As a Turk, I love the fact that Greek and Turkish food are very similar, and I am so tired of the "food origin" conflict between us, why does it even matter who made a dish first? Culture is not a competition, it's a reflection of us sharing the same space for centuries. This similarity gives me a sense of fraternity, it just shows that we enjoy the same tastes and if we share a meal, it will be familiar and lovely. Like, I would eat everything in this video without hesitation because I know these dishes, and I already love them. This is wonderful, we should be celebrating this! Anyway, great video Beryl, as always.💕

[@paulm3952]

I wish there was a word I could use to describe both and no one would be bothered. Adriatic food?

[@britvica]

There is: mediterranian food/diet. I just find it funny (as a muslim from bosnia) how greeks call that eggplant dish a greek dish, considering the name "Imam" is the name for the funktion like an islamic preast (guides a prayer in a mosque, preaches in the mosque on friday)...I mean...the answer is in the name...but yeah...some things will never change I guess, things like greek and turk rivalry.

[@Dizikolik3]

​@@britvica yeah, why claim something as greek when it's literally obvious that the origin is definitely not theirs🙄 that's why all the rivalry originates from which is really sad. Just say mediterranean and everyone will be happy and this nonesense will stop

[@Stagonas]

@@britvica I am in total agreement with the OP. I am tired of the repetitive food origin online debates and I wish people would just let it go and just enjoy the food! Having said that, to give some insight on the naming aspect, we were under Turkish oppression for 400 years. Putting that in terms of generations (according to wikipedia, a generation is 20-30 years so let's take the average of 25), that's 16 generations! Naturally, after 4 centuries we kept a few Turkish words.

[@mariapapa6370]

​@@britvica to be fair everyone in Greece knows imam is Turkish we just love it so we make it all the time.

[@embrio18]

Unfortunately the greek cousine is not really represented well outside the country😂. There are tons of fantastic dishes- most vegetarian and with legumes, lots of fish and seafood- but only a handfull meat dishes are well known abroad. They are tasty too- but the greek diet has so much more to offer! And is very healthy too😊

[@emmaincalico]

Some problem we have with the Italian ones!

[@88kayleigh]

I wish I could find some of these dishes at Greek restaurants here! But it’s pretty much souvlaki, spanakopita or nothing 😅

[@paulwagner688]

My brother married into a Greek family. The pastitsio, lamb, avgolemono, and such are all homemade.

[@Freaky0Nina]

I would love to visit a greek restaurant again. But right now, every meal in those restaurants contains meat so no greek flavors for me... :/

[@epowell4211]

Americans are great for picking out the least healthy and most familiar dishes from any cuisine's menu, making it more "American" (aka bland, uninspired) and convincing the folks back home that's traditional. Good business people from other countries open restaurants in America and change their style to serve food more appealing to Americans. They might have the same ingredients, but change proportions, or serve daily food that is traditionally served only on special occasions in their own country. It's sad.

[@geekwif]

"Put feta cheese on everything." Agree 100%. Feta in scrambled eggs is a revelation.

[@helgaioannidis9365]

Try french fries with oregano and Feta.

[@n0n570p]

I mean, we even do this 100% (I am Greek). My granpa ate feta with watermelon, or grapes :D and it's actually pretty good! Also feta covered with philo, baked in the oven with honey on top... We do some weird stuff with feta and it's all awesome.

[@helgaioannidis9365]

@@n0n570p watermelon with feta is delicious!!! And Feta with honey and sesame is also such a great combination. Now I'm hungry 🤤

[@annettespradlin4945]

Cheese with fruits and nuts is really tasty.

[@perseusarkouda]

@Desiree Payne As a Greek I prefer goat cheese over feta. Much more aromatic and less buttery.

[@lisahinton9682]

I love that you used the word "wench," Beryl. I got a write-up at a job about eight years ago for using the word and I implored my boss that "wench" is not a "bad word," but he would not back down. So, Nick Kennedy, if you're out there reading this, you can, once again, go pound sand. 🙂

[@BerylShereshewsky]

hahahah

[@caroleberreur9585]

Ugh, same revenge thing I got going on with an ex boss who reprimanded me for saying ‘we shouldn’t pussy foot around her’. For some reason she thought I was extremely rude using that expression (her own mind was in the gutter, not mine). 😮🤦🏻‍♀️

[@mjking9019]

Definitely need an eggplant episode. Your entire meal looks so delicious and actually looks like items I would enjoy. Often during this series you have an item or two, I know wouldn't be for me but in this one I think I would love all of the items.

