Guys, whats the tradition of eating "leftovers" after midnight mass ??

Who invented the dish, and what is the history behind it?

btw, i dont touch the stuff

JJ, mageritsa is not leftovers, its a meal made out of adera or intestines. As for the tradition and where it comes from, i have no idea? Id say it comes from being poor in the old times and all they could afford were the adera. Who knows. But it would be interesting to find out.

personally i cant stand the stuff either. yuck.

lol........... Interesting, JJ have a read about the tradition behind "MAGERITSA" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IS THIS TRUE VRE? YUK LUCKY I DONT TOUCH THE STUFF....... ILL MAKE IT, BUT AFTER SEING WAT GOES IN THE POT, NOT TO MENTION, MY TWISTED MIND OF AMUSEMENT (AFTER THE HEART AND LUNGS ARE BOILED, I USUALLY B4 CUTTING THEM UP INTO TINY PEICES, I TEND TO PLACE THEM ON ME IN PROPORTION AND LIE DOWN ON THE COUCH TILL MY MUM SEES ME AND CHUCKS A FIT) BUT ANY HOW JJ READ IT LOL

OMGGGGGGGG MAGERITSA every year when i go to melb for easter thats what we eat at my thea n theos place lmaooooooo. Mageritsa its ok lol maybe coz i was hungry at 1am if it tastes nice i eat LOL!
Is there HEARTS AND LUNGS coz i eat it wid bread!

heart lungs, livers and intestines really doesnt do it for me. i hate it. my mum loves it, but she makes augolemoni instead for us. unless we go to our koumbari for anastasi then i just eat tiropites and whaver els they hav.

Am I the only mageritsa lover........ Yummmmmmmmmmmmm I have made sure that I can clean the stuff and cook it for when all the oldies are gone.... Its one tradition I would never give up... my mageritsa at anastasi.......

I reckon Stella me & you are the only mageritsa lovers here hehehe

YUK I can't stand the stuff, not to mention the stench of it when it's cooking.

My mum makes avgolemono for the mageritsa haters lol

i haven't been game enough to try it yet...

its just the thought of eating insides

oh and the fact that i watch it being made and yes everyone, anes really does do that ith the body parts always tries to freak me out, the heart especially....ba bom, ba boom, i'm just waiting for this thing to explode one dy and go all over her and her mum chase her out the house with a rolling pin

until then i also stick to augolemono soup, mmmmmmm and the other two tables filled with food

i dnt think much of the younger generation really like the stuff, but i hope the tradition is still kept, and although i wouldn't like it, if it meant keeping the tradition alive i would make it, i just wont get anes to teach me

The only greek girl that I know pou xeri ke troi...... magkia sou

yuppppp everyone else is missing out hehe :dance:

I eat it at easter. I don't mind it but I don't know how to cook it though.

YUCK KEEP THAT SKATA AWAY FROM ME I CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF IT LET ALONE THE SMELL!!!! YUCK IT'S HORRID STUFF BLAHHHHH **RUNS AWAY** :Various_Artists-yucky:

*dvs dips the spoon into the Mageritsa and into K23Q's mouth hahaha*

lmaooooo yuck yuck yuck... dvs shoush u lol

ewwwwwwwww

I USED TO EAT THAT STUFF WEN I WAS YOUNGER, IT WAS NICE BACK THEN , UNTIL LATER WEN I GOT A BIT OLDER AND I FOUND OUT EXCATLY WAT WAS IN IT .... :Various_Artists-yucky: :Various_Artists-yucky: MADE ME REALLY SICK. PASS ME SOME KOTO SOUPA INSTEAD!

Magiritsa is only supposed to have small (very small) peices of meat in it. My mum makes it really nice, I love it, you can't really taste the meat so it just tastes like avgolemono. Must have every year...

its almost MAY Mageritisa time LOL!!!!

Yes DVs, the forty days called the Sarandakosti began, fasting time now

Oh ok i didnt no lol

I've never had mageritsa, never intend to either, now matter how traditional/religious my future wife winds up being. There's a line that I don't want to be crossed, lol

having said that I love meat pies at the footy,

i will eat it at easter only... i dont eat the meaty bits lol just the zoumi the soupa lol

i will try it one day...but for now i'll stick to augolemono

augolemono does it for me :cool2: love it!

Guys it depends on how each family makes magiritsa.

My parents only put the liver and lungs and they boil it forever so all the crap can come out before actually putting any other ingredients in it. ITS THE BEST SOUPA I KNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....

Anyway, just to be a party pooper LOL, dont u all eat KOKORETSI? well hello what the hell do u think that is made of? fairy floss? no. its intestines wrapped around slices of cow's heart, liver, lungs, brains, u name it from cow or sheep and thats in it. But again the ingredients depend on each family. My dad turns the intestines inside out and washes them a million times.
DAMN IM GETTING HUNGRY GAMOTO

i don't eat kokoretsi that's disgusting...

