Total Tszatziki - middle class crisis #41

[Pat "5mph"]

You could try squeezing the cucumber in a clean kitchen towel. I just prefer leaving the juice in. You should also try the small Cypriot cucumbers if you can get them. They have a much better flavour.

BTW - I'm Cypriot and (amongst other things) a chef.

Ti ganis, compare, Re?
I lived with the best Cypriot chef ever for many years - sadly he passed away (also many years ago) left me unending love for Cypriot food

Edit: and love for Cyprus and its people too

Yannis is all for leaving the cucumber unmolested.

BTW - I'm fat and a gourmand.

As long as it's gourmand and not 'gourd man', Vernon - it shouldn't put too many off their kebabs etc...not safe for most of your body...let alone work!
I like it with mint. And without. Cue cumbersome.
I am a 'go man'.

Nice to hear. Unfortunately it's rapidly becoming a bit of a basket case. If you do get a chance to go, head for the hills. There are some nice places around Kakopetria that are still unspoilt and chilled out.

I'll give you a shout the next time I'm making pastichia (almond macaroons). Can't think of much else that would survive the postal system - they had a go at me the last time I posted a kebab

All the talk about tsis and tzat...Noodley could have sought solace nearer home...http://www.piesbypost.co.uk/index.html
Anyway, the internet knows everything:

Noodley will be waiting a long time. It's not in the UK product range.

Thank you.

Now to start my campaign to get in back on the UK product range list...

I e-mailed them yesterday and got a reply today stating that due to lack of demand they stopped stocking it in the UK and have no intention of reintroducing it.

I wonder if they would change their mind if they were were inundated with demands from others - if only I knew somewhere where 1000s of people gathered to pass the time of day and get involved in something, and where they'd gladly help someone else...

Just saying'

Glad you said that Pat i've been holding off.

Total rip off, if you ask me.

Bit of yoghurt, bit of garlic and bit of cucumber, and Stavros is your uncle!

plus: touch of olive oil, splash of wine vinegar.

I also emailed them, they never bothered replying to me though.

 

[Noodley]

If I had wanted to make my own I'd have started a thread titled "how do I make Tszatziki"

Ah, but did you call them nobbers?

No, I think that is where I have gone wrong!!
