At St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Media, festivalgoers had ready answers when asked about their favorite foods: moussaka, spanakopita, souvlaki, lamb shanks, gyros and loukoumades.
For many, the Taste of Greece is an annual stop.
“We try to come every year,” one visitor said. Another group said this was about their seventh year attending. “Every year the tent just keeps getting bigger and bigger,” they said.
Much of what visitors see took months of preparation.
The parish Philoptochos president said preparations had been underway since May. Asked about the food, she credited the women who prepared it.
“Made with lots of love from the Philoptochos ladies,” she said.
The festival chairman pointed to the number of people helping this year.
“We have so many volunteers this year, we never had so many,” he said, before inviting visitors to “bring your family, bring your kids, bring your friends, and come hungry and thirsty.”
Alongside the food, the four-day event includes live Greek music, a DJ, Greek folk dancing and a kids zone. It is held under a covered tent and continues rain or shine.
One group of regulars said they would not miss it. They were leaving with a large bag packed with desserts and Greek dishes. Asked what was inside, they worked through the list: spanakopita, gyros, lamb and green beans.
Then came another favorite.
“Maybe the Greek red wine,” one said.
