mmm ...

stuffed grape leaves. and retsina, admittedly an acquired taste.

you can have the ouzo, though.


update:
tonight, while everyone else was standing in line for food, i went to one of the drinks tents and ordered my hemi-decennial glass of retsina. the server took my $5, looked closely at me [i don't look at all greek], and finally asked "are you sure?"
me: yes.
him: are you sane?
me: no.
he laughed, apparently figuring [rightly] that i knew what i was letting myself in for, and handed me the glass.

yep. still tastes like fermented pine tar.
