I LOVE this stuff, and I've been waiting for you to post your recipe for this, Ivy! (Very simple, basic, & authentic one too!) Thanks for the extra info in the header notes; I really appreciate it when someone does that!

Thanks a lot kukla, but you must know that there are lots of different recipes for skordalia and the traditional one is with mashed potatoes (instead of bread), all other ingredients are the same and the walnuts are optional.

Hi Ivy, I'm glad you got around to posting this here. It is definitely a most wonderful recipe, the walnuts are so tasty. We get some history and linguistics, too. What more can you ask? Thanks!
