Mezze

It's hard to know where to begin when describing this typical Greek feast which is  for two people or more.

Three options are available - Apollo's Feast  for meat lovers, Poseidon's Feast for those of you who love fish and Artemis's Feast for vegetarian foodies.

A typical Apollo's Feast selection might be:

Four dips - taramosalata, houmous, tzatziki, melitzanosalata

followed by 

a plate of mixed goodies such as kalamaria, filo pastries, meatballs, dolmades

followed by

some grills such as souvlaki and lamb chops

followed by 

more main dishes such as chicken Hydra and stifado

and, of course, 

a proper Greek village salad

followed by (if you have room!)

a selection of Greek sweets such as baklava, kataifi and galaktoboureko.

Notice that these are all 'ands', not 'ors'!  You really do need a hearty appetite and plenty of time to do the mezze justice!