[@shevahauser1780]

iv been waiting fot that! i have a great eggplant one

[@littleblackcar]

Thirding this: Please do an eggplant episode.

[@characterblub]

I absolutely love eggplant! Especially with cheese and spaghetti sauce

[@sarahwatts7152]

I'm on the fence about eggplant, I'd love to see lots of variations

[@cjtorres5917]

YES! More eggplant!

[@eugenemetayhas]

Thank you for featuring these dishes! As a Greek American, I feel like Greek restaurants here in the US are way too meat heavy when Greeks generally eat much more vegetarian dishes. Seafood is something we do eat a lot more of than the average American as it is much cheaper in Greece. Also we definitely don't eat pita bread unless we have gyro or souvlaki, and those are fast food. I always found it funny to see gyro on restaurant menus here in the US.

[@ujjyaini332]

Next I would like to see French food because when we think about french food we always think about fine dinning but what do normal everyday french people order in to eat

[@sarawinardi6745]

Same

[@hithisismira]

Tbh I've never seen a French restaurant here

[@ninab9969]

Kind of alarmed that they charged you $16 for gigantes, but I'm glad you like them. 😄 You absolutely have to try Pastitsio (a delicious pasta bake) and Loukoumades (little fried doughnuts in syrup). Absolute comfort foods!

[@Axeldiedtimeago]

Greek food is so underrated imo. People complain the lack of seasoning and spices. I just love how fresh and light but filling their dishes are.

[@nozee77]

Where I live, Greek restaurants are amongst the most popular. Funny how that differs.

[@Axeldiedtimeago]

​@@nozee77 oh no doubt Greek food is popular in certain parts in London but its London and we also got spoiled for Caribbean food or South Asian food. That's why a lot of people in my areas find Greek food 'bland'.

[@ooopticnerveee]

That's crazy, because I've always found Greek food to be insanely flavorful 😍

[@Axeldiedtimeago]

​​@@ooopticnerveee compared to indian and Jamaican food, I understand why they say that with Mediterranean/Arab cuisines but still don't like spice snobbery. I grew up with indian food and it's great but man I do regularly crave some simple lemon potatoes, big chunk of feta, souvlaki and tzatziki.

[@Rose-jz6sx]

I like the comparative simplicity and lightness and the liberal use of oregano.

[@tajr.2650]

The lemon chicken soup is absolutely delicious. So light and refreshing. Try it next time you order!

[@adedow1333]

Avgolemono is amazing 😍

[@tajr.2650]

@@adedow1333 yes that’s the name! Thank you for that. 😀

[@terriedahl9725]

My favorite, also spanakopita spelling is wrong I am sure.

[@danaeclean1328]

KOTOSOUPA SUPREMACY YES

[@perseusarkouda]

@@terriedahl9725 Your spelling is spot on. 👍

[@ariellaryner7740]

The galaktobouriko you had didn't look as good as it could be. It's the best Greek dessert and even better when it's still warm

[@emvatis]

Was also missing crispiness and syrupiness 🤷‍♂

[@artemisroukounakis2287]

you might also like to taste it during a hot summer afternoon, after it have sat for a couple of hour in the fridge ;)

[@marycronopulosraz9776]

Come on. We have melamakarona, kourambiedes, galatopita, karidopita, portokalopita, kokkakia, koulourakia, etc. Most Americans have no idea. My non Greek friends loved to be invited for dinner at my home. At times, they would turn up their noses out of complete ignorance. After daring them to try one bite, they would make gluttons of themselves.😅

[@vasts1479]

I agree with you, it looks blunt and miserable. Not enough fyllo, not enough syrup.

[@manlindabelle]

As an Australian it's pretty wild to me that you haven't had lamb shanks before. They're ubiquitous here. Highly encourage and approve of all lamb shank dishes!

[@jujutrini8412]

Americans, in general, don’t eat much lamb. Lamb shanks is one of my favourite things to eat.

