The purpose
of the meze is two-fold: to complement and enhance
the taste of the drink (wines, ouzo, beer, etc.),
and to provide the backdrop for a social gathering.
Unlike appetizers which are intended to whet the appetite
for the meal to come, it is common for groups of family
and friends to gather or go out for mezethes, share
several of these delightful dishes, a drink, conversation,
and laughter.
The little plates are shared by everyone at the table,
which not only provides a wonderful variety of flavour
and texture sensations, but also creates the kind
of happy, convivial (perhaps noisy) atmosphere for
which Greeks are well known.
So feel free and choose your own combination of mezethes
that we have created for you and enjoy your visit
at The Olive Lounge. |
