Does anyone know where the best places in Athens are to get "Toast"? I will be staying near the Plaka this time, but the location of the place doesn't matter much.

I make mine at home all the time, but I feel like the Greek versions taste much better. Plus, I like to see what combinations are popular for inspiration for my own.

Greek Dishes that Use Hot Pepper?

I love hot pepper. I am having some buddies over to watch football over the weekend and I want to serve some Greek foods that are on the spicier side. What do you suggest?

I know the roasted red pepper and feta dip has hot pepper. I can't think of anything else. Of course I could also grill and add some hot pepper to the Greek marinade I use. It tastes pretty good. Can you think of anything else?

List of Greek Coffee Drinks

I heard that Greeks have different coffee drinks from what we have. Question - can you go to a cafe and also get some of the coffee drinks we are used to, like a cappuccino or espresso?

Anyway, what are the popular coffee drinks of Greece?

  • Greek coffee made in that little pot
  • Freddo
  • Frappe
Did I miss anything?

How do you make your cabbage salad?

I love Greek cabbage salad. My family makes it very simply with cabbage and a ladolemono. I add feta cheese because, why not LOL.

I have had other versions with other veggies and a different seasoning - like one version I had blended cabbage with carrot and had an apple cider vinegar dressing.

How do you guys do it?

Best Meat for Stifado?

Most of the stifado (Greek meat stew) recipes that I have actually call of rabbit. I live in the United States and it is actually difficult to find rabbit, unless you know someone who hunts. Not only that, but I don't care for rabbit.

I have a friend who uses either beef or lamb for her stifado. I preferred the beef version. I want you guys to weigh in - what do you think is the best meat for stifado? Once I pick a meat to use, can I use the same recipe, and just use whichever meat I pick instead of the rabbit that is in my recipe?

Greek foods for September / October?

What do people traditionally eat in Greece in the months of September and October? Is it still sort of a summer growing season right now? I have a friend who just got back from Greece and said the markets were packed with all veggies and fruits we traditionally think comes from the summer months. She was in Crete and saw a lot of tomatoes, summer squash, other types of squash... she thinks she may have seen some pumpkins too.

Is this normal or is Crete on a different growing season since it is further south?
