My new favorite type of food is...

GREEK.

dude. i've always loved gyros and mediterranean/middle eastern-ish type food from the little i've tried here and there, but tonight i got the urge to try this greek restaurant i drive by all the time and never tried.

damn it was good. had some sort of garlic-lemon eggplant dip with warm pita bread as an app and then i had a stuffed pepper & stuffed tomato with rice and seasoned ground beef and mushrooms. holy fuck. the stuffing was almost sweet...like sugar was in it or something. with greek potatoes (lemon & pepper) and peas.

i can't wait to go back and try something else from there

Hell yes, Greek food is amazing.

Posted by Slylee on Aug-25-2008 02:26:

lol

Yeah it's better at some places than other... when you get a good recipe, it's awesome. Anyone been to Tarpon Springs in FL? It's about 20 minutes north of Clearwater... big Greek community. Best Greek joints I've been to outside of NYC

Dude... caviar? FTL? Are you sick in the head?

I am not a huge fan of russian food, mostly because alot of it is fried.

I like Mediterranean food alot, I also really like Caribbean food.

I don't like caviar but olivye is fucking delish.

Jamie: Cabbage rolls, pelmini (similar to pot stickers but not fried, usually boiled and then once cooked thrown on a pan to firm them), plov (a rice and lamb dish), lots of salads of different types, soups (there are more than just the beat soup everyone thinks of), umm...Denys and Vlad can be a more complete source of the different dishes.

Oh and Tiziki sauce is fucking delish. I love that stuff. Greek food is good.

yea the very first time i ever went to a greek restaurant was when i was in tarpon springs with my dad and his wife and her family. they live there. i was like 19 or so at the time and i didn't really give it a chance. i dunno what i was thinking ordering a chicken ceaser salad lol they had ordered that fried cheese appetizer and i wasn't crazy about it so i played it safe and got the salad.

i'm friends with a couple and the guy is from greece. she isn't greek but they've been together for like 5 years so she has totally mastered all the greek cooking from his mom and family and she always makes good shit when i go there to hang out.

LOL... sorry man I can't handle that smelly fishy taste of cavier, or the consistency. I like the tiny eggs on sushi but that's different. I love pelmeni and some of the salads, soups, etc...

My girl is Russian from Uzbekistan, and I actually think the Uzbek food is 1000 times better. She makes more of that than Russain dishes. Authentic Uzbek food is the best tasting shit I've ever had. I wish it was more accessable

it is very yummy, but i think i still prefer the simplicity of italian cooking..
saganaki owns, i always get that as an entree
and can never go past baklava for dessert
YUM

Anyone who's ever had an original Philly Cheesesteak sandwich will tell you it tastes better than it looks.
