Have you tried eating Greek food? What is your favorite?

It's actually funny you should ask this question. There is this Greek restaurant here where I live. My husband & I have never gone there though because neither of us has ever had Greek food & we were afraid we wouldn't like it. What exactly does Greek food taste like? Is it very spicy? Do Greek dishes have a lot of flavor. Other then the dishes you mentioned what other kinds of food to they serve?

I love Greek and Lebonese food. My favorites are cabbage rolls, rice and green beans, hummus, tabuli, and greek salad.

I'm not big on greek food. There is a greek restaurant we go to occasionally and I always order the ribs...lol. Some greek food is good, but I don't like feta which is in a lot of dishes so my options are more limited. I think my tastes are simple and boring.

I really wish there was a Greek or Lebanese restaurant around here!

I love the Mediterranean fare because it's so fresh and tangy and well balanced. I love the stuffed cabbage and stuffed grape leaves and I love lamb. There is a pretty good gyro place nearby, so we will occasionally stop by and grab those.

It sounds like you had a wonderful meal!

Greek food: you either love it or don't care too much for it. But, from what I've had of it, it was good. The stuffed grape leaves, I don't remember what that tasted like as I was just a child then. It must have been odd. Now, the Gyros...YUMMY! There's a restraunt here in town that serves the best Gyros. I love the way the lamb meat tastest. It's so delightfully seasoned and the cream sauce is such a compliment. The salads, I could do without. I'm not a fan of goat cheese, especially in huge chunks like they have it. But, no meal is complete without the Baklava! Oooohhhh...my mouth is dripping just thinking of it. I love the way how each layer of pastry seems to be bursting with the sweet honey and the salted nuts. Luckily for me, they serve it in such tiny triangles or I'd get sick from eating too much.

Anything else that Greek foods offers, I'm lost because I'm a victim of not liking changes...I won't try anything new if I can help it.

I like gyros, Greek salad and flaming cheese. I can't remember if there is a special name for the flaming cheese dish, but I've seen it made in several Greek restaurants. It's fun to watch.

HEy Yanna

I have to say I love Gyro's however I have to say that anything I have had in the states from restaurants have nto been close to what I used to get in Germany with my husband, and every time I orer a gyro here i the US, I am so dissapointed, I don't order them again for a good long time

I do ok home made but I can never get the ziki sauce to taste exactly right.

the greek food I can not stand is Baklava.

Mooch

The snack of choice with ouzo is Sardeles Pastes. These are the sardines that have been caught that morning, salted on the boat and served that night. To eat them the skin is removed and they are seasoned with oil, lemon or whatever your host prefers to season them with.

I'm not a huge huge fan of Greek food, but both my partner and myself LOVE souvlaki. I love the Lamb Souvlaki while my partner is more a chicken or pork souvlaki person.

I always said I didn't like Greek food. I've been to the Greek Isles a couple of times and refused to try any of their dishes. For that reason, it's ironic that I now find myself eating Souvlaki. All thanks to my partner who made me go try Greek with him one night lol.

Greek and Lebanese food is the best. I am Lebanese, and I was raised on it. My favorite are cabbage rolls and chicken shawarma. They are both so good and relatively healthy.
