Taste the beauty of Greek food at a Greek Festival June 4, 2007
Posted by grhomeboy in Greek Diaspora Festivals.trackback
The beauty of Greek food is its simplicity > grains (bread, pasta, rice), fruit and vegetables, legumes and nuts, dairy products (cheese and yogurt), fish (preferred over poultry and eggs) and olives (including olive oil).
These basic goodies will be among those offered during the 32nd annual Greek Festival, Friday through Sunday at St. Andrew Greek Orthodox Church, 52455 N. Ironwood Road, South Bend.
This year, the festival will feature an outside Kafenio (coffee shop). In Greece, a coffee shop would provide tables out in the sun where men would spend time munching, playing backgammon and discussing politics. The festival’s Kafenio will be available to the entire family, with backgammon boards set up on each table and an appetizer plate including Greek olives, feta cheese, skordalia (garlic sauce), taramosalata (Greek caviar) and Greek bread.
The festival takes place from 4 to 10 p.m. Friday, noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. For information, call (574) 277-4688.
