Gyro-topia!

I cannot count how many gyros we’ve had in the two weeks we have been in Greece. They put french fries inside the pita, genius! So good and so cheap it’s suspicious. They have all kinds of yoghurt and cream sauces that they apply liberally. When school house rock said “don’t drown your food with mayo, ketchup or goo,” they were directing the goo at the Greek. We’ve grown a liking to moussaka, which is like an eggplant and potato lasagne. Souvlaki is also found everywhere and it’s basically shish kebab.

One of my favorite snacks, other than ice cream bars, is corn roasted over wood chips seasoned with a dash of salt. They have sour cherry juice that we are quite fond of too.

We did finally try grilled octopus yesterday and it was rather tasty. Not chewy at all and the suction cups were kinda fun to crunch down on, although they lose their suction when you cook ‘em.
