Description
The final chord of my "Star week" will be cold Greek fruit soup. This soup is great for lunch on the verandah under an awning somewhere on the beach in the hottest time of the day when on the beach go only daredevils from Russia. You may be surprised that the soup contains curry. It would seem that this spice is more characteristic of Eastern cuisine. But the explanation is very simple. The fact that in the early twentieth century in Greece on a more or less permanent place of residence moved a few thousand Englishmen, who brought this spice. We know that in England the curry came from India, which was its colony. This was enough to make this delicious and aromatic seasoning was mastered by the Greeks. The soup is absolutely amazing, I could not put it down... an awesome combination of apples, onions and mint!!! For languishing in the heat)))
