Countdown 11 Days: "Tea ee neh aff-toe?"

... means, "what's this?" According to Mike Barrett, author of GreekTravel.com:

"What usually happens when you walk into a restaurant is after finding a table (almost always outdoors between the months of May and October), you will be permitted or encouraged to go to the kitchen to see what they have to offer. There will be a large steam table full of pots with different dishes in them. Pick out what looks good and don't be afraid to ask your cook, waiter or host "Tea ee neh aff-toe ?"

Here are a few dishes from Mike that sound sooooo goood:

Dolmades (doh- mah -des): Grape-leaves stuffed with rice, onions and sometimes ground beef.
Mousaka (moo-sah- kah ): Baked like eggplant parm but not as much tomato sauce... eggplant, potatoes, onions, ground beef, oil, cinnamon, and a flour, milk and butter topping.
Pastitsio (pah- sti -tsyo): Like Lasagna but not as saucy.
Anginares (ang-ee- nar -es): Artichokes in lemon and egg sauce with potatoes.
