Tsiknopempti – Greek Carnival Feast in Toronto
Join me on Thursday, March 16th for Tsiknopempti…Fat Thursday in Greece. The name Tsiknopempti (Burnt Thursday) refers to the smell of charcoal and grilled meats, wafting through the air, everywhere in Greece!
Apokries (Carnival) has already kicked-off in Greece and Greeks have begun the revelry, the eating, drinking and dancing. I’ve created a menu that will bring the tastes of Greek Carnival to you…from the street foods that feed the parade goers to the taverna dishes that satiate the partiers.
Carnival is a tradition in Greece since ancient times. It is believed to have begun as way of worshipping Dionysus, God of wine and feasts. The Greek word for Carnival is Apokries: saying farewell to meat – Apochi apo Kreas. Apokries.
Nisos Importing will provide Cretan olive oil and many specialty Greek ingredients for the menu and Victory Wines & Spirits will be selecting the wines and beverages for the evening.
Please join me at a new venue, the Paint Box Bistro on Dundas East (Toronto) as we celebrate the many wonderful meat dishes in Greek cuisine…too many to include in this menu but enough to make you want to come with family & friends. Buffet slacks recommended!
