Today you can buy the quintessential Mediterranean snack anywhere in Britain, but olives still taste to me of travel in the sun. Plus: what I've been drinking at Christmas
Growing up in California, I admit it's hard to understand this concept of tasting sunshine in any food as one is generally spoiled with it. The irony of course is that while the state grows plenty of olives, those we eat are probably the same as in the UK, ie, imported from Europe. Although, I would warrant that if not certified with a PDO, the 'French' olives you and I were often eating were probably from Spain.
Because it’s really bloody difficult. Me and Duolingo are in a constant passive aggressive battle with each other over it. Te Nero (water) is the best I’ve got and all I could understand from my hospital visit, because it meant the dreaded endoscopy tube 😂
Can’t go wrong with Bohorquez - great value

That could be…
Wonderful and evocative. You’ve lived a portion of my dream to study Greek in Athens.
I really dislike Greek Duolingo…
But yes, it is a difficult language
Thanks! The obvious question, however, being how come I STILL can’t really speak Greek? 🙄
