    Thanks for the enlightenment! Interesting – I could have got 2 from recognising Italian, and 3 from knowing a Mazurka was a Polish dance. I should have remembered Pilaf.

    As if the Tartare bit is not bad enough, they add insult to injury with a raw egg!!!
    That is indeed a dish not for the faint hearted 😉

    I think I’ll give the Greek Easter soup a miss and eat chocolate cheesecake instead. 🙂 Thanks for the answers, PPD. I’ve learnt something. Let’s hope I can remember some of it. 🙂
