Greek cuisine is a typical Mediterranean fare, which, like other countries around the Mediterranean, focuses on fresh ingredients and simple flavours. Key ingredients in Greek cuisine include lamb and pork, feta cheese, olives, aubergine, courgette, and yoghurt. Nuts and honey are prevalent in desserts. Typical dishes include meze (a collective term for a variety of small dishes), Greek salad, souvlaki (grilled meat, often pork, on a skewer), and baklava (a dessert consisting of filo pastry with chopped walnuts, almonds, etc.). Greek food culture can be found worldwide in Greek tavernas and restaurants.
