Hot stuff :)

A typical Greek salad is made with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, black olives, perhaps some green and/or red bell (sweet) peppers, and, of course, feta cheese, a crumbly Greek cheese so salty that it's a wonder it doesn't give people with high blood pressure instant heart attacks.

You know you're living in an ethnically-mixed neighborhood when the local diner starts adding Mexican jalapenos (hot--and I mean hot!!!--chili peppers) to its Greek salad. It's a good thing I know better than to eat jalapenos. If I ever ate one, they'd have to call the fire department to put out the five-alarm fire in my mouth! :)
