Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it as I've been wrestling with what to do and what to name it if I do it. My original intent was to have one big food blog, but I found I was much more inspired by doing Greek food specifically, hence Mama's Taverna. I probably should just stick all my food stuff here on this one blog, but I'm totally neurotic, actually make that NEUROTIC!, about definitions and classifications, so...

Or you could do what Peter/Kalofagas did, which is expand the name of his current blog to include other than Greek foods. Seems like it would be much easier to have one blog than two. As for Michael Symon, his mom is Greek, so he's half. I've watched him on Iron Chef and like him a lot. His first restaurant Parea was Greek. So happy to hear FAGE is opening a plant here - the Greeks truly make superior food. It’s a great name and you could clear up any obscurity with a subtitle.

That's why that word was in my head. The thing is, I don't know if that name would be understandable to most non-Greeks; it's maybe kind of an inside joke.

M. Symon is right, Greeks are better cooks than the French! Thanks for posting this Lulu. :-) I guess it's time I posted my lemon yogurt cake recipe... coming soon.
