Traditional Greek souvlaki is the perfect portable street food - meat grilled on a skewer and served on pitta bread with tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, onions and, sometimes, fries. Made well and served fresh, it is absolutely delicious - just the thing to eat after swimming all day (or after going out drinking all night).

Serve it alongside a Greek salad of chunked tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.
