pl. Μεζέδες
eze (μεζές), in English sometimes spelled mezze, refers to a selection of small dishes served as appetizers or snacks in various cuisines around the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, including Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Armenia, and Lebanon.
These dishes are meant to be shared among friends and family, often accompanied by alcoholic beverages like ouzo or wine. Meze can include a variety of items such as olives, cheese, dips like tzatziki or hummus, grilled vegetables, seafood, and meat.
"Η ταβέρνα μας σερβίρει τα καλύτερα μεζέδες στην πόλη." (Our taverna serves the best meze in town.)
eze is not only about the food but also about the social aspect of dining, encouraging conversation and camaraderie around the table. It’s a delightful way to experience the rich flavors and hospitality of Greek cuisine.
