Anybody who has ever been to Greece will smile knowingly every time the topic of Greek meals is brought up. There is nothing like Greek meals any place else in the world. Filled with the freshest of greens, unencumbered by spices that hide the flavor of the components, and full of beef and lamb dishes that can tempt any palate, there is something in Greek delicacies that will tempt anyone.

One of the best ways to get a really feel for Greek food is by understanding the food that makes up most of its dishes. Olives are large in Greece. There are so many styles of olives, that the Greeks like to say that saying you do not like olives is like saying you do not like sweets: for those who don't like one sort, there are loads more to choose from. From black olives to green, Kalamata to Peloponessos, there is something for everybody. Of course, when you think of olives, you have to think of olive oil, and this is an important part of Greek cuisine too. In fact, olive oil is used to cook almost all foods, and is used as dressing for salad or garnish on other dishes too.
