Bread and Oil

Country of origin: Italy

The simplest starter going.
Use bread that is not too crumbly. A selection of dark rye, seedy donker, and a light granary would be great.

Method

Preparation
Set the table.
Put the oil, lemons, bread, salt and pepper out.

To serve

Every person has a plate.
Each person pours a little oil onto the plate, garnishes with salt, pepper lemon juice according to taste.
Each person dips bread and eats.

Variation

Definitely some wine goes well.
A few olives (find the best that are going).
Some feta cheese.
Olive oil can be herbified with some mint or basil.
Chili powder also goes ok by the pinch.

Greek Meze Variation

Provide each person with a small bowl, and serve as above with the addition of balsamic vinegar.
A little vinegar and oil is poured into the bowl, and the bread is dipped through the oil into the sweet tartness of the balsamic vinegar.
Meze: Serve with Retsina, or a sharp FAIRTRADE white.
