During the past three weeks I've been stuffing myself with lovely, Greek food. In my opinion food is a very important aspect of a good holiday. I actually remembered to photograph some of the delicacies I've enjoyed in Rodos.

Garlic bread. There are lots of variations, and a good starter to nibble while waiting for the proper food:



Stuffed champinons. Very juicy, and delicious. They were starters, but the serving was large enough to be a full meal. I nearly regretted ordering a main course:



We had a lot of sea food. These tiny shrimps are devoured with tail, skin and antenna. They have a delightful crunch:



The big sea food plate at Captain's is standard procedure at least once every holiday. A big plate with different delicacies for at least two persons. Fish, calamares, mussels, lobster, shrimps and more. I had started my feast before I thought of sharing the experience:



Big, grilled shrimps and bacon:



Did I mention that I love sea food?

The bowl of lemon water had a lovely flower floating in it. I had to force myself to use it:



I don't like dried figs, but I do love fresh ones. These were picked in my friend's garden. I can't get them fresher than that. This is the result of a ten minute walkabout on her plot:

Well you certainly couldn't complain about the food in Rhodes that's for sure!! Everything looks mouthwateringly delicious Droopy. I would love to have sampled those stuffed champinons as they are an all time favourite of mine.

Oh my, oh my... Doesn't that stuff look great. You weren't bashful about feasting were you? chuckle.
I sure do agree with you that food is a very important aspect of vacations.
You did good.

Oh dear, are you hungry now? *lol* We had all sorts of souvlakis too, both sea food and meat ones. Grilled food tastes so much better in Greece than here. Lots of white wine with that sea food, of course.

Everything looked great Droopy, although dare I say it...I don't eat seafood. Sorry! It still looks like you had some good food, always important on holiday or at home I say.

*faints* Don't like sea food? You'd still be eating well in Greece, with all the lovely meats and veggies they've got there.
