Seeing that I was absent for long, I was about to go on a long Mediterranean food journey through Greece describing all the exotic and awesome food that I'd tried...
The land of Alpha, Beta, Gamma
...before I realised, I can't actually remember much about Greek food.
Not that there is nothing special to eat in Greece, its just that we didn't have much opportunity to savour them - with the paid for hearty cruise meals that we were entitled to.
My daily cruiseship Greek appetizer - Pita bread with tzatziki and other delicious sauces. Can't resist.
But there were two Greek cuisine that was etched on my mind though - apart from the rather delicious cheap McD chicken burger there of course.
First of all, you can't go wrong with souvlaki. (or gyros? I am still confused at the difference)
Pardon my unappealing photo, can't wait to munch it.
Pretty similar with kebab, this grilled and succulent piece of meat (and some greens too..pfft) wrapped in pita bread is one of the most inexpensive and tasty fast food found in Greece.
Preparing those mouth watering souvlaki and gyros
I believed I gorged on a couple of these fantastic meat during my days in Athens. The hot juices and sauce that splurt out of those pita, orgasmic I assure you, if done well.
The next on the list would be this thing here:
Ok, I don't know about you but when I ordered grilled octopus, I was expecting to see at least parts of an octupus body, like those seasoned Japanese octopus in medium size you know. Hell'a', not just ONE freaking tentacle! To think I have to share this dish as well.
It was pretty pricey as well. Possibly the most expensive body part I'd eaten ever. Quite yummy though.
Oh, I remembered another Greek dish I'd tried. Something that looked like the lovechild of pasta and lasagna called the Pastitsio.
As the description suggest, it tasted just like lasagna mashed with loads of pasta stuffed into its gut. Quite a filling dish nonetheless.
Despite the fact that my taste bud did not go wild during my time in Greece, rest assured, my eyes did. Greece is a pretty pretty place.
But of course, I will leave it till next time. Procrastination rocks.
