What about Greek food?
Well now I'll present you a top of the most bizarre foods from Greece

4) SPLINANTERO.is a sausage made from spleen and mutton that's been broiled over charcoal fire.
Superstitions of Greek people
It's important to say that this superstitions come from religion or paganism
Like some people here in Mexico, greeks think that if,someone sees a cat, this is supposed to be bad luck for the rest of the day.
There are also one that called my attention, and it's the expression Piase Kokkino, and takes place when two people say the same thing together at the same time,they immediately say "piase kokkino"that means "touch red", and both have to touch something red from the environment.
They have to do that because greeks believe that say the same thing is an Omen and then will get a fight or argument if don't touch something red.
What do you think about this ? ,please let me know
What is APOKRIES?
Well last day I was chatting with a friend from Greece, I asked her to told me something about her country, traditions, customs, etc.
She told me about the carnival, there is called APOKRIES, well this celebration take place during two weeks, beginning from Sunday or meat fare, and ends with the first day of lont (clean Monday).
The carnival takes place in streets, throwing coloured confetti
The carnival is believed to come from paganism or from old festivities worshipping DIONYSUS (good wine)
Strange habits in Greece
Well now let me share you some information about strange habits in Greece
Something that really called my attention was that in Greece men hold rosaries and worry beads in their hads only to kill the time and not exactly for religious facts.
Another is that pople don't eat alone in public places in Greece like taverns, pubs, restaurants,etc. So if you go alone, the waiter won't serve you ..... That's so strange, what do you think ?
