Spanakopita

See, I'm going to get the wrong thing here, probably.

So, Greece has a Spanakopita, the griddle cheese with pistachios and honey.

Chicken, Souvlaki Hero with lettuce, tomato, cucumber relish, and Ziki Ziki on a pita.

Let's see here, we got the Malones Winery, Assyrtiko Dry White, Zoe Rosé.

A layer is one part on top of another part.

Spanakopita is a pastry with spinach and cheese.

Pastry means baked food with thin layers of dough.

Dough is the soft mix used to make bread or pastries.

And one more useful phrase is, what do local people usually order here? Local means from that place, usually means most of the time.

Quick check, David.

Spanakopita is a pastry with spinach and cheese, right?

Yes, exactly.

I think of any Greek words I know.

Spanakopita, moussaka, gyro.

They're only food words, but it doesn't matter.

I decide to say them anyway.

I say them over and over out loud until they blur into a litany, my own incantation.

Spanakopita, moussaka, and gyro.

Spanakopita, moussaka, and gyro.

Spanakopita, moussaka, and gyro.

Greece is another good one.

They've got the Spanakopita.

I don't honestly know what that is.

But, you know, there's that.
