Hi Tonia,
I'm not sure what it is called, but it is a desert made i think out of filo pastry and load's syrup. Very fattening but very greek, you don't know what its called or how to make it do you.

Thanks jim

Hi Tonia, i think it's called backclavi, but i think it might have oridgenated from Turkey. [smiley=sigh.gif]

Tonia, what kind of vinegar do you use in the Tzatzike? i used balsamic but it made the mix go a touch brown. It was still nice though!

[mrs_horgota]

Welcome back John.
I used normal malt vinegar once and none the next time which I found better, but thats personal taste.
So now I don't bother with it at all, I find it too acidic.

Thanks Tonia, i thought about leaving the vinegar out altogether next time. At least i can add a touch later if i think it needs it.