[@Amyduckie]

Yes I was thinking the same thing! So good!

[@swtenz]

Me too! Although her eating it with her hands was wild to me - the slow cook means you can push the meat off easily and just eat with fork like normal.

[@johnkinsela77]

I've never seen them prepared like that. I'm used to the entire shank, not one that's been cut in half.

[@markriffey8899]

I like lamb fine. Here in the states, it's about 2 or 3 times more expensive than beef, which is 2 or 3 times the price it was a few years ago.

[@czemuczemuczemu1958]

Let’s not forget about the quality of the Greek produce! That’s already like 50% of the amazing flavors

[@sallycormier1383]

Greek desserts are the bomb! Our local Greek Orthodox Church has a festival twice a year. They always serve food and have two cafeteria lines doling it out. One of which is just desserts!!! I always get a variety(they will box them up for you) and all are delicious!!!❤ It also takes me back to my childhood growing up on Long Island and going to the Greek fairs.

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

Thank you Beryl for including more vegetarian/ vegan dishes in this episode! We appreciate you! Gigantes are one of my favorite dishes. I created a video on my Craveg channel where I demonstrate cooking (for the first time) vegetarian Greek Easter dishes.

[@loricole4906]

One of my all-time favorite Greek flavors is avgolemono (egg-lemon sauce). It's best known as a chicken soup, but there are fish and vegetarian variations on that theme. *So* delicious!

[@jerim4543]

One of my good High School friends was Greek American. When her Grandmother would come every year for Orthodox Easter week, she could have sold tickets like a Taylor Swift concert. The highlight was her koulourakia (totally had to Google). It's a barely sweet cookie that melts in your mouth and is totally addictive. Toni, if you're a follower, I still think about your YaYa's cookies and how are you doing?

[@oh.bessssie]

My girlfriend is Greek and she just introduced me to Galaktompouriko this past weekend. Totally sharing this video with her.

[@debgeisler4568]

Leftover Galaktoboureko makes an exceptional breakfast too. :-)

[@Gretaly]

what leftover??? there's no such a thing as leftover galaktoboureko 😂

[@panagiotadrosou5341]

​@@Gretaly I couldn't agree more...😂😂😂 Greek here

[@nozee77]

Yes to an Eggplant episode!!! 💜💜💜

[@smtpgirl]

I know a Greek family that owned a Greek seafood restaurant and they had Galaktompouriko as one of the dessert choices. ONE OF THE BEST desserts I have ever had, along with Easter pie.

[@willeon23]

Greetings from northern Greece! Great choices from my fellow greeks

[@mouhitorinoboku9655]

if you get a chance try greek grilled octopus, it's delicious! my parents always loved going out for greek when my sister and i were growing up, so that was how i first tried octopus and lamb (i love that orzo and lamb dish, i've had it before a couple different times), i do love spanakopita too though (the way i first started eating spinach lol).

[@jmanzo2009]

So glad that someone had you try galaktoboureko, way better than baklava. Also, don't worry about eating it with your hands, when I worked at a greek restaurant we all ate slices with our hands.

[@cjtorres5917]

That "Imam" is clearly a Hellenic version of the famous Middle Eastern "Imam Bayildi," or "The Imam Fainted." He fainted either because it used so much expensive olive oil or because it was just that good. Speaking of which, the Shawwal moon has just been sighted here in North America. Eid Mubarak!

[@RizouliAnastasia]

Eid Mubarak my friend. Imam is indeed the greek version of Imam Bayildi. In north greece we call it Imam bayildi as well, the full name. Northern greece has a lot of imigrands from east and greece has a great history with middle east as well

[@andreacontreras2278]

Yes, please: eggplants!! As usual, great episode. Thanks.

[@misss7777]

I loove Imam Bayildi. So does my Greek boyfried. Luckily it is just as simple and effortlessly cooked as Pasta with Tomato sauce just with roasted Egglants. Making the sauce, baking the eggplants solo and finally baking the eggplants with the sauce. The sauce can even been made in advance the day before. Another favorite of mine is Spinakorizo with an egg on top. Simple but jusz delicious.

