Even though Greek kitchens tend to be quite modern, you can still find excellent wooden utensils -- some made from olive trees!

One reports that he has heard that "a lot of dust will come from Africa over the weekend" -- not uncommon here in Greece, and clearly more relevant here in the Peloponessos. And definitely not conducive to outdoor cooking that takes many hours turning a spit by hand, though many people have barbques with spits turned by DEH (the electric company). Why not just take a piece of lamb to one of the village fournos (bakeries)?Another laments the guest list issue. His son won't come to the village. And his son-in-law has nixed a visit -- going to his side of the family (or just doesn't have the money to bring the family from Athens)? Yeah, pipes up Traveler #3: You need to have at least 10 people to justify roasting a lamb these days.So consensus seems to have formed around using the local forno for a specific, needed quantity...or, perhaps, visiting a neighbor who has roasted a lamb :)And there you have it!NOTE: Am now wondering if and where I will eat lamb myself Sunday in Kyparissi. And, more importantly, magheiritsa. Should I worry?Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network.
