[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After the yummie shot of a full plate with rooster cooked with wine + pasta, the best 'companion' is a plate of vlita. The salad of course. You can choose herbs, season salad (cabbage salad, lettuce or cauliflowers boiled with lemon, salt and olive oild) or the classic cottage (horiatiki) salad with tomatoes, onions, pepers, olives and of course the famous greek feta cheese! :)

Vlita (sorry, I don't know the english phrase!) are wild herbs you can find everywhere in Greece (and in other countries I supose) and we like to eat them boiled with olive oil, lemon and salt. Some other people like them with vinegar insteed of lemon (I like them with lemon anyway).

These herds are the perfect "medicine" for the people who has stomach problems and they have many many vitamins! Are good for the children also. A pure product of greek nature.

Excellent DoF here Μπάμπη, but you should have moved the spaghetti dish out of the way ;o).
I like the green hues in the dish, to which the lemon makes a nice contrast.
Can't help you with the english, spell "vlita" in Greek ?

Αντίο και ΤΦΣ

Καταπληκτική καθαρότητα, τόσο, που νομίζει κανείς ότι θσ πάρει το πηρούνι και θα φάει.
Εκτός απο την καθαρότητα της φωτό τα χρώματα και ο φωτισμός είναι εξαιρετικά. Μπράβο!

Μπαμπη γειά σου,
Νομίζω είναι σκέτη πρόκληση, αυτό το ελληνικότατο πιάτο με τα χόρτα. Πολύ καλή και πολύ ζωντανά τα χρώματα.
Φιλικά Γιαννης

Bonsoir Mpampis,

J'apprécie beaucoup le sujet sur les recettes grecques.
Amitiés.

Giasou Mpampi!
I just saw this photo, and I love it!
Mmmm vlita is a favorite of mine and veryy much so of my mothers. They are very tasty and healthy like you said. I like the cropping and macro, it works well with the composition.

Kalimera, Mpampis (you pronounce it Babis, don't you)!
Wonderfull salad (we call it meseta if there is alcohol on the table, don't we?). I use rice instead of pasta, but the rest is similar. Tell my, my friend, do you pour some olive oil over it? And we add some green onion and a spoon of tomato paste... And, of course, rakia or ouso;) And we say Nazdrave (cheers)!
Efharisto poli!
Anton

I just love your food, well done, thanx, M, (*_*)

sorry...out of points yet again...

Kalispera Mpampis,

Mmmmm a week ago I enjoyed this in Lefkada! Is it "mangold" or "spinat" ? I saw it in the menucards as: Mountain green.
The shot is very good with the yellow of the lemon... I became hungry...
