Greek supper

Greek supper

If you come to Greece you shall be astonished by various 
things- I assure you.

One of them will be greek supper. It seems more like some
kind of social evend instead of  plain
meal. That is sheer fest. Hellens( greeks) eat
various dishes to theirs heart content,. They don’t run away from the
table right after they finish their food, but
stay for a long time to talk, laugh and tell stories. They say, big meal
helps them sleep well at night.

They feast after the sunset, at least two hours before
sleep. They eat outdoors on terraces, beaches and such, cause temperature drops
and it is cooler. Greeks always eat  a
lot on their suppers. They are working 10-12 hours a day, so they don’t have
much time to have good meal during the day.

In summer greek are more willing to eat more light suppers.
They will be easier to digest. In winter they rather pick more fatty foods.

Supper usually contains salads, sesame vegetable toasties,
crasserole or grilled meat- seems kinda like
a dinner.

Many Greeks are against this tradition, cause (in their
opinion) it is easy to gain weight after such a supper.
