Today is known as "Smokey Thursday" in Greece. The explanation is that this is the last official day to eat meat before Lent begins. It is called smokey ,as all the traditional meat tavernas will be packed full tonight , grilling lamb ,pork , beef kebabs steaks and chops for all they are worth.
As a result the smoke bilges up into the sky.
Meat obviously is the main focus of the meal, but it is usually eaten with chips , bread and of course a traditional Greek salad.
