About Skordalia:  Skordalia is a Greek garlic dip or spread made by combining crushed garlic with a thick base such as day-old bread or pureed potatoes. It uses lots of olive oil and either fresh lemon juice or wine vinegar.  Some recipes add nuts such as almonds or walnuts.
This type of recipe can be found in many countries such as France or Spain that have aioli and allioli. The Lebanese have toum and Turks enjoy tarator.
