Ayrani is popular, but is more of a generic Mediterranean/middle Eastern drink. I'm looking for something with more specific ties.
Everything else has had at least one correct guess.
Preserved pork: Chiromeri
Cheese: Halloumi
Tobacco: Latakia
Alcoholic mixed drink: Brandy Sour
Wine: Commandaria
Non-alcoholic drink: If not Ayran, perhaps Cypriot Coffee (sometimes as a Frappe)?

Thanks for playing, everyone!
The country in question is the island of Cyprus. It has an amazing history and culture. This contest brought back a lot of good memories, and a big desire for their meat and cheese!
Thanks for hosting! And I feel like I learned a lot about an interesting place in the process, way cool contest!Quote:

A very very very nice pipe!
and a Tabak Red Eye Cigar
Thank you very much Bryan for the wonderful and generous prize! I have a cheapo pipe and bought some Drew Estate pipe tobacco for it. Smoked a couple bowls and that is my pipe resume. Man this pipe tobacco aroma blows away the Drew Estate tin. I can see why a pipe is another great option! I'd love if you would share a little history about the pipe you included.
