Greek Food!



This is Callie again! I dedicated my first full day in Greece to one of my favorite things-food! Everyone has heard of how popular olive oil is here in Greece. They serve it with everything! Dairy products are extremely popular, especially feta cheese. Grain and fiber along with meat and poultry are very common. Vegetables are served with EVERYTHING! and lots of them! Especially spinach. Religion and beliefs have a huge part in Greeks diets. My Grandma made tons of traditional meals. We had roasted lamb and vegetables for dinner followed by a dessert baklava. We've eaten lots of leafy salads with olive oil. So far, all of the food is GREAT! and I can't wait to explore some more!
