Sweet teasers with cinnamon and honey
One cannot leave a table satisfied unless they have felt the pleasure of sweetness on their tongue. Honey is a symbol of abundance and that makes it indispensible for the Christmas table.
Greeks enjoy it with pancakes,díples, and melomakárona. In the city of Volos, they are baklavá lovers, whereas on Corfu they skip honey to sweeten their palates with Christmas pudding.
Sweet pies with walnuts (called platséda) await the diners on Lesvos, whereas the area of Kavala honours those famous butter and almond biscuits dusted with powdered sugar named kourampiédes. A version of those is peculiar to Samos by the name of katádes.
