Lilli where do you get lamb that doesn't taste too strong? I love lamb that's really gamey but the wife likes a much more subtle flavour of lamb...



Any butcher you'd recommend?

Hi nige,



If we had been in TRNC I could have come and cooked it for you and the hubby could have served it to you and your guests. Pity we are in cold and grey England.

I have a great pud recipe to compliment your food. It is very easy to make, but too long to put on here. It's a Delia special. I will cut and paste onto VO. It's yummy.

Thanks Lilli,



Could you be a little more precise as the "Turkish quarter before Sele" is quite a few bits of Girne... and I don't recognise the name Sele....

You meet some interesting folk in that part of town, Grouch. In fact it's one of the few parts of Kyrenia that's much the same as it was in 1974. And all the old Cyprus hands know Sele. Where have you been, laddie? Are you sure you live in Cyprus?

Puke aren't you a clever one!



I'm not an old Cyprus hand... I've not been here for 40 years yet...



Now to be honest as soon as I posted my request for clarification my wife explained where it is and I realised that Lilli was referring to the myriad little streets behind the Telephone exchange in Girne as the Turkish Quarter..



But it's all Turkish now... ha ha...
