April in Kandanos

Happy April! The winter seemed endless this year, and here in Kandanos, we had enough of bad weather! The first signs of spring are finally present with blossoming.  A particular type of wild greens that grow in Kandanos this time of year are AVRONIES. Avronies grow in places with plenty of water, such as rivers, and usually sprout in thorny bushes. They look somewhat like wild asparagus, and when cooked are very bitter! Special dishes are created when paired with lamb, octopus, or with eggs.
