OK Then, Greece Needs a Hand

Tesco sell Roussous finest Feta Cheese (barrel aged) ....

cut it in 1 inch strips ... lay it in fresh water for 5 minutes to remove the salt ... (that why many people dislike feta because they dont wash the salt off)

crush some dried oregano in the palm of your hand and sprinkle this over the feta .... drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the cheese and serve it with slices of ice cold ripe sweet watermellon ... or with ripe sweet chilled seedless grapes

 

I never knew that. Personally I quite like it as it is, but then I like far too much salt. I'll have to remember that trick.

 

whilst if you want to help Italy you can buy parma ham, mozzarella, olive oil, pecorino cheese,chianti, spumante and ferrero rocher. Or employ an italian cook for the holidays!!!

 

Is that the British Farmers using all that Dutch & French agricultural machinery, driving round in their Subaru pick ups and spraying their crops with imported chemicals?

 

We could all live on water melon.
Only thing I've seen from Greece in the shops around here.

 

I am about to dump 3k euros on them :-)

Can't wait for real

Don't know what she was whining about, John. At least there was no washing up.

 

That's the one's, seen one farmer buying meat from Argentina yes Argentina,
had to have a word with him for not buying British,being he was one of the farmers on TV telling US to buy British, he was very sheepish

I'am all for helping people but not if the money go's to the wrong people

Back to Greece
where has all the money gone

 

We went to Kalimaki on Zante for the first time in 1989. It was a picturesque little village, totally relaxing and we had a brilliant time.
We wandered the village, the local bus came "Whenever", the electricity failed occasionally but the pools were all available and the beer was cold.
5 years later we were in Laganas and, because it was so busy, drove back to Kalimaki for a nostalia hit.
We were lost. It was huge with hotels all over the place.
I think they just got greedy and lost the plot in relation to why people loved the place.
MOney doesn't always improve things.

 

i can so understand that you can't wait. 5 days will go in a flash - finger crossed for the weather!!!

 

I've only just found this thread. Yesterday , we went to Lidyls and bought a pack of 4 -125g "Eridanous Creamy natural yoghurt".
Had a pot each for brekkie this morning with runny honey.
Yummy
