Imagine yourself
relaxing beachfront in a quaint little Taverna, listening to the
sound of the waves gently breaking on the white sandy beach.
Sitting with you are a half dozen or so friends, new and old, whose
company and conversation you enjoy.
A plump little man comes towards you, balancing a handful of small
glasses and a carafe of chilled home made Ouzo. Following close
behind are his sons with trays of food.
A warm breeze blows and you take a deep breath as the aroma of his
wife's cooking invades your senses. Your mouth begins to water when
you see the plates of food, an assortment of dishes, all
different.... The Mezedes are here.
Great little daydream isn't it ? Yet, for many Greeks, this
celebration of life is a reality of Island life in Greece. To the
Greeks an appetizer isn't just something before a meal, nor is a
salad just a bowl of assorted vegetables with topping. The Greeks do
not necessarily separate the two. There are fantastic appetizers
which qualify as salads, and vice versa. And it is not uncommon to
make a meal out of an assortment of Mezedes.
