HOME MADE RECIPES: FASTING FOODS FOR LENT

by janetanne

SOMETIMES eating at home is better than eating out. SOMETIMES when you return from a trip to a foreign country, you wish you could make some of those foods that you tasted! SOMETIMES you wish you could find the recipe to that dish. SO, instead of making a normal restaurant tip here, I want to share with you some of my favourite recipes for some of the foods that you might have tried while on your trip to GREECE.SINCE I am writing this during LENT, I thought it would be interesting to share some of the 'nistismo' or 'fasting' food recipes with you. Let me know what you think. HALVAS WITH SIMIGTHALIIn Greek: it is pronounced hal-VAHSS meh see-meegh-THAH-leeHalvas made with semolina, nuts, raisins, and cinnamon is a delightful, grainy textured dessert, and one of the more famous Greek sweets. This version is cooked on the stove, placed in a mold to shape, and served at room temperature....

Olympus Plaza: On your way to Mt. Olympus

by nelinka

Good service at highway From soups try "kotosupa" = chicken soup, from Greek "pitas" (filled pastry) choose the one filled with spinach or white cheese, lickerish ones will probably hardly resist to try some of delicious cakes.

5 Steps In The Sand: Seriously, don't miss the fresh seafood!

by KelseyQ

This place was you guessed it... 5 steps from the sand!The setting is a lovely little bay with fishing boats and sunbathers.We had been driving and this spot looked very busy with the locals which is usually a good sign so we stopped.It was raining when we got there so we had a choice of front row seats as everyone was tucked in the annex across the road. The sun came out so we were in luck!The owner was sweet and accommodating and spoke English, German and Greek.He brought us into the kitchen where we picked out our fish to be prepared to our taste and that had been caught only hours before! It was a feast! I wish I knew the names of the fish.We had several different types and they were all delicious!Very fresh. I recommend having them grilled with lemon and olive oil.Also the Greek salad, of course! The price really depends on how much you order we we quite hungry so the bill was a...

near Acropolis: Don't fall into the tourist trap restaurants

by mho826

ok, the food isn't that bad but the price is similar to what Eden is charging. from our experience, it's better to follow the restaurants recommended in the "top 10 athen's guide". It's really temptingto stop by a convenient res but after tasting the difference betn good and not-so-good food. time spent on searching the restaurants is well spent.

Sala thai: Sala Thai restaurant in KOS city..don't believe it

by dutchasiancouple

Sala thai restaurant in KOS city is the one and only thai restaurant on the island.. DON't believe it! There are no thai people working in the restaurant, there is no thai menu and there is no thai cooking.....The food is very good, but 100 % chinese.Even ordering your meal goes the chinese way...just read the number in the menu !!!The sticky rice they mention has nothing to do with the sticky rice from Thailand....it's just cooked rice.....not the kau niau!!! The salads we ordered were not the thai salads , but looked more like a greek salad......again NO thai food.When you order a spicy meal you just get some extra tabasco !!!Sorry we had no favorite meals here !!The prices are high according to local standards...just a bit extra noodels or rice will cost you 4 euro extra p.p.

my favourite restaurants

by tini58de

my favourite restaurants were always the ones with only few (or ideally no) tourists and no menue:just go inside the kitchen and have a look yourself!Oftentimes we went shopping and bought the local food, like cheese, fruit, saussages and YOGHURT!!! - really enjoyable!

Greek islands eating

by jolou

No specific restaurant as I think I've rarely had a disappointing meal in the Greek islands. Aim for the more traditional greek taverns. Generally, the staff are always friendly and will usually go out of their way to make sure you have something you like. If you don't eat your meal, they will quite often insist on making you something else!! The best places are where you can sit at a table right next to the sea edge. All of it really, but my favourite - tzatziki & pitta bread followed by a chicken shashlik. The free ouzo is worth suffering for the after-effect!
