Edible souvenirs

Forget about fridge magnets and ashtrays - when Christos and I go somewhere, the only souvenirs we buy are edible.
So also at Limnos. A bottle of that great white wine we were served during our fish lunch on a beach side taverna. It´s called Limnia Gi, which means The Earth of Limnos. I´ll save it for my birthday.
The famous goat and sheep cheeses Kaskavali and Melichloro. Rye rusks. And another island specialty: A sort of pasta called Flomaria, which is made from a wheat sort that only grows in Limnos.
And when we have eaten and drunk it all we have an excuse to go back...Limnos is worth a second visit, and not only because of the food and wine.
