I will start the new year with Greek food.

Ever since I found the pilo dough in my freezer, I have been wanting to cook a more complex dish. I am now reading Greek dishes and they sound wonderful. Dixie has told me several times that a Greek cook taught her several Greek dishes when she was young. Now I am also checking them because they seem to be not only delicious but healthy. Have you eaten Greek food? What? Did you like it?

Although I don't often have it, we love Greek food! There are Greek restaurants here, but mainly we have gotten our Greek food from Greek festivals. I love meats with rice or pita bread with - so anything in the way of that with a yogurt cucumber dip (tzatziki) like gyros is yummy. I love stuffed grape leaves - is it dolmas - various cultures have their version of it. I have yet to make any Greek food at home .

I have never made Greek food either. But it might be a new year idea.

@much2say I have made moussaka. It is my only Greek dish and it is delicious. A sort of eggplant lasagna.

Yes, I've had Greek food but never in an authentic Greek restaurant. A friend lived in Greece for 7 years and would recreate some of the popular dishes and I really enjoyed them all.

@Lushlala It is very similar to lasagna. The white sauce has different spices though.

@florelway None. They have their own spices. They use nutmeg a lot.

I haven't tried Greek food before. Is it something special for Greek food? But I know that the Hawaiian was created by a Greek

Yes, I have and it is really good. I love a Greek salad and Gyros are good. Everything I ever had that was considered to be Greek is delciious. I also love a egg and lemon soup. I made it here once, and it was delciious the first day, but then the eggs congealed so I had to throw the rest out.

I am not sure if I am entirely familiar with most Greek food, but I am sure I have eaten it even if I did not necessarily know it was Greek.
