The main ingredients of Greek cuisine are few: olive oil, honey, yogurt, fresh grapes, fruits and vegetables, lamb and fish; but the way the Greek people prepare these ingredients seem to have endless variety and taste.
Greece is in southeastern Europe at the point where the Balkan Peninsula juts into the Mediterranean Sea and forms a land-based connection to Anatolia and the Middle East. Although Greece was initially restricted to the southern mainland and a few islands, it grew in 1948 with the addition of the Dodecanese Islands. The terrain of Greece is 80% mountainous, the highest point being Mt. Olympus. There are over 2000 islands in Greece.
The Greeks invented athletic contests and held them to honor their gods. The ancient Olympics seem to have begun in early 700 BC, in honor of Zeus.
I modified the pork recipe a bit by subbing thick cut pork chops for the pork loin. I think it held up better on the grill and didn't dry out as much as the loin chops would have. I have found that when a cut of meat has a bone in it, it seems to retain moisture much better than boneless.
