Tzatziki is as well-known in Britain,
Australia and the US as gyros and souvlaki. It’s a dip made from yoghurt,
cucumber, garlic and olive oil. The yoghurt is derived from either sheep or
cow’s milk
Tzatziki has two roles in Greek cuisine; it
can either be a sauce served with meat dishes or a starter to eat with bread. It
is always served cold, and can always be found on a plate of mixed starters
(pikilia).
Tzatziki is very popular amongst both
tourists and locals.
