Oh how the taste buds do tingle! You simply must partake in a Greek feast.
The flavors are savory, robust and satisfying.
Yes, I just used multiple adjectives to describe the deliciousness! It's just that good.

ReplyDeleteGreek food could probably be compared to the likes of 'manna', at least I would like to think that! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!! And I don't care how stinky that stinky cheese (feta) is, if I had to live off of that and nothing else for the rest of my days, you should find me with a grin from ear to ear and a vast amount of toothpaste to keep the breath fresh :)
