What's the word on cooking with Greeks?
Silly question - Feta and the REAL black olives.

3. The GOOD stuff - and fresh oregano if you have it (we grow it).

5. Sure thing :)
The last time I bought them, I had to get "black olives" per the label, but as they're a Mediterranean brand, I suspect they're Kalamata olives, just pitted and sliced. Oh, and the smallest jar was about a gallon. It should last me the rest of the year! :P

6. My eldest daughter (19) spent 10 days in Greece & Turkey in January...
She brought back some kick-ass green olives. Nothing like anything you can get here.
