Even though that's the joke, that Greeks eat lamb and don't understand vegetarianism, Greeks don't traditionally eat a ton of meat in Greece. It's just that, Greeks don't really understand a diet where anything is restricted. Greeks don't overthink food. They just want it to be delicious, natural, and fresh. Food is often plant based, with meat reserved for special occasions or once in a while. In the coastal areas they also eat a lot of seafood since it is so plentiful.

There are so many vegetarian Greek recipes! My favorites are briam, bamies, fasolia, and xorta. There are so many options! Especially in home cooked food. Taverna or restaurant food is a little more difficult.

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.
