It is only recently you found those in the summer. Even now the cabbage is not the best and lettuce is expensive.<br />Chips on every plate is a recent invasion too though young greek kids were almost brought up on chips 20 years ago. Taramousalata is almost impossible to find in the summer and the sort you find is very artificial from some great catering container.<br />Every season has its delights......but greek salad you find all year round lollocal alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586011850451326646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-38702894997016996222017-07-20T15:05:45.918-07:002017-07-20T15:05:45.918-07:00Oh ok I must be the only non Greek salad lover 😀....Oh ok I must be the only non Greek salad lover 😀.<br />Just find it boring.

Eat what you like! <br />The only thing I have against eating traditional is that it gets a bit boring.

I love a Greek salad, but here in Canada, it is offered at most restaurants with more lettuce than other vegetables. I didn't know it is supposed to be just olive oil! I do have a question about potatoes. At "authentic" Greek restaurants and Bourdain also refered to them, I've had potatoes done just perfectly. They seemed to be yellow flesh potatoes. Is there a traditional way of preparing them? -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-6686331975715536292017-07-20T00:07:53.524-07:002017-07-20T00:07:53.524-07:00Dipping bread in oil is no different to the bread ...Dipping bread in oil is no different to the bread and dripping which I grew up on. I think the trouble with this country is that we have forgotten all the good things about the food traditions we once had (been told they are bad for us and believed it) when in fact we used to be a lot healthier than we are now. Sad. I keep mostly to the food my mother prepared and am thought decidedly odd!
