And the reason for that is that it never stops. Platter after platter followed last night at Jim's Greek Taven. The place was heaving with people eating and talking, there were at least 200 people eating in that cavernous restarant.
We had hot bread and dips and antipasto type pickled vegetables, saganaki, vine leaves, fish, calamari, lamb from the spit, Greek salad, spicy rissoles, skewers of lamb and then finally dessert appeared.
And what wonderful desserts they were - baklava, Turkish delight, halva and my favourite galaktaboureka. No plate throwing allowed anymore by the health and safety regulations so instead we ate, drank and chattted till very late . Consequently today has been a bit of a lost day spent in recovery mode.
Okay, I'm was really jealous of the saganaki and the lamb until I saw the baklava.... It's been ages since I've been to a Greek restaurant! The last baklava I had was from a Paris pastry shop - also ages ago... Sigh....
