I too have been craving Greek food. We had Doner kabobs last week or the week before and the level onion served upset my tummy. And yet? Still want Greek food. Sadly there is no Greek food to be had.

Heh. Mmm. Love Greek food. I was just thinking how it's too bad we don't have better ethnic food in the area, and Greek is one of the things I miss. That and Polish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I upset my stomach by eating roast chicken at the Halloween party, inbetween drinks and jello shots (woke up sans headache as is usual now after a night drinking). Then I discovered whoever had brought them had lined the bottom of the pan with pita bread, and that was insanely delicious but it really didn't need to be mixed with the vodka/Red Bulls.

I think I'm forgiven today, but the jury isn't back in until after lunch.

eta:

That and Polish.

I've eaten Polish once, and a friend turned to me, gestured at the plate and said "Isn't this why they left Poland?" It's about the only cuisine I've written off in majority. Most everything else has something I like or love. Don't even want to try again with Polish food.

The SO made these incredible jalapeno burgers last night. I thought we'd be paying for them later, but no.

I can take you to have goooood Greek in Cincy.

Oh, man! You had the wrong Polish food! (I hate when people tell me that my experience was the "wrong" introduction to said experience, and yet here I am doing it.) But -- kielbasa! And pierogies! And more pierogies! And paczki!

(My family is part Polish, so I got to eat the good stuff, not the fried lard or beef tripe. t edit Or duck blood soup, which, hand to god, my mom routinely ate as a kid. They called it "chocolate soup.")

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I've made my distaste for Slavic cuisine known, but Poland gets a pass for the pierogis. I was there for like three days and ate at the same pierogi place three times-- it was that good.

I'm a big fan of any kind of pouch-like food: pierogis, knishes, dumplings, wontons, Hot Pockets -- you name it.

t edit Actually, a dumpling is more of a lump o' dough and not a pouch. But still yum, so I'll leave it on my list.

ita and Liese, come to Chicago!! We'll get you set up with some fabulous Polish food, and as for Greek food, well, we've got an entire neighborhood full! I was at Parthenon in August, and had some yummy lamb. And saganaki (flaming cheese--"Ooopah!") was invented here!

ALSO a pouch of sorts. Er, in that the tortilla holds in all the burrito-y goodness.