A BIG SPOON FILLED WITH MAGIRITSA IS GOIN TO GO INTO K23Q'S MOUTH IN A FEW WKS HEHEHEHEHEHE

That's pretty much it, although my parents don't put brains in it or I won't eat it...I love magiritsa and kokoretsi...best foods, too bad my mum insists on only making them once a year....

Can't wait, saturday is almost here and Sunday is after saturday....

No one in my family eats mageritsa after the midnight mass, i dont think ive ever tasted the stuff

Every year instead of mageritsa we have Koto-Soupa (chicken soup)

Its sickk, my mum makes it the best

Easter would not be Easter without mageritsa...it wouldn't feel right...

It's good Friday where we can't even touch oil for crying out loud and I'm reading bout mageritsa and kokoretsi... I'm outta my fuckin mind...

my pappous kokoretsi is famouse, he makes it the Best...or so iv heard, everyone asks for it and in greece back in the xorio he would make it for everyone. Iv never eaten it but everyone in my family is crazy for it. my pappou says that on my 18th hes gonna bring me some n i have to taste it.

my thia mad magiritsa for my dad cos hes the only one that eats it and she brought it over while we were having our avgolemono.

Same, rocks with plenty of bread, and the fact the house doesnt wreek of magerista

I ate my mageritsa and I enjoyed it.

Me, mum, dad and my cousin's hubby whos Scottish. The others had koto soupa

Ate it plenty yesterday...and there's more left...I think I'll head to the kitchen now

lol well easter is over...... But this year i actually learnt to make the stuff, every other year i contributed in some way by either cutting insides up, washing the andero, making the bread or fila 4 the pites (like a pure little nikokira)..........

But this year i realised, our parents arent getting any younger and touch wood you dont know what the future holds.

So I thought it was time i learnt the tradition, as its been at my mothers house religiously every year, and seeing as my sister being older you'd think she'd carry the tradition on... but never the less.

This year i learnt how to make it, and even though i dont eat the stuff, im glad i learnt it and can carry on the tradition for years to come followed by zimoto psomi (home made bread) and any pita of your desire. So this year i am proud to say i got something out it. I still dont know why the hell the stuff is cooked or even allowed to be sold in butchers or actually the karpouza (bankstown plaza).

Next year if im still alive and kicking I will be making it myself under the adult supervision of corse from none other my mother, so may the gods be with me on this 1. till then only god knows wats to come.

mpravo paidi mou!!! now heres a nice greek woman, this is for the rest of you that cant even cook popcorn without burning it!!!!
learn the τσελεμεντε like its your bible!!!!

That's freakin awesome...I'm gonna have to do the same at some point...

im the next in line after anes...oxx....

but like anes i wouldn't want the traditon to die out and i would be happy to learn to make it in the future even though i dont eat it...i might try it one day but u cant beat a nice kotosoupa...i've already learnt how to make avgolemono but i don't think i'll attempt to learn mageritsa for a few years yet...at the moment i've just stuck to the washing of towers of bowls and plates...and all the other little things...mageritsa is far off at the moment lol

lol cuz, looks like when im old cant move anymore, ill probably be teaching you, my daughter (if i have 1) or your daughter how to carry on the tradition. lol glyk i tried it (mageritsa that is) while i was serving it in the bowls i thought wat the hek and gave it a go. its ok not bad, but i wont be eating bowls full any time soon. i made the avgolemono too lol, and it didnt kopsi (thank god) Glyk as 4 next year im making the kotosoupa with kritharaki i dont like it with rice damn you kids and your rice!!!! and next year glyk YOUR COMING DOWN AND HELPING US!!!! im gonna make u cut up the hearts, lungs and andera in tiny cubic sqaure pieces. and you are going to ksisi the kolokithia 4 me with a koutali so i can make the pites lol.

Well im proud to say i can cook most traditional greek foods, there not as hard as they seem. Once you put ur mind to it you can do anything .

Vaggos, i still gota make gemista 1 night 4 dinner and you will be my food critic. Ive never made them as yet only ever contributed. So this is my next mission.

Make me pastichio, and im coming over now to line up

anes u knw this is the first yr we didn't come down (surprise surprise lmao) and im usually stuck cutting the cheeses, like that year thia made kasiropita, i have no problem, i've stuck my hand in mageritsa water (when ur washing the dishes and the sink fills with mageritsa bits lol, our family doesn't beleive in dishwashers its all manual lol) im sure i can handle cutting it up...and you and ur bloody kritharaki!!!!! rizi kicks arse but anyways i'll help you avgokopsi it, as long as ur mum teaches me how to make xortopita cos to this day i havnt tasted a better one....

I can teach you I think ive mastered it

As for you JJ lol @ pastitio, I will make it, and invite you over 4 dinner in the sometime near future. hows that?????

Mageritsa is bad at the best of times, leftovers make me feel like im gona puke.



Im still waiting mori.
