Greek breakfrast

Greek diet is considered one of the best diets in the world according to UNESCO and having brought up with a mother coming from a village I can assure you that all Greek meals are extremely healthy. One main reason is that the climate helps for the cultivation of highly nutritious agricultural products. Most Greeks who live in cities have some relatives or their own fields in villages therefore they have access to some kind of vegetables, fruit or olives/olive oil which I can assure you is the best in the world. Our relatives often send us oranges and olive oil but we also make marmelades from fruit of my mother's garden.

Greek breakfast is usually very simple but very nutritious. Ours contain milk or greek coffee, bread with honey -a family friend has beehives and we get some excellent honey from Igoumenitsa- Sometimes we eat yoghurt with honey and some dry fruit and some other times we eat cheese.There are times that we prefer greek cookies. My favourite are moustokoyloura. I will find the recipe and I will post it later.



We like bread in the morning or fryganies (rusks.) Home made sandwiches with ham cheese (I prefer graviera) and vegetables are very common. Cheesepie and Spinachpie is another option or if you want something sweet bougatsa (cream pie) is delicious and perfectly combined with greek coffee.



For those who are going to stay in our apartment we can give a list of shops or producers where they can buy local products from. We can also show them where we usually buy food from near our house so that they can get a local taste.
