FUN STORY ABOUT HOW I FIRST TRIED IT:
we had flown back from our school trip to europe, touched down in toronto. Then our flight back to Sudbury was delayed, and since everyone was HELLA TIRED from our 1am hotel departure from Paris, they just booked us into a Travelodge and let us have the run of the place.
I was in grade 10 at the time and ended up in the lobby with the grade 12s. We played cards with brochures and each drank about 15 cups of the hotel's complimentary coffee.
Once evening fell, the teachers realized they were legally obligated to feed us, so we went to the restaurant attached to the hotel- a Mr. Greek.
Now, I hated olives, and that's all I thought greek food was, so I was grumpy. But then the waiter comes up with a plate of cheese, dumps some alcohol on it and SETS IT ON FIRE. At that moment, I realized my love for greek food, as this dish clearly incorporated three of my favourite things:
The rest of the meal was amazing and I've spent the past 3 years going to get Greek food whenever I get the chance.
