Opyos exi poli pipperi, vani kai sta horta.

(S)He who has a lot of pepper, (also) puts its on his greens.

Deriving from WWII, when supplies of pepper where non-existent on Kythera.

When you have a lot of any item, you can afford to do with it what you will - even put it on your "horta" - a vegetable item on which pepper is normally not poured.

Those who have plenty....can do what they want.

"Opyos exi poli pipperi, vani kai sta horta".
