What's for Dinner #127 - the It's Madness! Edition - March 2026

A fun road trip to Hershey today to see a neurosurgeon about my ongoing pain issue, which unfortunately didn’t render any meaningful results. It was also timed so badly, i.e. mid-afternoon, that it neither made sense to get lunch or dinner somewhere in the area.

BUT that didn’t stop us from swinging by a cute lil Greek place we discovered on another doc’s visit a year or so ago — incidentally for the same fucking issue, and which we’d liked quite a bit at the time.

We grabbed a 3-dip sampler of fava, melitsano & skordalia, which came with ample amounts of toasted pita bread & a few cuke slices. The bread was still warm when we got home, but floppy. I also wish I’d read my earlier (linked) post, bc we weren’t that hot for the melitsano.

The fava was the best of the three — the skordaliá was a bit light on the garlic and a bit heavy on the RWV, and I prefer my version of melitsano, which has feta & MOAR parsley.

That said, these were easy enough additions to the “Easter Lamb” snossidges from our Lancaster visit, plus TJ’s gigantes & leftover garlic rice. The sausages were very flavorful and juicy, with distinct notes of mint & garlic.

We also got not one, but TWO orders of my favorite Greek dessert, Ekmek, for a late night treat, which can be found at some point in the dessert thread :wink:
