Journeys In Greek Food
Our very good friend Terrie, food specialist and food historian, always wants to know more about our food experiences on our travels, so this post is for you, Terrie.
Taking time to travel through a country brings with it interesting regional variations to cuisine, and our recent Greek trip was a good example. Some dishes stayed pretty constant, some showed subtle changes as we moved through the regions, others were peculiar to a specific region and disappeared from menus as we moved on.

Fabulous, I will have the stuffed squid and a glass of Mythos please.
Phil & Michaela
Certainly Sir. May I also recommend the cuttlefish in ouzo, just one stop short of mind blowing….
Andrew Petcher
Ouzo is a fascinating drink.. In Greece I drink it for the first two days and then say NO MORE!

Oh dear me … we are close to dinner now and I am incredibly hungry after looking at your delicious food! I love meat, but I have to say that the fish dishes are so well presented (I looked twice at the stuffed squid)! And the salads … even the Greek salad looks different (and tastier) than I’m used to! Great selection of photo’s!
Phil & Michaela
Thank you! There was some delicious stuff in amongst that lot!

Such an array of tasty dishes. Greek cuisine is one of my favourites and if there’s rice pudding on the menu even better. What a feast you had every day
Phil & Michaela
Well not quite every single day…but lots of tasty stuff, yes!
