Tiramisu - wasn't that invented to make the rest of the meal seem better? I've never heard anyone say anything nice about tiramisu.

What? It's a massive favourite in proper Italian restaurants and enjoyed in households everywhere!

Besides, I thought you'd have commented on my meal out yesterday:)

Looking up Mari's Eggs on the web, they look to be very reasonably priced: certainly cheaper than what we pay here. Pop-up stalls selling through a 'charity box' system looks radical - ""Vive la revolution"! ;)

I don't know what you found Barry but they are not a commercial venture. They are organic.

If you say so. But remember not everyone in the world is Italian :ner: For my part, I could eat it as I've never encountered a dessert I couldn't eat. But it would be way down my list.

Lol - just letting you know that it's a very popular dessert in restaurants, among Brits, so your comment about no-one having a good word to say about it is way off the mark.

Barry probably won't like it, though!:D

I just typed in "Mari's Eggs" into Google, along with the address as marked on the egg box you showed, and it came up with what I said: that they are a pop-up stall that ask for payment in cash which goes to the local community and charities.

If they are not a commercial venture, why have they gone to the trouble of having egg boxes printed as shown?

I have eaten both tiramisu and zabaglione; I don't dislike them but I wouldn't choose them if they were on the menu at a restaurant.

Basically, I don't really like things that are too sugary and sweet.

Ah, ok that's cool:)

If you like fruit, do you think you'd enjoy macedonia?

I just asked my wife who got the eggs and that's what she said.

Fundamentally, though, she's kinda right.

"Ultimately, while it is legally and functionally a tiny commercial side-business, most locals and visitors would describe it as a traditional rural farm-gate stall rather than a mainstream "commercial venture."

I have eaten baclava, but again I find them too sticky and sweet. The same with Turkish desserts, and possibly most other desserts available Muslim countries.


But to answer your question "do you think your would enjoy macedonia?" Well, I have never visited Macedonia, but have visited its neighbours: Greece, Albania, Kosova and Serbia, and Bulgaria, all of which I have enjoyed, so would most likely enjoy Macedonia.

To 'dilute' this thread drift, I can tell you the worse wine I have ever sampled was in Albania. It was indescribably bad.
