@Ilija Stojanoski You're just an uneducated nationalist. Macedonia is Greek,you have your own country,your own language and your own culture,focus on that and raise your country.

[@anna-mariagio3391]

Koulouri used to be sold with small pieces of feta cheese on the side (until the late ‘60s)

[@anna-mariagio3391]

Macedonia is a Greek province, located in Northern Greece. It has always been Greek and the way to distinguish it is that Macedonians spoke Greek, worshiped Greek gods and considered themselves to be greek. Everything else is just a desperate attempt to forge history and claim it due to Slavic people’s lack of own history and identity. STOP STEALING OUR HISTORY AND IDENTITY

This is a very good presentation of Thessaloniki's street food. The pie is indeed Spanakopita, the Gyros cost 7€ because it was a portion, while a wrap costs up to 3€. The desert "trigona Panoramatos" translates as 'triangles from Panorama', Panorama being a suburb with a panoramic view of the city.

when I'm drunk in Thessaloniki, and it's not winter time to go for a patsa (meat soup) which helps with hangover, I buy 4:06 coulouri from local bakeries. Bakeries get coulouri right off the oven at around 5 , 5:30 in the morning. So imagine a hot coulouri on my left hand, and a cold feta cheese on my right. I love this combination. Tastes of Thessaloniki

[@sketchqueen]

Some tips from a greek person: The reason you did not get a wrap is because you asked for "gyro" which in greek refers to just the meat part (gyro means rotation or "around" in greek, therefore any meat cooked this way be it pork/chicken etc is called gyro) . If you want to get the wrap, then you will have to ask for a "pita gyro" which specifies that you are asking for the gyro wrap :) Also, if you want to get the classic filling (pita bread, pork, tzatziki, potatoes, tomato, onion) you can order a "pita gyro ap ola"--> literally means pita gyro with everything.

[@nikofloros]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the food in my city! I love to see Thessaloniki get some tourist love! Especially for our food scene which is wonderful! To answer some of your questions and give some extra information: The spinach pie you were eating which you called a spanakopita (btw it's pronounced spanaKOpita and definitely not spanakoPIta haha) is of course also just called that in Greek (written σπανακόπιτα). That category of "pies" are colectively just called Pitas (just like the bread which, I know, is confusing to foreigners). So a spanakopita is just a spanaki(spinach) pita; if it had just cheese it would be a tiropita or a tiri (cheese) pita and so on. Koulouri bread that you compared to a Montreal bagel (which I totally agree is a great comparison) actually goes bad to ancient times in one form or another, but it's modern form and popularity do indeed come from when Greeks living in Anatolia (wester and norther Turkey) were forced to leave and migrate to Greece. It was a terrible time, but they did bring with them wonderful food and music that just different enough from other Greeks to create amazing blends of food and culture. Also, we don't ever butter them (butter isn't a big thing in Greece since we have olive oil). That kind of coulouri we usually just eat dry like that while we're drinking coffee in the morning. Especially when their still warm... It's the best! There is another version of the koulouri made a little differently with cheese inside of it which is also delicious. Also, not that you have any reason to know this, but the "phyllo" dough that you're pronouncing as FA-ee-low dough is actually pronounce FEE-low :) Anyway, cheers and I hope you had a wonderful trip!

[@AlexisOGrekos]

Glad you liked my birthplace! Thessaloniki has the biggest university of the country (Aristotle) with like 75k students, that's why cheap streed food thrives. Most foods are inspired from Asia Minor which was Greek for thousands of years and today is modern Turkey, population forced to move out of there because of the massacares (my grandparents too) and opened restaurants and shops here, this is why the city has an eastern-like orientation towards most foods. Sadly if you are vegan you don't have many choices, probably you would go for a Falafel or a pita with potatoes, although last years more vegan restaurants are opening here and shows some promise.

If you do not eat after five in the afternoon, absolutely nothing, and at the main meal getting up from the table a little hungry, you will lose 15 kg Once on a Saturday, I ate both in the afternoon and at parties with friends. Self-restraint and everything in proportion. In the afternoon if you are very hungry take some dry bread or biscuit. Not many drinks. Lots of salad with food. You will see the result in a few months. Monitor your weight twice a week. And you'll be okay.

Feta is wrapped in a thin layer of crust phyllo (yes the one used in the custard cones you ate, just salty) and fried in olive oil, or you can find it dipped in kourkouti (a mixture of plain wheat flour and water) and then fried, with the addition of sesame and honey.

