Still, this is a tasty way to prepare for a street demonstration or factory occupation and, as it will undoubtedly be our turn soon, you might like to make a note of it.

This is the kind of food that enables "lazy" Greek workers, the ones who have been "living beyond their means," to put in the EU's longest hours for insultingly low wages, as opposed to wherever it is that the Daily Mail lives.

What to do

Mix together the lemon juice, herbs and garlic, salt and pepper, add the potato wedges and toss them well in an oven-proof dish. Stand them in a cool place but not the fridge for about an hour.

During this time preheat the oven to 180°C/350F/Mark 4. At the end of the hour pour the oil over the potatoes and stir to coat them. Cover the dish, use tin foil if it doesn't have a lid, and roast for one hour.

Remove the cover and continue roasting for 30 minutes more, stirring them a couple of times. The potatoes should now be cooked through and light brown. If they aren't completely cooked, just give them a few more minutes. If they're browned and not cooked, cover them again before doing so. Serve with anything!
