In reply to MAOI's and Greek food--What can I eat?, posted by gardenergirl on September 6, 2004, at 3:52:31
> Hi all,
> I am planning to go to my hometown's annual Greek festival next weekend. I love this event, and usually will eat something like a gyro (with lamb/spam...what's really in there anyway?), souvlakia (I think like pork on a stick, but I forget), moussaka (kind of like Greek lasagna or mac and cheese), and/or spanokopita (spinach and/or feta in phyllos). Does anybody know what I can eat? It seems like it might be much harder to determine ingredients in these dishes, although the ladies who cook are all so friendly, if I hand them my MAOI dietery restrictions card, they may be able to help me.

It sounds like russian roulette to me. Even if you got the traditional ingredient list from some source, you can't guarantee that it's what you'll get on the day. I too love Greek food, having been introduced to it in the 2nd largest Greek city in the world (Melbourne, Australia), but I think that maybe this is the time to thank the MAOI for the help, and take the required sacrifice on the chin. Food or depression, hmm?
Best regards from Piquet.
