We are counting down to the famous day of lovers, however many…. of you and us not only do not celebrate Saint Valentine, but I would probably like them to forget the existence of this day after they have “eaten a thousand pies”.
This phrase, which describes love disappointment and rejection, is famous and said a thousand times in fact it was literally created to describe the consumption of an…edible- that cures love pain.
As Nikos Ioannou from “The Chilli Factor Organic Farm” explains, which since 2007, has been growing colorful edible flowers from all over the world on an area of ​​seven acres in New Passengers of Thermaikos municipality – a product that will undoubtedly be utilized and consumed en masse in “festival of love” the origin of the phrase “I ate porridge”, according to Mr. Ioannou, can be traced back to the beginning of the 19th century.
It has a literal meaning because at that time, medical science was not widespread and practical medicine prevailed.
Many, who appeared as ..saviors, were in fact impostors or otherwise compogiannites.
Etymologically, the word Komboiannites comes from the combination of the words Kompono, which means “to bind with magic” and Ioannitis from Ioannina.
The practical healers operating around the Vikos Ravine used roots and various herbs for their medicine and tied the dried herbs into handkerchiefs in the shape of a pouch or knot.
Thus, from the knots, they were called Compogiannites. Later, the term was popularized and used for all empirical “doctors”.
Nenimos of Compogianni, in addition to the seriously ill, also healed those deeply in love. Especially those who had no response.
The “medicine” was a porridge made of wheat or wheat flour, with spices and herbs that was baked in the oven, which the lovers had to consume.
“Thus it became established to say that anyone who fell in love without reciprocation had “eaten porridge” to get over the pain of love”, Mr. Ioannou points out.
