…about CRETAN GREEN cuisine…
 
The most habituate Cretan snack:
Fresh cooked bread, tomato, olives, sometimes feta cheese (sometimes
not quite often) an onion accompany the meal
     
A short note for the Greek nutrition:
During the Turkish occupation (1450 - 1900) Greeks survived because of the olives, olive oil, wild greens and vegetables. All over Greece and Greek islands house ladies used every single wild green they found on their land, every single leave from vegetables like wine leaves, zucchini leaves etc, put on table their
imagination, inspiration  and make combinations mixing everything they have available and create fantastic dishes, simple but tasty, elegant, and healthy that sometimes even the founders got surprised of the results
