Its All Greek to me !!!!

Hi guys


I thought that i would take you to a place that has been in the news for all the wrong reasons , Greece a fantastic place that has been suffering with all the financial problems !! but what i can tell you a great place if you want to try some of the best food in the world ;-)


Where do i start you will find some of the freshest produce in the world in this lively country , of course Olive Oil ,Olives, Feta cheese and fish are among some wonderful ingredients.

 I will take you on a short trip to Athens ( Athena as they say in Greece) , the capital and a great palace for all types of markets , fish, veg and meat.Some of the best street food  you have the famous Souvlaki( Donner Kebab to most of you )   usually  made of Pork or chicken stuffed in pita bread and various toppings added, makes me droll at just the thought of it!!!! There are numerous dishes associated with Greece you will normally find Feta in every meal and of course the famous Greek Salad with lunch and dinner. next we a great soup Fasolada ,bean soup and well known as a traditional Greek dish. Baked lamb with potatoes (Αρνί στο φούρνο με πατάτες) there are many added variations to this.Loukoumades similar to donuts, Loukoumades are essentially fried balls of dough drenched in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. this is just a few of the amazing dishes from this great country.

Where to enjoy the evenings well head to the taverna, these places play live music its a great place to see the real Greeks enjoy themselves from 10pm to the early morning , come eat drink the Ouzo(local made spirit very addictive) dont be shy just jump right in and locals make you feel welcome , waking up the next afternoon you will feel a bit worse for were but who cares  ;-)


well until next time


Yamas !!!  cheers to the non Greeks
