意思
Freshly baked bread.
文化背景
Bread is often served with every meal, regardless of the cuisine. It is used to 'vouti' (dip) into salad juices or sauces. Bread is central to religious life. The 'Prosphoro' is a special warm bread baked by parishioners for the Eucharist. In Cyprus, 'zesto psomi' often refers to traditional sourdough or 'koulouri' bread which is denser than mainland Greek bread. The city is famous for its 'Koulouri,' a sesame bread ring. While not a loaf, it is best enjoyed 'zesto' from street vendors.
The 'Bakery' Rule
If you see a sign saying 'Αρτοποιείο' or 'Φούρνος', that's where the 'zesto psomi' is!
Gender Agreement
Remember 'psomi' is neuter. Don't say 'zesti psomi' (feminine) or 'zestos psomi' (masculine).

Don't Waste
Greeks respect bread. Even if it's not 'zesto' anymore, try to use it for toast or croutons.
