    Praise be! And it’s cool af you grew up in Crete; quite jealous. I’d bear them breasts if it was my heritage! (My heritage is scrapple, it’s not quite as sexy - and definitely more greasy)

      Alas, we have not kept this part of our roots 😔

      Though we absolutely should reconnect with that part of our heritage!

      And you! You should absolutely be proud of your heritage! Your “mush of fried pork scraps and trimmings”(Wikipedia’s words, not mine) may not be “free-tiddy traditional garments” but…

      I actually bet there’s some real interesting stories around this kind of traditional, basically “make food out of what we have” kind of meal. Like our “horta”, being what kept people alive during the various famines and imprisonments, during German occupation.
