St Andrews Day


Quick - break out the dough and the honey.
It's the eve of the Feast of Saint Andrew, and a custom recently revived on the Greek island of Rhodes insists that if you don't make loukamades - fried honey doughnuts - today, the saint will knock holes in your frying pan. (The iron kind, not the ancient so-called Cycladic frying pans.)

St Andrew is of course not just the patron saint of Scotland, but also of Patras
