Garlic dip
Skordalia is a pungent Greek garlic dip made by pounding garlic with a base of bread, potatoes, or sometimes ground almonds or walnuts, then emulsifying it with olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice. It is classically paired with fried salt cod (bakaliaros), especially as part of the traditional March 25th and Palm Sunday meals, and is also served alongside fried vegetables or boiled beets.

- Why Skordalia Is an Old-Athens Taverna Dish
A verified review of 25 real, currently operating Greek businesses connected to skordalia found that skordalia is best understood as an old-city taverna dish, with a clear concentration in historic Athens rather than in one producing region. It also found that skordalia is overwhelmingly a fresh restaurant dish, not a packaged product: 24 of the 25 businesses serve it, and only one sells it in tubs.
