Greece

Greece, a predominantly Christian country with a long history, is known for its generous use of vegetables, legumes, and grains. Meat is consumed in relatively small amounts, with lamb as the most popular and pork not uncommon. Dairy, especially yogurt, cheese, and goat’s milk, is an important part of the Greek diet. Greek food is flavored simply; the most common aromatics include olive oil, lemon, garlic, and oregano.
