She loves brined olives of course, not the fresh ones. For those of you that have never had the opportunity to eat a fresh olive off of a tree they are incredibly bitter and will immediately suck all of the moisture out of your mouth. It will also effect your taste buds for at least an hour afterward, Sloane claimed like it felt like she had a layer powder on her cheeks afterward. Sloane won herself a large beer for doing what's in the video bellow. http://vimeo.com/46346347
Our first meal in Greece
What an amazing first meal. Sloane has become a pro at using a website called couchsurfing, it's basically a site for travelers who want to open their home to each other and show off their city. We were treated to a late lunch/early dinner by Yannis, the incredibly generous man who was hosting us in Athens. Being sunday afternoon, his first few choices were closed. But 4th times a charm, and charming it was. I was only able to get a few quick shots of the meal but it was a great introduction to Greek food. We had Greek salad, they make it almost how you would expect plus green bell peppers. A fish egg paste called Taramosalata that was amazing. It's best described as a cross between creamy hummus and the garlic sauce they serve at Zankou Chicken in Los Angeles, not fishy at all. I even think my younger sister Emily could have enjoyed this stuff. A few grilled shrimp, some whole fresh fish, some meatballs, some fried cheese, and a plate or two of french fries.
