Cheeky chicken! 4p1h5a

When I first moved to Greece, my knowledge of Greek was what I had picked up in the street. So when I began to venture into the supermarkets to shop on my own, I ordered a kilo of kotopoulo vizakia, or what I thought was a kilo of 'chicken breast'. The butcher laughed so hard he called his friend over and asked me to repeat my request. Imagine my embarrassment when I learned that I had ordered a kilo of 'chicken tits'!

Editor's note: What Kelly should have said is kotopoulo stithos.
