The translation we use for horta is weeds. As that is literally what it is

O.K. Assim, roll another one

So it seems that smoking pot is your favorite Greek/Cretan food

"Horta" is the Modern Greek transliteration of ÷ïñôá, a Modern Greek plural form of the word horto (Greek: ÷ïñôï) meaning grass or green vegetables especially dandelions.

Horta is also an Etruscan mythological agricultural goddess.

I think mine has to be fassolakia. Especially when my mother-in-law cooks it. Actually I love anything she cooks, and I'm lucky as she is; a good cook and a Cretan

Come on Santo, go for the adventure. Don't you remember your first "moule" or even " huitre" and don't forget your "fruit the mere".

Wim, you're so carnivorous that you even eat "fruit de mere" instead of "fruits de mer"

no offence old chap, this was too funny to let it pass !

[Wim]

Isnt that great! Forgot the difference between mer and mere
But you're right I loved my mother that much that I would have for dinner

Hi everyone - I was bought a beautiful Cretan cookery book for my house-warming present recently. It's called 'Fish and Figs' and not only does it give the recipes of some mouth watering dishes we love, but it also has 40 pages explaining the history of certain dishes and foods, and the value of olive oil, vegetables and fruit etc. It is a fabulous book and we are slowly wading our way through it, cooking one of the meals once a week. I can certainly recommend it.

Hi Wim
I am up for that. Any recipes you have I want em. I am not a good cook but i try. and i love greek food

[Wim]

And not only a cookery one but also one about beverages.

We could re baptise it to "Cretan food and beverages" but I think that wont work. Before you know someone else starts a topic about beer
