Greek Easter

Yesterday was Greek Orthodox Easter and we had a lovely lunch at my sisters place. Evan had a blast with his cousins. He was very interested in the "breaking eggs" tradition and quite chuffed that he had the "champion" egg.




His first few egg choices weren't too successful, however eventually the winning egg was chosen and all others were destroyed.

The food was amazing, although I don't quite understand how lamingtons have come to be a traditional "Greek Easter" food. They were very yummy.

The picture above shows some of the more traditional foods, the dyed eggs and greek shortbread cookies. Not sure what the popcorn or biscotti are doing there.
