 Souvlaki

Souvlaki is a thing on a stick or in a pita.  Generally it has meats like lamb and chicken and some vegetables. It is ok. It depends on the restaurant.

Moussaka

Moussaka is like a layered pie or a lasagne.  It has eggplant, sometimes meat and vegetables with potatoes.  It is very good.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a very thick yogurt.  It is plain yogurt.  You add fruit to it sometimes.  Generally you eat it plain.

Feta

Ooooohhhhhh my, Greek feta is soooo good. You just put some Tabasco sauce or olive oil on it. It may sound weird but it is soooo good.

Vasilopita

This is a cake.  You can only find this on New Year’s Eve.  It has a coin in it and whoever finds the coin gets good luck for all of a year.  This is really good.

Melomakarona

This is a cookie.  It is almost like gingerbread, but different.  Once you try it, you cannot stop eating it.  It is really good.

Kourabiedes

A Christmas cookie covered in powdered sugar and inside it’s nuts.  It is okay.

Baklava

It is a really sticky thing.  It is SUPER sweet.  I do not like it. Actually I only like it a tiny bit. It would be good if it was not so sweet.

Now you know all about Greece and its food.
