My wife's a big fan. Everytime we visit a friend of mine in the north, she demands that he serves Ayran... I can't stand the stuff though.

soemone care to explain what it is?

It's a yoghurty drink... beyond that, hard to describe... next time you're in the North, try it.

The Greek Cypriot's call it Airani - its a yoghurt drink with mint taste, doesn't sound great but if you try it you might like it.

Dont forget dry mince for a nice smell.

Can you get it in the Republic of Cyprus Liza? I've never looked for it in the shops so I don't know. Strangely enough, we can get it over here from the Church in Mansfield... :shock:

Yeah you can get it over here too but I'm not sure how easy it is to get hold of.
