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/ …

Kollifa are super yummy and I love them too! I think it’s beautiful that they are sometimes associated with the rememberance of those who are gone, but kollifa are also given as offerings for the celebration of a loved one’s name day :)

Turkish Cypriots serve koliva at weddings and other celebratory occasions, so I grant myself license to dissociate this delicious medley from the macabre and eat it at any time!

Oh, right. I actually have only been to one or two weddings in my whole life, so I should have known better!
