With the Black Sea gone........

[Kinygos]

must be the potatoes that clog the arteries up!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

OK so what's wrong with Bream, salad & fresh bread, and a glass (or two) of chilled white?

[bill]

Thanks Kinygos, will give it a go - should save the carpet getting any soggier fronm the tears!

[sunfun]

;DI was joking kinygos! Of course potatoes won't clog up your arteries,but i've started a low-carb diet so potatoes,bread,pasta & rice are a definite no-no. However i can eat the cheese,bacon onions and garlic...which may clog up my arteries but gets the weight off! Strangely enough though,it's supposed to lower your cholesterol.

[sunfun]

Can't get wine either for another week. No alcohol at all.

[Kinygos]

I hope that you are refering to the bream and not cholesterol spud!
Just had a fish stew with the second half of a small hake with spud carrot, onion, chilli, celeriac & spinach.
I can feel the blood surging through my coronary arteries as I write!

However the chilled white is probably not doing me much good!

You may well find the seasoned favourites of BOTH tavernas are maintained.

Of all the food we have tasted whilst we have been on Halki, the Black Sea's Potato au gratin is one of thee best dishes we have ever tasted, it just hits the spot (no matter what is in it and however it is cooked) time after time and year after year, abit like the garlicky aubergine starter that was served up at Remezzo's..... oh, and any one of the lurvely dishes served up at the Grille..........
Sod any diet, enjoy yourself - thats what holidays are for.






































































Right, where's that fish.

[sunfun]

[Kinygos]

Right, where's that fish.

Hi Livanios, thank you for explaining what has happened to your taverna, I know it has been a favourite of many of us on here for a long time. We very much enjoyed sitting on the terrace of the hotel in the late afternoon having a drink and we shall look forward to it even more if we can enjoy your food once again ;D I wish you every success and look forward to seeing you in september ;D

[Liz]

Hi Livanios ..I'm sure it was a very hard decision to make to give up the family buisness...I think most of us here have only good things to say about the Black Sea , as Carol said we wish you every sucess for the future and I hope your Mum & Dad enjoy a well earned rest

My friend Livanios is not at the Black Sea anymore, but it is a fact that Tamazi and Hatuna are rocking the place now! Hope to see everyone really soon while I'm there, including Livanios! I still remember that huge fish Tamazi prepared for me 2 ways, last October, soup and grilled.

He prepared it on his own by the way, Ha tuna wasn't there, just to give the guy some extra credit!

Truth be said, there are many tavernas on the island with freshly prepared Greek food, doing justice to the normally great produce we've got over here...
