This weekend C and I went to the annual Greek Festival in Kansas City at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. We've gone the last 4 years and have never been disappointed. Well, except the first year when I ordered the Pastitsio plate, a pasta casserole dish consisting of a meat sauce between two layers of a macaroni/bechamel sauce, sprinkled with nutmeg. Not as good as it sounds. But the pita bread and the gyros can't be beat. Also the Spanakopita, humus and Dolmathes are really good. This year I smartened up and ordered a gyro to take home and tried the Souvlakia (shish kabob) at the festival. It was very tender and flavorful, and the gyro was just as good the next day for lunch. I've never tried to make gyros before, but I may have to make the effort. I have tried to make Tsatziki before, but it was no where near as good as theirs. Best of all they had a cookbook for sale! So look for some Greek taste trials in the near future.
