“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Htipiti

 

Ingredients

1 karen mintzias
1/2 lb feta
3 tbsp oilve oil
1 medium italian pepper - seeded & finely ch, opped
1 pickled green pepper - seeded and c, hopped
2 tsp oregano
1 pepper to taste

1 black olive, for garnish



 

Preparation

Htipiti (pronounced h-tee-pee-TEE and translated as "that which is
beaten") is the name Macedonians gave to this tart feta spread. The
longer it is beaten, the more tart it will be.

In medium-size bowl, mash feta with fork or potato masher and slowly
add olive oil, chopped peppers, oregano, and black pepper. Pulverize
mixture for about 10 minutes (less if using a food processor),
pouring in lemon juice a little at a time, until feta is creamy.
Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Yields about 1
cup.
