a culinary feast

"a culinary feast prepared in the way of their ancestors" that's what we were promised in Cilipi at our second dinner at a family owned agrotourist establishment.  The food was delicious to be sure and the singing (by two men of the household) was highly entertaining but I found myself thinking that their German/Austrian heritage was showing.  This and several other meals consisted of a very nice salad, usually with cucumber and tomatoes, meat, potatoes and some kind of greens (chard or spinach) and a fruity coffeecake type dessert, with plenty of wine, of course.  It was delicious but no better that many meals I remember as a child cooked by my mom or one of my aunts "prepared in the way of their ancestors".  I guess I didn't know how good I had it.
