Greek Food

While in Greece I had the pleasure of trying many different types of food that I had never tasted previously. I consumed a lot of french fries, Greek salad, olives, gyros, tzatziki, souvlaki, and moussaka. Greeks love french fries and they are served with many meals. They are typically cut thick and are not especially crispy. Greek salad has lettuce, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, onions, and olive oil. Olives exist in ample amount in Greece and are incorporated some way into every meal. Gyros is a type of sandwich on pita bread with slices of meat, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce. This type of sauce is extremely popular in Greece and is served with almost every meal. This sauce is made from Greek yogurt, garlic, cucumbers, salt, and olive oil. Souvlaki is Greece's version of a shish kebab. Moussaka is a type of casserole with ground meat, pasta, and eggplant.
