Nobody leaves Spain without having tasted some Tapas. Well, the same is also true for the Meze dish in Greece.

Just as Tapas, Meze consists of a tiny quantity of appetizers or snacks from a large variety of dishes that may be served cold or hot.  Meze can be as simple as a dish containing cheese and pickled gherkins; or a much more elaborated dish with shrimps and other seafood delicacies.

Meze is served sometimes as a starter dish while waiting for the main dish. More often, however, it is served as an accompaniment dish for an alcoholic drink; usually ouzo or beer.
