I love Greek food, and as we speak, am fixing Moussaka, and
TzatZaki!!

Recently returned from Greece and it is ttrue, they will invite you
into the kitchen, maybe pull a bit of meat that is cooking off ther
spit and offer it to you.
Often give you a little taste of something or other and let you decide
what ever you want.
The two dishes I am fixing are some of my favorite Greek foods, but
they offer many Lamb
dishes that are to die for.

The Moussaka I make has lamb, eggplant and potatoes in it, with a
bechamel sauce over it Thern is baked in the oven.
