Hi JJ,
There were three siblings, his sister died a bit younger but not by much.
They eat very little sweets over there, so this is like a special treat when they have it.
They do eat a lot of fresh vegetables and not too much meat. In the recipe book I have the recipes use a lot of walnuts, and walnut oil. Oh, and pomagranite.
Our cousin's wife makes a salad she calls French Salad, but in the recipe book I have they call it something else. It's like potato salad but they also add cooked carrots and peas and pickles. (there's more but can't remember right now) It's very good.
The thing I found surprising is that their wine is very sweet, (the one I've tried anyway) I liked it a lot.
