karpoúzi

καρπούζι

Watermelon. A refreshing favourite in summer, when you can buy it off the back of pick-up trucks with megaphones blasting out 'karpooooooozi!!!'

The latest trend is to use it in a salad with feta, setting off its natural sweetness with the rich saltiness of the cheese.

Fruit, nuts & seeds
