Wonderful! I visited Greece in 1996 and loved that magnificent country… I really would like to go there again…

I thought these were called Koulouri Thessalonikis? Eh? Well, my Mamunaku will not be able to have any of these with his sesame allergy and all.
They are called KOULOURIA THESSALONIKIS mostly (Thessaloniki is famous for them), not kritsinia, although the same people do sell kritsinia too (the crunchy ones are called kritsinia)! I love them and usually have one in the mornings while going to work. NExt time you’re in Athens give me a shout. It would be nice to meet up.
Yep, just as foodjunkie stated, these are more popularily known as Koulouria, native to Thessaloniki.
This reminds me of pretzels.
They look huge!
(Thanks for dropping by my blog!)
I have enjoyed browsing through your blog so far. I would have loved to spend more time in Athens when I was there, but I do remember Kritsinia very well. I tried them just outside of the Parliament Buildings.
Thanks for that. I moved to England when I was really young, and I really want to rediscover my heritage. I’ve been trying out a lot of random greek recipes, and the best I’ve found yet is this greek recipe – it totally remind me of my childhood. I dont remember much of it except for the lovely smells and tasty food on every street.
