Foreign Pie News

 Spanakopita pie (The Bakery, Rhodes Old Town)

Pastry:

Filo pastry, which somehow managed to be crisp and flaky in parts and oily and soggy in others.

Filling:

Feta cheese and spinach, with added olive oil to ensure maximum greasiness. We'd been warned by the baker that it was very salty, but if so, we must have been given a rogue one.

Initially, it was a very pleasant experience, but about halfway through, the overwhelming oiliness was fairly off-putting, not to mention slippery to grip.

A tasty treat provided you only eat the non-oily half. 

Disappointing.
