That looks awesome. But aren’t those Persian cucumbers? I would think, given a few thousand years of history, that no Greek would put those in. I would. But I’m not Greek.
Far worse to me are the non-traditional green olives. Just… why?
You gots the Kalamata / Greek olives and you’re beyond good to go on the olive front…
