Santorini tomatoes question
I've seen a few articles on the web that say you need to ask for local tomatoes when eating out in Santorini - is that true? Will restaurants serve you imported tomatoes unless you specifically ask for local?
I'm a vegetarian, so I am really looking forward to all the local agricultural products (especially the wines, white eggplant, fava beans and tomatoes). I'll be there in mid-May, is that too early for the cherry tomatoes? |
Unfortunately mid-May is probably too early for most local produce to be ripe. Anything fresh you find is likely be from off-island.
|
Oh well. I'll just concentrate on the wines, then...
|
Can't go wrong with wine!! :)
|
I hear you!!!
|
A friend who lives there just wrote and told me that the Santorini tomatoes are ready the first week of June.
|
You won't be disappointed with the vegetables in Greece, even though you are a little early for the Santorini tomato. Even in May, the ordinary tomatoes I've eaten in Greece are much tastier than the supermarket variety back home. :-)

jamikins: Can't go wrong with wine. Wine is sometimes made with animal products... |
What products are those?
|
Animal products used as finings, e.g. gelatin, egg albumen, isinglass from fish bladders, casein from milk, rarely ox blood.
