I am not sure if I should be embarrassed to admit that there is actually more than two ways to enjoy a slice of bread as opposed to the conventional way of plain butter or with cheese (mmmmhh...! Cheese!!)
Many a times we were served four slices of bread without butter whenever we ate out in sit-in restaurants. I was rather confused as to how would I have the bread. There are butter in Greece. I always had my bread with butter every morning served by the hotel. But why was there not butter (those peel-open ones) in the bread's basket?
When I asked for one, the Waitress looked rather surprised that I asked for one.
W: "No butter. Olive oil. Very good. No butter. You wait." (in Greek accent)
She brought it over and placed it on my side of table.
I looked really puzzled.
W: "Okay. You watch."
She did what she had to do to show me how the Greeks have it. I quickly learned and enjoyed it very much! Here's how to have it the Greek way for your bread.
