\nCrete\u2019s cuisine is one of the best in the world.
The core of the \nCretan cuisine consists of food derived from natural sources. Fresh \nfruit and dried fruits, pulses, endemic wild herbs and aromatic plants, \nand rough cereals, whose cultivation is favored by the regional climate,\n are consumed in great amounts and constituted the base of the Cretan \ncuisine. Dairy products are consumed on a daily basis in low to moderate\n quantities. Poultry and fish are consumed on a weekly basis in moderate\n quantities, whereas red meat is consumed only a few times a month. The \nmain supply of fat is effectuated by olive oil, which is used not only \nin salads but also in cooking, unlike the northern European countries \nwhich primarily use animal fat. Another essential feature of the Cretan \ncuisine is the moderate use of alcohol, mainly red wine which accompany \nmeals. Finally, the most common dessert is yogurt and fresh fruits, \nwhile traditional pastry based on honey is being consumed a few times a \nweek.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
