Moose Moussaka image

Are you cooking Greek Dinner? Moose Moussaka: a Greek Casserole with alternating layers of eggplant and ground Moose Meat in tomato sauce topped with white sauce. One of my wife's friends says this about her Moussaka Recipe, "My mom is from Greece and you make better Moussaka than she does. But if you tell her that I'll deny I said it."
