What Is A Typical Greek Meal?
A typical Greek meal usually consists of several small dishes, including a mezze of various appetizers such as dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), feta cheese, and tzatziki (yogurt dip with cucumber and garlic). The main course usually includes grilled meats, fish, or vegetables, as well as traditional dishes like moussaka (layered eggplant and meat casserole) and pastitsio (baked pasta with meat sauce). Salads, such as horiatiki (Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and feta cheese), are also common on the table. The meal is often finished with a sweet dessert like baklava (filo pastry with nuts and honey syrup) or loukoumades (Greek doughnuts with honey syrup).
