No produce shortage at Greek-owned delis as people prepare for Easter cooking

·

Ever since the coronavirus outbreak began, people have been swarming supermarkets and panic buying living essentials such as pasta, rice and flour.

This has thrown a spanner in the works for Greek people across Australia as they prepare for Greek Orthodox Easter this week. Many of those products which are now out-of-stock are key ingredients in traditional Greek dishes and desserts such as mageritsa, koulourakia and tsourekia. And what about the dye which is typically used for the eggs on Holy Thursday?

Luckily for all of us, Greek delis across Sydney have us covered. Here are a few which can support our Easter needs:
