Skordalia is a traditional Greek dip that is usually eaten with other foods (its too garlicky and strong to be eaten alone like melitzanosalata). It's made with mashed up garlic and blended with potato or bread. I've had it a couple times at restaurants, but I usually don't see people eating it at home. I want to try out a recipe because it's super simple and adds a lot of flavor. What should I pair it with? What is it traditionally paired with in Greece? And are there any more modern combinations that you've tried out and liked?

I love to eat it with the following:
- Seafood (it's a great condiment for fish)
- Served as a dip and I love it with breadsticks
- To me, it goes great with pork
- It's delicious as a part of the plate - works really well next to Horta!
I personally like the creamier versions of skordalia - these are typically made with bread. The mashed potato version doesn't really serve as well as a dip.

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.

How to learn about different regional cuisines in Greece?

I have learned so much about Greek cuisine by being on this forum! I know that there are standard recipes that everyone seems to cook.
For example, you can get souvlaki all over. Everyone seems to serve a village salad with slight variations. Most regions seem to make moussaka. There are tons of others.
I have also noticed that each region has their own specialties. How do you go about learning about them?
