Never had a day's illness in my life (well, not quite true, but it sounds impressive) 
Compare those daft barbecue trays which people use in the local park, leaving burned rectangles in the grass and the local council to put up posters threatening £500 fines.
It was a mistake printing those posters in English ... barbecue trays are for pussies anyway! |

Any self respecting Cypriot wouldn't be caught using anything else, go show them how it is done Dhavlos. |

Quite the contrary - I used to think barbecues were a ridiculous idea and the short of thing "English people did" (that wrong idea again)
Then I moved to England and - among other things - realised that you just can't get a conventional oven or grill hot enough! |

Every time I looked he'd gone and bought himself another!While we're at it I'm started a new thread on Cypriot produce to further CTD's and my discussions on why KEO beer et al hasn't gone mainstream in the UK! |

Tell me about it!! Laughing According to my Mother I was once offered the opportunity to "choose" a chicken to go with the makarina one evening
|
Same thing happenned to me too! My grandmother lived in a small village near Famagusta and we used to visit her on the weekends. One weekend, she asked me which chicken of hers I liked most when I was about 5-6. I told her and the next thing I remember is that a village kid is chasing the chicken with a knife!  Apparently, my grandmother paid the kid to slaughter the chicken for the makarina. |

| Hey, my chicken story isn't quite the same, but I thought i'd tell you it anyway..... A few years ago when I went to Cyprus, I was on the balcony of my Nan's house, the balcony that faces the back. This women who we affectionally now call "the chicken women" came out of her house with a knife, a bucket and a chicken (can you see where i'm goin with this? ) I thought nothing of it, as you do (?), so it came as a bit of a shock to me when she finally chopped it's head of!! Slightly disturbing as you can imagine!! However, apart from the fact that she kills' chickens, she is actually a really sweet lady, she's always bringing us fresh, home made haloumia.....although I think she wants one of us (the female cousins) to marry her grandson...mmm... |
