Greek Food
A
meal in Greece is highlighted with a selection of hot and cold known as
mezedes. Soups are few but they are meals by themselves.
The main
course is a boiled or grilled
meat/fish. There are also many delectable meat stews to choose from, as
well as plain grilled cuts of meat and of course the well known charcoal
grilled lamb or pork called souvlaki.
Fish and shellfish are excellent
in any kind of cooking.
Salads are usually ordered with the main course and can consist fresh
vegetables or cooked dandelions .
Horiatiki,
the traditional Greek salad, consists of tomato slices, cucumber slices,
olives, peppers, onions and feta cheese dressed with oil and vinegar.
Cheese,
the most commonly offered in restaurants are feta (white semi-soft
and salted), graviera (yellow hard), kasseri (yellow
semi-soft), and manouri (unsalted creamy and fattening).
Desserts,
are a delectable treat, including baklava (consisting of strudel leaves
and walnuts) and kataifi (which consists of nuts wrapped in shredded wheat
with a honey sauce).
During the summer as desserts are preferred large peaches , watermelonmelon,
grapes and pears
Greek coffee
is like Turkish coffee. Greek coffee is always served with a glass of
water.
There is a wide variety of eating establishments in Greece:
Tavern,
eating establishment with emphasis on the traditional cooking and mezedes.
Psistaria,
a barbecue style eating place.
Estiatorion (restaurant), a conventional eating establishment.
Psarotaverna (fish
tavern), they specialise in
fish and almost found by seaside or harbour side.
Prices and Tipping,
in Greece a 15% service charge is usually included in your bill.
Menus are usually presented with two parallel price charts. On the left
the price of the food and drink. On the right the same price with service
and tax included. The service charge is ordained by Greek law so additional
tipping is really a recognition of special service for special requests.
