Det er i Εβδομάδα της κρεατινής - ”kjøtt-spiser-uken” - den siste uken man spiser kjøtt før fasten. Neste gang man spiser kjøtt er det etter midnatt påskeaften eller 1. påskedag. Den neste uken er Εβδομάδα της Τυρινής - ”ost-spiser-uken” - det vil si at meieri produkter, egg og fisk er tillatt. Med ”katharå Deftera" / Rene Mandagen starter fasten og varer i 6 uker. Mange dager er det strikt faste, somoftest i helgene er man tillatt vin og olje, og av og til fisk. Jeg tror at fasten følges mest i de hjemmene hvor "giagia" - bestemor - eller andre litt eldre folk bor! Mennene lurer seg ofte ut og får seg et "skikkelig" måltid på en taverna! "Axinouss" Tallerkenen øverst til venstre ble servert meg en gang i tiden på OuzoBaren! Nikos, fisker, kom innom med en stor pose kråkeboller og Jannis spurte om noen av oss ville ha! Det var bare meg som ville, og jeg nøt det! Det smaker hav, - og jeg elsker havet! De var ferdig åpnet, heldigvis, og dryppet med litt olje og sitron! Man bryter litt loff, dypper nedi og skraper rundt slik at man får med seg alt! Aldeles nydelig! Såvidt jeg vet er det 3 faster i året; den lange største som er nå, så en korter før Jomfru Marias dag 15. august og en noe lengere før jul. "Sarakostee" - Lent The karnavali lasts for about 3 weeks, but here mostly 11 days and starts on Tziknopempti, that is the Εβδομάδα της κρεατινής - "meet-eating-week" - the last week of eating meet. Next time is after midnight at Easter Saturday or Easter Sunday. The next week is Εβδομάδα της  Τυρινής - "cheese-eating-week" - that means one eats dairy products, egg and fish. At "Katharo Deftera" / Clean Monday the lent starts. Many days has very strict rules, but often in the weekends one is allowed vine, oil and sometimes fish. I think that the lent rules are followed in the homes where the "jaja" - grandmother - or other older persons are. I have seen some men easting meat at tavernas! "Achinouss" The plate at the top to the left was served me once upon a time at "The Brown Chairs"! Nikos, the fisherman, passed by with some bags with sea urgins, and Jannis asked if anyone wanted any! It was only me, and I enjoyed them! They taste of ocean, - and I love the ocean! He served them ready opened, luckily, with some drops of oil and lemon in them! Then one takes a peace of bread and dips in, and kind of scrapes off around inside. Just delicious! As fare as I know there are 3 periods of lent every year; the long one that is now, then a shorter one before Virgin Marias day the 15th of August and a bit longer one before Christmas.        Det er så mye lekkert å spise uten kjøtt. Noen tavernaer har et stort utvalg. En av mine favoritter; κολοκύθια γεμιστά - hos Ta Kimata i Den Gamle Haven. Here are so much lovely food to eat without meat. Some tavernas has a big selection.  One of my favorites; καλοκύθια γεμιστά - at Ta Kimata in the Old Harbor.

Lent på engelsk kan bety lånt bort, eller faste.
