What would you find on a Greek menu?
A typical Greek menu kicks off with a spread of small plates: think creamy tzatziki, plump olives, salty feta drizzled with olive oil and plenty of warm pitta for dunking. Greek food is made for sharing – generous mezze-style platters brimming with Mediterranean flavours, from crisp salads and vibrant dips to slow-cooked meats and freshly grilled fish. For mains, it’s often a comforting, slow-cooked centrepiece like Moussaka, Slow Cooked Lamb or gyros loaded with tender meat, crisp onions and fresh tomatoes. And to finish? A sweet slice of syrup-soaked baklava, best enjoyed with a glass of something chilled – perhaps a fruity rosé or a zesty Moschofilero white.
If you’re craving a taste of the Med, look no further than your local M&S Foodhall.
