Lefteris




Today I went to a restaurant called Lefteris in a new big shopping center in Yonkers.  They serve the food from the place that makes my favorite myths... Greek.  There we got some yummy food, and it's right by the new Legoland Discovery Center!  We sat out side.  The table cloth was blue and white like the Greek flag.  We got grilled octopus.  It tasted like the raw tuna that I get at the Japanese restaurant.  I didn't like it.  I like squid better but my sister really liked it.  We also got saganaki cheese on fire (literally :0 ).  It tasted rubbery, it was so-so.   The third thing food is Spinach pie or in Greek spanikopita, it was good.  On to the meat:  biftek, it tasted like a veggie burger paddy.  It was beef.  Gyro is made of lamb+beef.  It looked like brown strips of meat.  The last of the meat  is souvlaki, which was lamb.  It is tough like steak.  I love it. I have to sink my teeth in the piece of lamb and try to use my teeth to break a smaller piece.  There was this lasagna thing called vegetarian moussaka, like a potato zucchini lasagna.  It was fine it was very potato-y.  The last food  was some pita.  It was chewy hot and good.  We used the pita to scoop up the food, like the way you use the pancake when eating Ethiopian food.

How gyro meat is made.
