As an inbreed swede what can I give as a gift for an 50+ greek dude?
​
I had one mission. To get gyros for a friend. We have this great greek foodtruck around the corner and I went for it 21:30 o'clock. I had just been there lunch time once before.
I asked this super nice 50 plus year old greek owner if he was open and he said "I am here obviously..." I orded the dish and we made small talk. He told me about his daugthers and their lifes (3 daughters, a great wife and been married 150 years). He talked about the struggles of his business, about respect of others and about everything in life.
I asked him when I got the gyros (it was a m a z i n g by the way) with the sauce, the bread and the soft drink when his business close because I did not doublechecked it before. He said that "I close at 20:00.
I was confused because I went there one and a half hour after his closing time. He repeted that "I am here" and shrugged. When I tried to pay he refused to take my money. I was fighting for it because I was planning to give him a big tip but he refused.
So summa summarum, I want to give him something as a gift without being weird but I don't know anything about greek coulture. Is there any special candy, special things that I can try to find?
