"Onions are a staple for Greeks; every dish starts off by simmering onions, people even buy them to decorate kitchens and balconies," explains Costas Manesis, who sells onions at Laiki. "But now they're buying half as much … you don't need to cut onions anymore to cry."
„Luk je Grcima jako važan; priprema svakog jela počinje dinstanjem luka, ljudi ih čak kupuju da ukrase kuhinju i terase“, objašnjava Kostas Manesis, koji prodaje luk na laikiju. „Ali, sada kupuju polovinu onoga što su kupovali … više ne morate da isečete luk da biste plakali.“