[@mirmohammad66]

We have all these various really different dishes with eggplants in Iran. I would be amazed to see you make a serry on eggplant 😍 specially with persian ones

[@TheDancingAoikitsune]

It made me really excited to see my culture and cuisine highlighted on your channel. Thank you for showing the world we're more than horiatiki salad, moussaka, and baklava. There's so much more to Greek food than that.

[@RiaGreece12]

You can make the eggplant dish with minced mean as well!Also that Giouvetsi looks a bit dry but you can find different variations of it.We typically give color to the meat(typically beef) on the stove top,then remove it and add lots of onions,garlic,carrots,bay leaves,tomato paste,tomato sauce,oregano,pepper corns,salt and peper and some water and then add the meat back in to cook it for like 2 hours.When its done cooking (kinda),we put olive oil in a different pot/pan and cook the orzo till it turns golden(it should be uncooked aka dry pasta).Then we add everything itno a huge oval dutch oven(or even a tray) and cover with a li or parchment paper and cook in the oven for like an hour till it looks saucy (like rizzoto) but not super dry.Also we check if it need some more water if the orzo isnt cooked.I guess you can try and make it with other small pasta but you have to follow the exact same steps,to fry the pasta in oil.That prevets it from turning into a block and sticking together in the oven.In my household we add leaks as well and red wine and like 6-8 onions cut in half moon shape for like 1,5kg of meat.It takes some time to make but the result is amazing!

[@lenalyles2712]

Absolutely love Greek food, had a hard time finding a Greek restaurant when we first retired from the Army. Found one and that's what my Father wanted when he was in the hospital.

[@DeniseMarieplaylearnteach]

I loved this episode as Greek and Turkish foods are so flavorful. Cute haircut! Also, can you please tell us about those clay figures on the table? They are so sweet!

[@Philippakis52]

Try doing Spetzofai, its a very simple Greek dish , sausage par fried in olive oil, left to cool then cut into inch pieces , reserve oil. Twice the amount of green peppers, long types, as found in Mediterrean food shops, ( Greek , Turkish, Etc, ) cut into inches again , sauteed till softened, add all including the olive oil into a casserole , add tinned chopped tomatoes to cover, passata to assist ,. Bring to a slow simmer for 1 to 2 hours ( slow cooker even better, over night), turn off , leave to next day . Reheat to warm hot, serve with lots of fresh bread , mezedakia, chilled Retsina , and most of all good company. Basically its a autumnal dish , not high class , but for good friends

[@akankshapatwari4167]

I love Galataboureko and pasavourpita or old rag pie to give its English name

[@zak3744]

I used to live in a place with an amazing Greek bakery/cafe just down the road. I don't live there any more and the cafe closed down in the pandemic. It's genuinely one of the saddest things in my life that I will never be able to eat their tyropita ever again. 😭

[@annualize5372]

Greek food is so great! I used to spend a lot of summers in Greece and got to try a lot of great food. Giouvetsi is such a nice dish, I am used to it having cinnamon in it too, which sounds weird at first but fits very nicely!

[@horsenuts1831]

As a European (Brit) who has been to Greece many times, I think that Greek food only works well when it is simple. Don't mess around with it - it should be plain, and never sophisticated (in a way, it is like British food - keep it simple). A simple Greek salad in the afternoon sunshine on a Greek island has to be perfection.

I was in Greece for my honeymoon in February and we ate so much amazing food! The best things we ate was the amazing seafood in Volos (taramosalata, fried cuttlefish, grilled octopus), all the amazing cheeses (feta of course but also kefalotiri and mezythra) in Athens and Thessaloniki, gemista (stuffed vegetables) in Kalambaka, and so many good wines. And I had horta like every day lol, sometimes twice a day. And we had gigantes plaki at least once. The things that surprised me most about Greek food was that while they eat a lot of bread, it's almost never pita. They mostly seem to have loaf breads, and they're different every time! That, and the "flaming cheese" many North Americans associate with Greek restaurants is Not A Thing there; apparently saganaki on fire was invented by a Greek immigrant restaurateur in Chicago in the 1980s or something.

[@veganhopes4049]

Exactly you’ll only ever see that in Greece if the owners had worked in the restaurant business in the US or Canada and local Greeks will look curious as to what the dish is lol
