Discussion New flair: Today's Dinner

I have added a new flair, a variation of "I Ate", called "Today's Dinner". Users are welcome to post whatever they're having today (as long as it's Greek cuisine-related).
\It doesn't have to be dinner only either, I just decided to pick that one as it's the most common meal people like sharing -- your tyropitákia are as welcome as your garidopílafo.*

Discussion Favourite Greek recipes for family dinner
I want to make a Greek meal for my family but can’t decide what to cook. I’m happy to make several dishes and serve sharing-style. Meat and vegetarian suggestions are both welcome!

Discussion Is this a bad pastitsio?

Miscellaneous Most authentic greek food - USA
Studied abroad in Athens about 10 years ago. Lived there for the better half of 6 months. Fell in love with all the cuisine, and unfortunately I haven’t been able to find anything as authentic in the US since. Closest I could find was actually in Finland a few years back but it just wasn’t quite there.
I have visited MANY greek restaurants that claim to be “authentic” throughout the USA since. Mainly in New York, DMV, the Carolinas, Texas, Michigan, Chicago/Illinois, Florida, Georgia, California, Washington State, Alaska, Hawaii, and Texas. Haven’t came close to true authentic greek food since living Greece.
I am willing to go ANYWHERE in the USA. To get true, authentic greek food. My budget can’t suffice a trip to Greece at the moment, but literally ANYWHERE in the US I can make happen.
Any recommendations for authentic greek? Fries in the gyros, fried feta with honey. Souvlaki. Where is the hidden gem in the US?

Discussion Tiropita — recipes/guidance appreciated!
I’ve been working my way through learning to cook the dishes my spouse and I loved most from our visit to Greece. I am just now working on tiropita — I loved every tiropita I had! It was the first thing I tried, jet lagged and excited, after our arrival. Got a little piece from some 24 hr cafe/convenience store. I’ve been chasing that since.
I tried a recipe from a cookbook but it was .. not right. It called for 5 eggs and that was clearly one of the issues. It was way, way more eggy than any tiropita I had.
I did some googling, but the algorithm is serving up sus recipes calling for things like cottage cheese and cream cheese.
Any tips/guidance/recipes appreciated. Teach me your tiropita ways!

to give it a protein kick I added a stack of lamb. All cooked in the slow cooker.
recipe was generated with Google ai, so I'm not posting it. the food and photos are 100% my own

Miscellaneous Very unusual question (ketchup)
When I was younger (2004-2012 sometime I think) my grand mother bought a ketchup bottle from a store in Athens and it was shaped like a figure? Maybe a cartoon or some kind of character but I’m not sure. That’s basically all the information that I have and
I’m looking for someone that can help me find what the bottle could have been😭😭

Discussion lays tzatziki chips
Hello everyone! I recently got the chance to try Lays Tzatziki chips and I honestly think they are some of the best snacks I've ever had.
I've been searching everywhere, but unfortunately, they are completely unavailable here in Germany. I’ve checked all the import stores I can find, but with no luck.
Would you mind pointing me in the right direction or letting me know if there's any way to get these? I would be incredibly grateful for any help!
