A Touch of Spice (Greek: Πολίτικη Κουζίνα/Politiki Kouzina) is a 2003 Greek film directed by Tassos Boulmetis and starring Georges Corraface as the character of the adult Fanis Iakovides. The original Greek title is Πολίτικη Κουζίνα (Politiki Kouzina) which means Cuisine of the City and refers to the Cuisine of Constantinople. However, in the film’s promotional material, the word Politiki of the title is depicted in capital letters, therefore allowing an alternative reading of the title, due to the lack of stress marks, as Πολιτική Κουζίνα (Politiki Kouzina) which means Political Cuisine signifying the important role that politics played in the lives of the main characters.
