The Pontic Greeks, who originate from the Black Sea region, make a dish similar to kuymak; theirs is called Χαβίτς (pnt), which can be Romanized as chavítz, havítz or khavítz.[5][6][7] Chavítz, like kuymak, is made with butter, cornmeal, cheese, water or milk, and salt. It might also include yogurt, honey, or bacon.[8][9][10][11] Cooked cornmeal sometimes goes by the same name.[12]
