LONDON STREET FOOD, SOUVLAKI, AMAZING GREEK FOOD, GREEK FOOD IN LONDON, GREEK CUISINE, STREET FOOD IN LONDON, CAMDEN MARKET, Greek cuisine is a Mediterranean cuisine.[1] It has some common characteristics with the traditional cuisines of Italy, the Balkans, Israel, Turkey, and the Levant. Contemporary Greek cookery makes wide use of vegetables, olive oil, grains, fish, wine, and meat (white and red, including lamb, poultry, rabbit and pork). Other important ingredients include olives, cheese, eggplant (aubergine), zucchini (courgette), lemon juice, vegetables, herbs, bread and yoghurt. The most commonly used grain is wheat; barley is also used. Common dessert ingredients include nuts, honey, fruits, and filo pastry. Typical dishes[edit] Greek cuisine is very diverse and although there are many common characteristics amongst the culinary traditions of different regions within the country, there are also many differences, making it difficult to present a full list of representative dishes. For example, the vegetarian dish "Chaniotiko Boureki" (oven baked slices of potatoes with zucchini, myzithra cheese and mint) is a typical dish in western Crete, in the region of Chania. A family in Chania may consume this dish 1-2 times per week in the summer season. However, it is not cooked in any other region of Greece. Many food items are wrapped in Filo pastry, either in bite-size triangles or in large sheets: kotopita (chicken pie), spanakotyropita (spinach and cheese pie), chortopita (greens pie), kreatopita (meat pie, using minced meat), kolokythopita (zucchini pie) etc. The Greeks do with filo what the Italians do with pizza; They have countless variations of pitas (savory pies). Even the word pita was originally spelled πίττα (pitta), which shows a similarity to pizza. The areas with the largest tradition of making Greek pitas are the North-Western (Hepirus) and Central Greece (also called Roumeli). Also, a big part of the Greek Cuisine are seeds and nuts. Seeds and nuts are included in everything from pastry to main dishes.[13] The list will present some of the most representative Greek dishes that can be found throughout the country and the most famous of the local ones: Breads[edit] Lagana, a type of bread Daktyla Eliopsomo, bread with olives Paximadi, Cretan bread Karydopsomo, bread with walnuts Lagana Pita Stafidopsomo, bread with raisin
