Mediterranean kiwi said ... that book by albala is on my must-buy list although the greek diet relies heavily on bean dishes as part of the regular weekly diet, you will never see a bean dish being served on a festive day in greece or at a 'trapezi'. the only time i have seen this happen is in greek homes outside greece. i think this is very revealing: greeks love to showcase their regular diet to foreigners. the higher level of education of the foreign born greeks helps to put healthy food in perspective. living in multicultural environments makes you more food-tolerant
