Cultural Insight: Greek Meze Tradition

In Greek culture, sharing small dishes known as μεζέδες (mezedes) is a common practice. When dining with others, it’s customary to order a variety of μεζέδες to share, allowing everyone to taste a little bit of everything. This communal style of eating emphasizes the importance of togetherness and hospitality.
