That's what we had lots and lots of in Cyprus. But too much squid wasn't a very good idea. I got the worst stomach cramps and couldn't eat almost anything until late the following evening.

Salad is for rabbits. I want real vegetables.

I must say I haven't been to a Greek restaurant in years because of bad experiences. May it's better now.

When I think of Greek food, I start to crave moussaka! Unfortunately, there are no decent Greek restaurants in my area.
