Greek cuisine is the cuisine of Greece and the Greek diaspora.[1] In common with many other cuisines of the Mediterranean, it is founded on the triad of wheat, olive oil, and wine.[2] It uses vegetables, olive oil, grains, fish, and meat, including pork, poultry, veal and beef, lamb, rabbit, and goat. Other important ingredients include[3] pasta (for example hilopites),[4] cheeses,[5] herbs, lemon juice,[6] olives and olive oil,[7] and yogurt. Bread made of wheat is ubiquitous; other grains, notably barley, are also used, especially for paximathia. Common dessert ingredients include nuts, honey, fruits, sesame, and filo pastries. It continues traditions from Ancient Greek and Byzantine cuisine,[8] while incorporating Asian, Turkish, Balkan, and Italian influences.[9]
