خلفية ثقافية
The 'Souvlaki' is the king of Greek fast food. It is often considered a complete meal (protein, carb, veg) rather than 'junk' food. In Cyprus, 'fast food' often includes 'Sheftalia'. The portions are typically larger than in mainland Greece. The 'Vromiko' (Dirty) culture involves food trucks parked at specific squares after midnight, serving sandwiches with everything in them. There is a growing 'Slow Food' movement in Greece that explicitly campaigns against 'γρήγορο φαγητό' to protect traditional recipes.
The 'Souvlaki' Exception
If you want to sound like a local, don't call souvlaki 'fast food' in a derogatory way. It's a national treasure!
Article Usage
Always use the article 'το' when talking about fast food as a concept. 'Το γρήγορο φαγητό είναι παντού.'
