Food Inventory

Our food inventory leaving Nemea and heading into the mountains is quite impressive.

* 1 bottle of wine from the first of two wineries that we went to for wine tasting. This region is reportedly Greece's pride in wine production, and I, not being anything of a wine connosuer will not argue the point. It's good wine because I like it.

* 1 large loaf of bread, as well as a pair of "koolooris" - kind of a Greek sesame twist or bagel (but better!) that the kind Polish man at the bakery gave us.

* 1 filo cheese filled pastry

* 3 tins of ready food: Giant (or elephant) baked beans, yellow split pea mush cooked with onion and garlic (fava in Greek, but it's NOT fava beans), roasted eggplant.

* A tin and a bit of Quaker oatmeal (standard inventory)

* Two kinds of Cheese, about 1/2kg total

* 1 bitter Greek brand chocolate bar

* kefir in the making (also standard inventory)

* 5 bananas

* 250ml bottle of olive oil

* honey, delicious Greek fir honey. It's really, really good. Really.

* grape syrup

* other things that I can't remember right now, and lots of water.

Impressive, no?
