Tzatziki<\/strong> (\u03c4\u03b6\u03b1\u03c4\u03b6\u03af\u03ba\u03b9)\u00a0<\/a> is related to souvlaki, the most famous Greek fast food and Greeks have a love-hate relationship with it: we love it because it\u2019s creamy, fresh and piquant and we hate it because the garlic smell can turn a romantic moment to a disaster. Some people claim that consuming cinnamon or mint after eating tzatziki makes the smell go away. Some others claim that if both people eat it the smell is not annoying. Personally, I think that none of these work and I see no point in eating tzatziki and then destroying the taste that it leaves in the mouth by chewing cinnamon or peppermint, so if you are determined to eat tzatziki, just do so with no guilt!
\nTzatziki is of Turkish origin and is used as a dip. Traditionally,it escorts grilled porc, lamb or goat and we eat it with bread, pita bread or fried potatos. However, it can be also eaten with soya kebab, toasted bread, whole-wheat bread, arabic bread, vegetable sticks, chicken, olives and appetizers such as meat balls, giant bins, fried zucchini, tomato or zucchini balls etc.
\nBelow there is a tzatziki recipe translated in English.
