The food of Greece

Of course, the best thing about going to a new country is trying the food.  While in Greece I tried to eat the authentic food- from gyros (or as my sister and Greeks call it, souvlaki), Greek salad, grilled octopus tentacles and Moussaka.

The first night there I ordered Moussaka.  It was very good.  I have been trying recipes at home and will post them in the next blog.

This wasn't Greek, but an Asian entree with  coconut milk and chicken.  This was at a restaurant called The Green Rocket, which had a small menu, but a variety of food.

My sister talking to the one of the owners.

The traditional Greek salad.

Grilled sardines.  I think this was my favorite meal.  For an appetizer we had fried anchovies and then this was my entree.

I didn't get a picture of a gyro.  My favorite one was in Mykonos at a place call Jimmy's.
