I've been craving them all week. Tonight I make fajitas!
I'm looking forward to pickled jalapenos ! And guacamole!

They are good.
I've never attempted to make souvlakis.
It's just a Kebab...
Quote from: "Angry White Male"
I know what they are, I've bought them..
My son likes them, but I've only bought them, never made them.
I cook up some Kebabs occasionally, but only when I fire up the Weber barbecue, which isn't very often these days it seems...
Quote from: "Angry White Male"
I'll make some this year.
You must have a barbecue? It's the only way...

There's a place in Winnipeg that sells giant souvlakis. They are fantastic and it's enough for 2 meals and 1 snack.

My husband brought home mega souvlakis last year..
Lots of leftovers.
A pub / restaurant we frequent is Greek owned.
We often share a chicken souvlaki dinner ... 1. big chunks of chicken (marinated in gentle Greek spices and lemon juice), 2. a mountain of Greek style rice, 3. salad Greek or our favorite Caesar & 4. at least 4 potato halves lemon & spice boiled, then broiled.
Comes served on a huge rectangular plate and is plenty for the 2 of us
Yes, souvlaki itself in merely chunks of meat or chicken broiled on skewers .... great to BBQ

Greek food would make great pub fare.

Check out the Ocean Park in Brookswood (the best one, as they are all separate). Greek owned and operated, and usually pretty decent. Not so much a 'pub scene' restaurant, but they are usually good. Close enough to where you live, so not a far drive. Just know that the place fills up on the weekends, so you might have the best luck with seating during the week.
Their lamb is award winning, and even something basic like a pizza is done right there.
I haven't been to a Greek restaurant I didn't like..
And they make great pizza, and I am not a pizza fan.
A truly great pizza is hard to find. Ocean Park in Brookswood is truly one of the best for pizza. People that don't like pizza will eat that pizza.
Quote from: "Angry White Male"
Yes, Greek restaurants make pizza so good, even those of us who are not pizza fans like it.
I do like my Greek food! Spanikopita is another yummy!
Quote from: "Fashionista"

This is true.
I'm not much of a pizza fan either...but if I must it has to be ham and pineapple...with feta and blk olives.

The pizza always so good at Greek restaurants.
Careful though... I have been to a local Greek restaurant that was a little too 'genuine' also. My ex and I sweated out Garlic for two days... I'm not joking.
I had to actually wash the sheets, since we sweated out the garlic overnight, and it stunk up the sheets.

We're used to garlic.
To the point where it stinks up a room, your clothing and your bedding?
Quote from: "Angry White Male"
What the heck did you order? I eat garlic almost everyday and I don't turn into a liquid garlic sweating weirdo.
I got some farts going on right now. Toot Toot!
Quote from: "Berry Sweet"
Whatever we ordered was loaded with Garlic. And yes, that's the only time I sweated it out. We both sweated it out into the sheets. The fucking bedroom stunk like sweaty garlic, until I washed the sheets.
I'm not Greek. You fucking tell me what we ate...

So you ate something and didn't know what it was?
Greeks don't go extreme on the garlic. Maybe you had east Indian?
Did both of you get drunk and eat raw garlic? That may do it.
It was a pasta dish of some sort. I can't remember exactly what type of pasta dish it was now...
Pasticchio?
Greeks don't really eat pasta...thats more Italian.
Quote from: "Berry Sweet"
But, Greek restaurants make better pizza than Italian restaurants.

Far as I know both of you got wasted and ate some homeless guys ass thinking you were dining out.
Yeah, that must've been it...

Quote from: "Angry White Male"
You never know...i think u had some wild times...
Oh, I had some wild times! But those were a long time ago... Can't party like a frat boy forever.
Maybe you guys age a jar of minced garlic? About 5 years ago I went to a party...i got tippy...i are half a jar of pickled banana peppers...i paid for it the next day....they didn't even digest...
Berry, give it up. I know when my ex and I went out to a proper dinner, as we ate out all the time.
Never had a problem with most 'ethnic' cuisine, until the Greek Garlic Overload situation...
I'm just sayin...with all the alcohol you have consumed over the years, and whacked up stories...im sure there are a few really bad ones you are not telling us about....
Like the homeless guy with the garlic ass....
I am actually one of the most 'normal' people that exist on the forumz, in 'real life.'
What you think, and what actually exists, are two separate things. I do like the way that anonymous forums blur these lines... It is the reason that they exist, and the reason that some prefer them over FaceShit and the likes...
Actually, here's something interesting that you can do, Berry... Years ago, I spent the evening at a pub in Coquitlam with Evs and her friend. No joke.
You want to know my demeanor and character? I DARE you to ask Evs what I was like! :roll:
And now you have it!
Something else funky went on that drunken night after the homeless guy with the garlic ass rite??
I give up.
Ask her. I dare you to. You can still post there. I cannot.
I dare you to ask her of my character.
Double dog dare?
Will I get a cookie with my name on it?
I would be surprised if they even allowed that post to remain, but go and ask her. Ask her what my demeanor was like that night at the pub. I would LOVE to see the results from that...
I'm getting to giggly...time to go to sleep. Nite nite.
Giggly? You're starting to get stupid, as you do every night. Go to bed. Rest well.

Every alkie has whacked up stories. Many they don't remember.
Don't try to speak for me, Alky...

I checked the menu - looks good - thanks - will try to give a go. Geek lamb is a favorite of mine.

Both true - Greeks seem to know their spices, how to cook and how to treat customers
Don't have pizza often, but they are always tops at Greek places
Don't go often because of parking being difficult, but Cosmos on Marine Drive has re-opend after a fire - they have been best place in town for decades

We just had a Spanikopita dinner last week - same as the 4 item Souvlaki dinner I described previously - huge and superb ... Spanikopita to die for

Didn't know that. Will be wary
I buy spanakopitas frozen from a European grocer. They don't last long in my house.
