[Sca-cooks] Mastic

[Decker, Terry D.]

Tsoureki.  It's an Easter bread.  I've never seen it, tasted it or made it.
Mastic is used as a flavoring agent in Greek baking and candy making.

I finally remembered where I saw an interesting little piece on mastic and
Greeks, http://www.kal69.dial.pipex.com/ppc67.htm#Petits
