What are a few of the foods you know they eat in Greece?

Gyros.

Baklava.

Greek salad.

Tzatziki. (This is one we are especially proud we can pronounce or spell.)

Let me introduce you to the Souvlaki.

The meat of souvlaki is marinated (with lemon, oil, and spices) steak, chicken, or lamb, placed on a skewer, broiled over charcoal. The bread is  pita bread- thick pockets of dough. Tzatziki can be added to the dish. But you also have onions and peppers to add to it. There’s also lettuce and tomatoes you could add and each place is different in how it will be plated.

It is usually served with fried potatoes or french fries. I’ve found it served at the most unlikely places, but next time you get the chance. Take a chance on it.

So what’s your favorite Greek dish? Where do you get the best Greek food (aside from in Greece)?
