Basketball and patsas
A cosy winter's night, a pot on the stove, a glass in hand and a game on the telly
The heavy old pot boiling on the stove, full of fatty calves foot and stomach. Patsas, the name of the soup. A favourite in the wee hours after a heavy night. It soothes the stomach 'they say'.
A bottle of 'skorthostoubi'
Many gloves of garlic in a bottle of vinegar, ready to be poured into the soup
What's left
A few 'knuckles' from the foot
Good companions and a good game.
Greece beat Germany
It soothes the stomach, after too much drinking? Is that what you meant? But it is also a good meal, as seen, from your post.
ReplyDeleteAlways good, when your team wins! ,-)

It is supposed to be extreme;y nutricious. Good for the stomach at any time but especially after drinking. Just the time I dont think I could stomach goats foot!
DeleteYes, is it good after drinking? Possibly when people start to get hungry and need something to fill their tummies
ReplyDeleteIt sounds very tasty and the cute dog seems interested in what is left.
ReplyDeleteHe is a cute little dog. 'Junior' he is called, the youngest of my daughters family
Deleteohh I have eaten something like this in South Africa The vinegar is to cut the slightly gelatinous consistency? we had rice soup today. yum!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it is more or less the tripe you know. I'm sure they have similar soups all over the world, especially in places where every bit of the beast is eaten
Deleteohhh Linda do you have a recipe for a soup I had in Mykonos, it was chickpea and had cinnamon sprinkles. I cant find a recipe for it, they all look like they have tomato in. Where as this was chickpea colour and was flavoured with lemon. It tasted like super garlicky houmous. (I didnt think it had tahini in it...) Any suggestions of a name for it so I can search the internet, will be gratefully received!
DeleteHave to reply properly when I get home and can turn on the big desk computer. Sounds like our chickpea soup but maybe the sprinkles were paprika??
Deleteoh I dont know maybe it was just what they gave us and there was an option for paprika or cinnamon. I love cinnamon so it was a good accident! lol
DeleteThe soup you will find under 'soupa revithia'. Revithia' are chickpeas. We use dried ones soaked overnight. Much easier if you just buy a tin.
DeleteThey are boiled with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and chopped onion. My m in law and husband of course thickens them at the end of boiling with a little flour and water. I mash them a little with a potato masher. Salt is added at the end and they can be served with a little more oil, lemon juice and some pepper or paprika.
My woodburner looks very similar on most nights, with a few spuds in with the ash pan. No Michelin stars, but oh so good!
ReplyDeleteWe baked some potatoes last night. Hot, with lashings of butter.
DeleteLove the stove. We cut potatoes length ways in half and sprinkle olive oil and sea salt on them. They're delicious.
ReplyDeleteYes, those potatoes would be perfect. The Greeks like lemon juice as well but I don't!
DeleteWhat a cutie that puppy is
ReplyDeleteGlad Greece won. Not cold her. But muggy and wet
