We stayed at the Orkos/Mikri Vigla end of Plaka, but I was good with drinking Mythos. The food was really, really good -- not the most interesting cuisine, but terrific ingredients.

I don't know what they do to those tomatoes (and may not want to) but they are good enough to make you want a bowl of tomatoes, cucumber and feta with a little green pepper, oregano, oil and vinegar at every meal.

Local ingredients. When you order chicken nuggets there (suppose you are seven years old, or traveling with someone who is), you get pieces of a chicken that recently lived nearby, not something frozen and processed.

If I know my adder he is already only eating at free trade local vegan restaurants, so your explanation doesn't explain the difference.

On Naxos, every restaurant is local, and they don't have any of that other stuff.

got that- my post was saying adder only eats at local places so that alone doesn't explain why the Greek food was so special to him.

I agree with the sentiment expressed by Paul McCartney and Wings in 1976 in "Silly Love Songs.

A younger Not Bob was more in the John Was The True Artist camp (of course, pretentious Not Robert pretended not to like the Beatles at all, claiming that in the transition from Hamburg teddy boys to clean(er) cut young Englishment, Brian Epstein had turned them into capitalist tools who further whitewashed music). Now I sing "what's wrong with that?"

Does this mean I am old? Hopelessly middlebrow? Both?

I got you, Hank. Maybe because I share your mental image of young Adder as a locovore ("wait a second - was this chard really grown on the St. Paul side? It really seems more Minneapolin").

Speaking of Greece, have I missed it or have the headline writers for financial journalists simply missed the opportunity to play off of "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks"?
