Which teas are the most popular in Greece to drink? I love tea, and I will be in Greece soon.

Trying to figure out what I should bring, and then what I can take home from Greece. I drink green tea and chamomile tea all the time. I'd be lost without chamomile. I remember seeing it a lot in Greece...

I remember seeing Greek mountain tea a lot while in Greece. Any others to look out for?

I see a lot of chamomile, mountain tea, and green tea when I am in Greece. I have also seen mint in some places, as well. Tea seems somewhat popular!

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?

Easy Saganaki Recipe

I thought I'd share a simple method for how I make saganaki. I have had different versions of this, I honestly like other versions better, but this is the easiest for me to do!

I slice one of these cheeses thick:

Kefalotyri, Graviera, or, Kefalograviera

Then I dip it in water on each side and coat it in flour that had been seasoned with salt and pepper.

I add olive oil to a small frying pan and set the heat on medium high. When the oil is hot I add the cheese. Basically, I sear it like I would anything else and serve it hot. It's fast and easy and a crowd pleaser - I do this when I have company.

I have never doused it in Ouzo and set it on fire like they do in restaurants, I am legitimately concerned I might burn my hair or something! Should I add this step, though? I could always tie my hair back...

Grilling a whole chicken?

I have to feed a crowd soon and I decided to grill whole chickens... I am trying to figure out the best way to do it. I need to grill maybe 4-5 whole chickens. I don't have a spit.

I was thinking to butterfly them and marinate them in a ladolemono, then grill them until they're cooked, rotating them often. Do you think this will work?

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?

Do Greeks use sourdough starter?

I read in a cookbook that Greeks sometimes use a sourdough-like starter to make some of their breads.

I didn't realize this. Also, is this really true?

I do detect a bit of a "flavor" sometimes, like sourdough, when I am eating bread in Greece.
