I am surprised that you know the names! :D
No feta or saganaki due to the religion restrictions of that day my fellow pipe smoker,, below is the list in english:

Fried squid
Homemade bread
House wine
Homemade tomato salad
Halvah
Preserved fish roe
Beans in tomato sauce
Homemade olives
Homemade lemons
Coke
Homemade dolmades [rice with vine]

What's missing? The pickle, sea urchin, sea shells. Did you eat in your country that day similar meal?

I was working in Crete from 1991-1996 like a season worker from april till octobre. Mostly barman. wow.. That was real life...
And I like greek cuisine. For me much more pristine than Italian. I like both BTW, verrrry much.
I still have a taste in my mouth of grilled octopus, tzatziki, lamb chops, all kinds stifado, horiatiki, tiropites, spanako.....and fresh vegetable which is imposible to buy in shops these days.
I grow my own vegetable this days but sun on Crete is something diferent. Homemade tea with all those herbs and honey from the mountains,....unforgetable.
Kotosupa early in the morning with a peace of lemon...

In my country we have diferent cuisine. Between the mountains, cold winters....Sea is only for tourist...hahaha
also that day I don't realy remember what we eat but probably you are ortodoks and my country is catolic, so we have different habits...
But I cook a lot of greek food. Specialy in summer time.

Fried squid looks like saganaki shrimps and halva like feta cheese.

INDEPENDENCE WAR of 1821

As today at 25 March 1821 the Orthodox Greeks officially start the revolution against the ottoman empire fighting turks and their allies [muslims from albania,bosnia,egypt,croatia etc] to get their Freedom.

Greeks established colonies at the today's South Italy, those colonies called Magna Graecia.Among the religion,code dress,ethics,alphabet,music etc the Greeks transferred to the shepherds there what we call today "cuisine", don't forget that Gastronomy is a Greek word.Comes from Gaster [stomach] and Nomos [rule] and the first who wrote a relative book was a Greek named Archestratos.
In Creta for sure you will have taste the "Ntakos"

is the progenitor of the today's pizza and keep in mind that we still cook pasta after the memorial 40 days after a funeral as the ancient fathers did.I am happily surprised that you have been here in Greece and you like our products and way of life, best regards to you File mou and your family.

Re: What Pipe Tobacco Did You Smoke Today?

Politics posts are "vote for A in the elections" or "support the B party" or "i think the C president must help the D country against the E in the F crisis" etc.
When a Scout band from a foreign country plays the same song [with similar instruments as my ancestors did for thousand years] for a War that my grandfather participated is History.
I thought that a typical word of the tobacco that we smoking won't add anything or enrichment a thread but if that's the appropriate OK from now on only a word:

While we disagree on what "politics" means, Thank you for understanding.
