What is the cuisine of Cyprus?

Answer 1

The traditional diet of Cyprus is the mediterranian diet, with fresh fish and vegetables cooked with olive oil. There are some specialities of the island; halloumi cheese originates from Cyprus and is often served as a starter or fried for breakfast. Because Cyprus is close to Turkey and North Africa there are influences there that are rarely found on Greek islands; the meze - a meal of many dishes is widely served in Cyprus and falafal (deep fried chick pea balls, from North Africa) are often found.
