@jwausredeemedme2425 when I was in college I used to eat gyros sometimes. A stuffed pita. Otherwise it's all Greek to me haha
Tabbouleh is something I make a lot, but I get more Lebanese with mine and use less bulgur. Greek recipes put feta, olives, etc. in theirs.

@TovaCares76 omg we do musaka too! Mom learnt it from a friend at a study exchange trip!
@sadcat13
So tasty! It's so filling and you feel good after you ate it, not heavy or overly full.
@TovaCares76 yesssss. Very tasty 😊
@TovaCares76 moussaka, so yummy 😊
I enjoy making it too.
@TovaCares76 The Spanikopita sounds so good! I may have had it before, but if not I need to try it.
Briam (pronounced bree-AHM) is a traditional Greek dish made with chopped vegetables, olive oil, and herbs — roasted together until tender and slightly caramelized. It's part of the broader ladera category of Greek cooking, which refers to oil-based, vegetable-forward dishes, usually made without meat. That makes it perfect for fasting periods, but honestly, it’s the kind of food Greeks cook all year round because it’s easy, flexible, and good.
At its core, Briam is comfort food. You get the deep flavor of roasted vegetables, the richness of olive oil, and a sort of built-in sauce from the tomatoes and their juices. Everything cooks together in one pan, and the result is greater than the sum of its parts.
