Navigating Greek Tavernas with EoE: Your Safe Dining Guide

Dining at a Greek taverna should be a joyous celebration of vibrant flavors, but for those managing Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), it can feel like navigating a culinary minefield. Between creamy tzatziki, wheat-based pita bread, and nut-thickened sauces, common Greek staples often contain high-risk triggers. The mm food app transforms this challenge into confidence by putting safety back on your plate.

Why Greek Cuisine Poses Unique EoE Challenges

Greek dishes frequently feature:

• Dairy (feta, yogurt sauces like tzatziki)
• Wheat (pita, pastitsio, phyllo pastries)
• Eggs (avgolemono sauce, desserts)
• Soy (hidden in oils or marinades)
  Cross-contamination risks also abound in busy kitchens using shared grills and fryers.

2. EoE Trigger Analysis:
   Input your personalized triggers (like dairy, wheat, or custom restrictions). The app scans dish descriptions flagging unsafe ingredients and suggesting safer alternatives.
3. Taverna-Tested Strategies:
   • Favor simple grilled meats (souvlaki) and fish (psari) – ask for no marinades.
   • Target naturally safe sides: lemon-potato wedges (verify oil type) and Greek salads (omit feta).
   • Use mm food’s "Ask Kitchen" feature to generate custom chef requests in Greek, like: "Chicken souvlaki plain-grilled, no sauce, with steamed vegetables?"
