    Mezedes
    -

    Sadziki (tsa-tsi-key): Yogurt, cucumber and garlic, and salt. Great on fresh
    Greek bread.
    Melitzana Salata (mel-its- zan -na sal- ah -ta): Eggplant salad. Like
    Babaganoush in the middle east. Eaten on bread.
    Tarama Salata (tah-rah- moh- sal- ah -tah): roe of carp. Greek caviar.
    Don't be afraid to try it. It doesn't taste like you expect. Eaten on bread.
    Saganaki (saga- nah -ki): fried cheese. Sometimes comes with tomato
    sauce. I like it plain with lemon.
    Capari Salata (cap-ah-ri sa- lah -tah): Caper salad. Sifnos specialty. Goes
    on bread.
    Tiro Salata (tee-row sa- lah -tah): Cheese salad. Strong sometimes spicy.
    Spread on bread
    Olives (el- ies ): a hundred different varieties. Don't say you don't like
    olives until you have tried them all. You may find one you can't live
    without.
    Casseri(kah- seh -ree) Soft cheese like mozzerela.
    Keftedes (kef- teh -des): Deep-fried Meatballs. Other areas have their
    own variety of keftedes. Sifnos has Revithiakeftedes (reh-veeth-yakef- teh -des), made from chickpeas. Santorini has Domatokeftedes (thomah-toh-kef- teh -des) made from Tomatoes. There are also Tirokeftedes
    (tee-row-kef- teh -des) made with cheese and psarokeftedes (psah-rowkef-teh-des) made with fish. They are all delicious.
    Spanakopita (span-ah- koh -pee-tah) Spinach pie
    Tiropita (tee- row -pee-ta): Cheese pie
    Kreatopita (krey-ah- toh -pee-tah): Meat pie
    Choriatiki Salata (hoe-ree-ah-tee-key sa- lah -tah): Village salad or what
    we in America call a Greek Salad, except here you usually don't get
    lettuce. It generally consists of Tomatoes(tho- mahtes),Cucumbers(an- goo -ree), Onions(crem- ee -thya), Feta, Oil( la -thee),

    vinigear ( ksee -dee) and olives(ill- yes ). Sometimes they leave off the
    feta so you have to ask for it and they charge you extra. When I order I
    ask for a hoe-ree-ah-tee-key meh feh-tah, a village salad with feta, just to
    avoid this. If you want it without any of the above items just tell the
    waitor: hoe- ris (without) and the name of the item.
    Lakanika (la- cah -nee-kah): Cabbage salad.
    Horta ( hoar -ta): Boiled greens. Very healthy and good with lemon, oil
    and vinigear.

    eaten with a spoon or with bread.

    seasoned with oil, lemon and sometimes vinegar.
    Patates Tiganites (pa- tah -tes tee-gah-nee- tes ): fried potatoes. Greek
    french fries blows MacDonalds away. It must be the oil.

    sometimes ground beef.
    Macaronia (mak-ah- ron -ya): Spagetti as we call it. Served with ground
