Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

  Photo taken from Athinorama Umami Taramosalata There are also the Greek classics, think something like a dip but instead of using nachos or vegetables to eat them we use bread. Taramosalata is one of those dishes.   It is roe fish blended into a creamy pink dip of pureed potatoes with parsley, lemon juice, and finely chopped onion (optional).   In meze, this is one of the first dishes that it is served.   In taverns, they always bring it along with salad, tzatziki, and tahini.   We will talk about the last two later.   Well, let’s see our recipe…   Ingredients 2 kg tarama (fish roe). 1 large potato or two small ones 450gr of Greek bread 1 tsp of shredded and dried onion 1 cup olive oil The juice of one lemon (medium size) Tarama is the hardest ingredient to find, so it is a good idea to look at groceries that import Mediterranean food.

Vegetarian or Vegan - Similarities and Differences

The two diets, vegetarian and vegan, are quite similar in nature but also have some notable differences. 

Vegetarian recipes typically consist of plant-based ingredients like grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts. 

On the other hand, vegan recipes eliminate all animal products – including dairy and eggs. Without access to these nutrition sources, it can be more challenging to create a balanced meal plan as a vegan dieter. However, many substitutes can be made which make delicious dishes while still being mindful of dietary restrictions.

The primary difference between vegetarian and vegan recipes is the lack of animal-based ingredients. 

Vegetarians may include dairy and eggs in their meal, while vegans typically do not. 

Vegetarian diets are often easier to follow as some ingredients such as cheese and honey can serve as "filler" foods for those who find it difficult to get enough nutrients from a restrictive diet. 

Additionally, vegetarians are more likely to find versions of meals they enjoy due to a wider variety of acceptable ingredients. 

On the other hand, veganism is beneficial for individuals aiming for better health outcomes due to its restrictions on processed items, limiting intake of saturated fats, cholesterol, sodium and added sugars.
