Greek Food to UK
Kafe Snack Bar ala Greek & Ouzeri
Off to UK and as usual my bag is full of the following:
1) Feta Cheese
2)Mizithra Cheese – a Greek cheese made with the whey from Feta and Kefalotiri, along with sheep and cow’s milk, which is used to enrich the cheese. It is sold both fresh and aged. Fresh Mizithra is soft, resembling cottage cheese and the aged is shaped like a large egg and is firm with a pungent aroma and mild flavor. This cheese, is perfect for grating.
3) Ouzo– a potent Greek anisette flavored liqueur made from wine grape residuals and other fruits such as dates and figs. When mixed with water and ice, this liqueur turns a cloudy white.
4) Rigani- Oregano a herb from the land of Homer, which we sprinkle on salad and meat.
Luckily my sister’s mother in law is occupied with many other things otherwise I probably would have her home baked cookies and some OCTOPUS, boiled for hours then preserved with olive oil and vinegar.
Bless the Euro zone “nothing to declare” otherwise I wonder what is it like declaring all these at Heathrow!
You won’t have to declare anything at Heathrow, they don’t care about the food you bring, all they care about is if you bring any alcohol.
Well, i also wanted to say that I enjoy your blog, especially when you put recipes of cookies…
I didn’t know Greece is part of the Euro Zone. How far is it from France?
HI cindy & ting aling, yes I will post more cookies and cakes, just trying to tie up loose ends here inUK we are moving to Norway! Greece from France is over 2 hrs flight, not too far, 3to 4 days on a yacht sea trip (I miss the sea!!!)
Within Europe there are so many organizations, there is the Euro zone (money) Schengen States (common visa) UK is not part of both. Some countries are not member of the EU but has rights the EEA zones etc.
