Greece - Food & Drinks - Sweets: Rizogalo.
Rizogalo is a sweet Greek dessert/dish that is created from milk, porridge rice and starch (brought on taste with cinnamon and vanilla). It is mainly served with a glass of water (because it is really sweet). According to a good friend of mine (Bertha), its is the healthiest sweet that exists in Greece. She is convinced that this is **the secret** why she will celebrate, tomorrow (7th Of June), her **92th** birthday.
If you have the chance to visit Athens, make sure you visit 'Stani'. It is a unique, traditional coffee shop (sweet shop/milk bar) downtown Athens. I am convinced that everything you taste here is EXCELLENT! If not let me know, I will pay the bill ;-) (just kidding). The place is located here: M. Kotopouli 10, Athens 10431 Greece. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g189400-d2454425-Reviews-Stani-Athens_Attica.html https://www.google.com/maps/dir//37.985462,23.727985/@37.9804911,23.7250057,15z **Ingredients**: - 200 gr. porridge rice. - 200gr. sugar. - 400 ml of water. - 1L of milk. - 2 tablespoons of starch. - 2 egg yolks. - seeds of a vanilla stick. - 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.

I was in Greece 4 years ago. I visited Athens and Santorini Island. Loved the country but didn't get a chance to try any of the greek dishes (wife is a picky eater 😂) expect for one shrimp based which I really loved. These posts makes me visit again 😀
Thank you! You are welcome, even this year! You know as Greece mainly depends on tourism, we are waiting here, with fear, to see what this summer will bring.
Yeah the fear is the same all around the world. We are all into this together and we will come out strong
Here the fear for the virus is very low as we had almost no cases and as low as about 180 deaths throughout the entire period. No, the fear here is that many people will skip this year to go for holidays. So that means 'no income' for a very big group of Greeks that totally depend on tourism. (not even thinking of the people that work 'in black' in this sector, as they will also get no government support).
Well that is a good thing and you guys are already way ahead in terms of recovery. I understand your worries as many other countries are still struggling to flatten the curve
For many people in the islands this year is a 'dilemma': have no income or (potentially) import the virus. Most islands have, so far, no cases at all.
I will love to try this
Don't try, just do it!
I will love to try this

Greece of course. I am not sure but if you would write your articles in English, you would have, in my opinion, a much broader public (of readers). Just a suggestion. Take care.
Where are you from? I looked at your BLOG but unfortunately I don't understand the language :-(
