Many Greek dishes, you
will find, are made up entirely of vegetables, making them a great
ethnic choice for vegetarians. In the past, refrigeration was hard
to come by, so meat was slaughtered only for special occasions such
as Easter or Christmas.
Nowadays, even with the availability of freezers and refrigerators,
the Greeks still don't consume much meat. As a matter of fact, from
what I have seen from my friends and co-workers, I would say that
they only eat meat 3 or 4 times a week.
Some of these days may be "fast" days, according to the Greek
Orthodox Religion, or quite simply, it's just a preference of taste.
So many of the Greek Vegetable dishes are so hearty that they are a
whole meal, alone.
