We eat a "dessert" exclusively pretty much at funerals, memorial services called κόλλυφα (koliva) & it's delicious. Is it super macabre that I like it? I mean it tastes so good. The only thing in the Cypriot version I don't like are the silver dragées.https://annauk1.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/making-koliva-step-by-step/ …

Saaaameee! But I think that's the point of it, a bit of sweetness to comfort people. Greeks and Cypriots have always used food as comfort.

For sure, any non-Cyp I meet who has spent time with us always says things like "Cypriots taught me that must always have a full stomach, you can't die on an empty stomach" LMAO
