Description

New year in Greek-
Undoubtedly, in the contest "new year tastes of the planet" should involve pie with the sonorous name "Vasilopita" - the main character of the Greek of the new year feast. Pie baked from unleavened dough, sparing no additives and spices that make almost every family vasilopita the individual. And when the clock had struck, the New year has come, on the second lights, turn on again, congratulate each other and cut Vasilopita. A piece of the Christmas pie must get everyone in the family. Even if someone is missing, the piece store to the meeting. Sometimes separate piece for those who never seen: for the virgin Mary, St. Basil, or even (hush!) kallikantzaroi, creatures, is most similar to goblins. That's such an archaic sacrifice. But the most fascinating ritual Vasilopita is the search for coins. The coin is hiding before baking the dough, and whoever finds it in their slice, will be in the coming year especially lucky.
