[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1345462, member: 30007"] I think you may be over-romanticising those dishes a little. There are tons of sweet flavours in mediterranean savoury foods, including balsamic vinegar and honey. And if you dig through the range of, for example, greek, italian or french dishes, no, they may not all come with Chips, but plenty of them use rice, potatoes, pastry (Filo) and pasta to a huge extent, so I think your ruminations over what is considered good or bad plates is sorely misplaced. I've spent plenty of time in the south of France, Spain and Greece and just because there is an option of olives or salamis, doesn't mean that's all they serve, even as snacks. One of the biggest mediterranean foods is paella, which you'd hardly call low carb.... [/QUOTE]
