Greek Food Festival



Me and Wayne Keeton attended the 38th Annual Greek Food Festival. When we arrived we had to make a quick decision on what we should eat. I really wanted to try something different so I bought Souvlakia, which is marinated lamb skewered and grilled on an open fire that is served with rice pilaf, Greek salad and a roll. It was pretty good considering that I have never had lamb before. For dessert I had Loukoumathes, which is Greek donuts that are fried and dipped in warm honey sprinkled with cinnamon. They tasted good but definitely unique. I ended up spilling the honey down my pants! The food was not what I was expecting, I guess I was expecting something a little more foreign. We sat next to a stage where fast upbeat music was playing. The event was located in the parking lot underneath the Holy Trinity-Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Cathedral. I found it odd that wine and beer were being sold at a church. I guess that shows the difference in cultural norms.
