There's a special Greek Easter soup called magritza.

Sooo my favorite older cousin had us over for Greek Easter. Prepared a wonderful meal, except for...

...that soup!
😄 (I can laughter after about 55 yrs)

So there's those little organs floating about. Whimper. I can still see them!
But...I loved my cousin so, half choked them down.

Always hated fishy smelling fish. Another older cousin; the older sister of the previous cousin had a get together. One of the appetizers was a cracker with some mix of something I liked except I picked out the anchovy.

Did it occur to me that it might have left an odor bc of it's?oil...

...noooo?

Gak!
People say they're really salty. All I could taste was strong fish.
