Me Din DinsWe're going international again lads, my UK stuff just isn't cutting the mustard.I'm on the serene island of Kos in the Dodecanese Islands of Greece. I don't have a drop of Greek blood in me but I am spiritually Greek, I've loved the place and the people for years.
Started off with some incredibly crisp cold pints watching the football. My beloved Norf FC, Hull City, are currently joint top of the Premier League which feels quite alien to say.
>>22178005Do you win a prize if you hit swing guy with a pita bread?
Had to get myself a Pork Souvlaki plate with plenty of Tzatziki. Good lord this was absolutely BOSH lads. Vegetable rice, fresh pitta, balsamic salad, spiced chips (those kind of U-shaped slice ones). And more beer ofc, prefer Alfa and Fix to Mythos and Memos personally.Gf had the Chicken Souvlaki and it was cracking too
Dindins anon spoiling us again
>>22178005Have to wait another year before I get to go to Greece in summer. Have fun and enjoy some cheeky gyros and grilled octopus for us, lad
>>22178015nice
>>22178015and what did the missus (he) have?
>>22178015>cutting board filled with gashes as a plateImagine the bacteria
>>22178212Wood is quite anti-bacterial, so that wouldn't bother me and I bet he won't post the sort of food he did when he went to Sardinia. Greek food is boring and the worst cuisine in the Med, it's all variations of what he has on that board.
>>22178707>boring and the worstthis is what your wife says about your bedding skills
>>22178015Bosh
Based, recommend Hirodion Taverna if youre nearby. It was our favourite place for food when we went.
>>22178015Why would I read your blog when I can just get 4 Big Macs delivered for $20
My incredibly authentic Greek breakfast. The lady was very insistent I have one of her homegrown figs too
>>22178707>Greek food is boring and the worst cuisine in the Med, it's all variations of what he has on that boardThat's just every Mediterranian cuisine. Compare it to France for example.
>>22178015how much was it?
>>22179087About tree fitty.
>>22178212>the american mind cant comprehend wooden accessoriessad!
>>22179087About £25 all in with beers and starter, pretty decent tbf>>22179063Thank you mate, looks lovely. I'm literally at the other end of the island unfortunately. Deliberately chose somewhere we wouldn't feel the need to do 20,000 steps every day and just have a chill time
>>22179166>About £25Just list the fucking price in € ffs.
>>22179169Basically the same these days mate innit, like £1 to €1.16 or something. Still fairly cheap to come abroad but not ridiculously so, especially in eastern Europe where the Euro dragged everything up
>>22178005>I'm on the serene island of Kostouristy shitshow. go to antiparos.
>>22179173Basically 2/3 of Europe citizens use € and just 60 mil. £ so it's much more useful. Especially as Greece has € too.
>>22179188Just take ~15% off the figure, you smooth brained cuckold
>>22179166thanks anon
>>22178015I'm usually a fan of carbs on carbs, but in this case the rice seems excessive?
>>22179208Nobody really wants to converse with a pearl clutcher such as yourself.
>>22178005What's it like in terms of crowds? Is it chill or crowded with tourists?
>>22179223Yes.
>>22179186Closest I've been is Santorini, which actually was quite quiet away from the main caldera>>22179223Quiet but not that it's completely dead, very relaxed and everyone's been even more friendly than I remembered
>>22178015Food looks great, hate when restaurants serve stuff on cutting boards though. Cant really go wrong with souvlaki
>>22179200>pay price in €>unnecessarily exchange into £ for absolutely no reason
>>22178005BEHOLD! The USA Flag Girl!
Boys this was some unreal Din DinsFor starters we had some Saganaki fried cheese, and Kolokithokeftedes which is courgette or zucchini fritters with a bit of feta. Both were delicious and had very nice texture.
For mains, I had Lamb Kleftiko and the missus had Beef Stifado.Genuinely 10/10 boys, hers was so nice and aromatic and rich
My Kleftiko was maybe a little different from tradition, instead of being cooked in parchment paper, it was cooked in a little tin with crunchy Filo pastry encasing the tender lamb chunks, feta and peppers, onions, tomatoes and such.Absolutely banging I feel like a changed man. Bosh.
>>22179609>>22179630super
>>22179609>>22179630Yeah that din dins looks really good. Do you ever repeat a restaurant when you’re on vacation or do you try to do new places every meal?
>>22178005fucking hate tourists go back to your shit hole
>>22180470We try not to, one place that comes to mind is Folkklubs Ala Pagrabs in Riga, Latvia that was so good we went twice. Like a pub in the cellars with amazing meats and mead and beer.
Gyros chicken plate after a swim over to a little island and some sketchy rock climbing to the top of it.
Dindins eating good again. What is his job
Spetzofai for starter tonight, sausage cooked in a tomato sauce with various veggies, nice with crusty buttery bread.>>22180947Accounting manager mate. Fairly boring but I work with some nice people and it's incredibly easygoing, smallish company. I get to leave early to play football.
I had Sheftalia for main, which is actually a Cypriot dish. Basically lamb and pork, with the casing made from stomach lining for a crispy outside. Really nice and the chips were too. gf had chicken Souvlaki again bless her.
>>22180682Wow, great ambiance>>22181132Those look like the best chips so far
why do the Greeks love fries so much? They seem to serve them with most things
are you the hull city fan??
>>22179080>authentic greek breakfastthere is not such thing as breakfast in greece and never was
>>22181123>spetzofai without bell peppers because they know cost more than sausages the absoulute state of gayreekstan
>>22178005You mean "me UK stuff".
