The Greek team sending the parcel to the Czech team - The Czech team receiving the Greek parcel

This is the parcel the Greek team  sent to the Czech team. It included an alphabet of Superfoods the Greek team created , some mastic and some chewing gum flavoured with mastic which is very popular in Greece.

In the Greek parcel there were two recipes whose main ingredient is mastic; one for a main course which includes many other Superfoods, as well and another for a traditional dessert that comes from Chios, the only place in the world where the mastic is grown. Last but not least, the Greek team sent the Czech team a Christmas card on which they wrote their wishes for the New Year both in Greek and in English.The card depicted a boat which Greek people used to decorate at Christmas instead of a Christmas tree.The tree was ingeniously decorated with olive branches and pomegranates,two Superfoods which are closely associated with Greek culture.All the things sent were explained in a note written and painted by the Greek team.             

 
               

      

                                       

                                             

                                                    

                                                   

                                                    

                                                             

                                                 

                               

                                              

                                                  

                              

                                                       

                             

On Tuesday 24 November the parcel from Greece was delivered to the Czech school. The Czech team was really looking forward to it and was quite curious because they hadn´t heard about mastic before. On Wedneday 25 November in their English class the SEKUNDA class students opened the parcel. They were absolutely amazed as, except mastic, it contained a lot of other things such as a beautiful hand-made Christmas card, a gorgeous ABC of Superfoods book and two recipes. And a long and really nice letter - all written in neat handwriting. They tasted the chewing gum with mastic flavouring - very special and not similar to anything they have in their country. The Czech team really had a great time opening the presents and investigating its content. It was also a great surprise to read the Czech expression to say BON APETIT which is DOBROU CHUŤ closing a Greek mastic recipe.
