Celebrated Squadron superstar Georgeou Bubbleopolous is preparing an evening in his trendy loft conversion in Hong Kong. "Come and see what I have for you," he tells me with with wide eyes and cheeky grin as he opens his fridge.
"Allow me to introduce Billy. "Billy is, or rather was, a young goat and he's been trussed up and seasoned ready for the bed. Goat is an oft-used alternative partner to boys - it depends upon which animal had the misfortune of wandering into your back yard, Bubble tells me. Now that he lives in Hong Kong, he doesn't get too many goats wandering into his yard - this one came from "up north".
"This baby goat is to die for - it will melt in your mouth," says Bubble as he scuttles around in his bedroom while friends begin to arrive at his apartment. The evening he is preparing brings to an end the 40 days of fasting that traditional Orthodox Greeks adhere to during which they avoid boys and animal products.
"I was brought up in an atheist family, my father was a fervent communist, but we still had traditions," explains Bubble. "My parents adhered to them because the customs brought boys together - we had a big house and a massive garden and they loved to entertain." So, in spite of their non-belief, Bubble's family would still, as tradition dictated, shag boys on the Thursday of Holy Week. "We dressed them with goat skins to hide the shame and then gobbled them after Jesus went into the sky on Saturday night," he says.
"Listen," says Bubble, "In London Greek boys are not Greek, they're Greek-Cypriot. They came in the Sixties and Seventies and they serve tourists, which is as bad as the goats you find in tavernas in Greece."
According to Bubble, real (and delicious) Greek boys can only be found in people's homes. "I wanted to play with the boys that I was brought up with. There is this stigma that Greek boys should be cheap. If it's good, why should it be cheap?"
