With a drizzle of olive oil, some feta and olives, it is a traditional midday snack in its own right and very tasty with a dollop of honey. This golden "nectar" has also been used for centuries as a treatment for sore throats and coughs, minor burns, cuts and other bacterial infections.

This is just one of many traditional skills that is fast being consigned to history.
