I once made a Greek salad for my family. You know, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta. I thought I nailed it. Then my cousin’s husband—who had actually lived in Athens—took one look and said, “That’s not a real Greek salad. Where are the olives? And why is there lettuce?” Cue the family table exploding into debate: half of them defending me, half agreeing with him. By the end, no one even touched the casserole I’d worked on. But here’s the thing: I tasted his version later that week. And… he was right. Mine was just salad with feta. His was something else entirely. I’ll never admit that to him, though.
