I feel healthier than I did back home because I'm eating so much fresh and vitamin-packed food, not because I'm super healthy, but because there's just so little processed food here.
The preparation depends on the dish. Almost everything, from meat, to eggs, to salad, is served with a salty white cheese similar to feta, cucumbers and tomatoes.
There are also a lot of quick spots to get bread and baked dishes. You won't go more than a block without seeing a bakery where fresh bread, croissants and pastries filled with cheese or meat are made dail for a super low cost. Today I bought a big loaf of fresh bread and a chocolate croissant for less than $1.00. Yum!
Yes! The food here is simple, fresh, affordable and filling. The climate allows for the growth of incredible produce, and the economy demands that food be affordable.