So nice video!! I am from Thessaloniki and watching the video made me want to go out and eat! We have great food all over Greece but you have to know which restaurant or shop has the best. You seem to pick the good ones! For history, trIgona is a dessert that is made from a man called Elenidis from the region Panorama Thessalonikis. So the most known trigona in town are from Elenidis. But many other dessert shops have also good ones. You also have to visit the east part of the city, like Vaphopoulou street - Sofouli street - Marina of Krini region for a nice walk and food. ( Sorry for my English guys! )

[@guccijay6376]

THOSE STREET FOODS ARE SO DELICIOUS YUM YUM KEEP IT UP GUYS AND KEEP SAFE ALWAYS

[@Kats072307]

You should try 0. Eat Peinirli as for breakfast. You can find them in almost all bakeries 1. Tsinari , during midday to try local alcohol called tsipouro with seafood meze 2. Try and buy the sweets called Revani (or Revani Veroias), also Galaktompoureko, the sweet bread called Tsoureki from Terkenlis and again the Trigono, but this time from the store called Elenidis. 3. A trip until Peraia Thessalonikis if the weather is good to sit next to the sea and eat fresh seafood (be aware that their English might not be good there) 4. Late during nightime in Bit Bazaar for cheap wine and later for a souvlaki or panseta in the Mama Teresa 5. You can also refer in your video on the cheap meals you can get as a student in the street called Melenikou close to the Universities, as Thessaloniki is a student town 6. Last but not least eat Crepe in Nauarinou street from Valentino. A salty Crepe with everything you might choose from the buffet over there. You will love it

Before the Greek genocide, there were many Greeks living in Asia Minor. And they were the majority in the west and north east (Pontus) of the peninsula. Part of the genocide was the Asia Minor catastrophe in 1922 where many Greek cities and towns in ionia were burned down by the Turks. The most tragic was Smyrna, which was an architectural marble and a thriving city. There also used to be Greeks in cappadocia too up until the 20th century. In the medieval ages, the whole peninsula apart maybe from the very eastern parts of it (like commagene which continually got conquered) were Greek. These Greeks were known as Anatolian/ Asia Minor Greeks.

They also make cheese pies in the same way with horiatiko filo. (village pastry). They all fall under the pie category which is quite extensive in greece and we love our pies, all sorts of them, village ones, twisted ones, crispy filo ones, round ones, with all our greek cheeses, feta, graviera, mizithra etc. or pies without filo, you name it we make it.

you missed an opportunity to get tsoureki from that pastry shop at the end. they are well known for it. preferably with white chocolate glaze and sweet chestnut filling. the trigono should be crunchy and not chewy. was probably stale :P should have gotten to the source, panorama region of thessaloniki. the difference between doner and gyro is that the one is minced lamb meat, while the other is sheets of pork on top of each other. tzatziki also has garlic on top of all the rest. nice video btw :D

[@nandadoc]

So glad you enjoyed our food! So, some more info. The first thing you ate, bougatsa, is commonly eatten with a glass of cocoa milk. Also, it's not phyllo. That dough is called bougatsa. But the filling can be cream, cheese, spinach, even minced meat. The last thing you ate, trigona panoramatos. Trigono means triangle. Panoramatos means from Panorama which is an area in Thessaloniki. And the base is phyllo which is drowned in syrop, that's why it's sticky. Katsamaka for me is one of the best places. You should have tried kokoretsi. It's amazing!

Pita is a Greek word for pie although I think we have very different definitions of what a pie is 😂 basically it's layers of fyllo dough with different kinds of fillings.

Καλό βράδυ από την Ελλάδα Good evening from Greece

[@helenvictoria8880]

Drooling over the food...I absolutely love bougatsa...I want some now 😝💖

[@plonss]

I was recently again in Thessaloniki, after many years. The food we had was delicious, of much better quality than the streetfood in neighbouring Turkey, which is often so much praised by travellers. And ... Greece is not only about food, the general atmosphere in the country, is something not matched by any other place.

[@sonic592]

Now you just realized, why there are no Mc donalds restorants in Thessaloniki! :p

[@sonic592]

@lostintimeline no there's not. There is one near airport, and one to the other side, at the edge of town. In a city more that a million, there is no mc Donald's down town.

McDonalds failed in Greece because of Souvlaki and Gyros

@lostintimeline Technically one of the mcdonalds is outside the city. Kind of. The other is in One Salonica Mall (top floor) which is definitely within the city limits. :p There used to be more of them. Same with KFC. Now there is only one KFC, outside the city.

[@kat.b.9487]

Bougatsa is for every hour of the day guys!!!🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@AussieAngeS]

Oh wow the food there in Greece looks fantastic, gyro are my most favourite wrap/sandwich also. It’s funny because here in Australia, we call those souvlaki. That dessert at the end had me drooling 🤤. Love you guys, you two are so humble. 🥰

[@Flyingjos]

"Souvlaki" it is called wrongly in Athens. "Souvlaki" is actually a small kebab. "Gyros" on the other hand is the pork or chicken meat slices. "Pita gyros" is the sandwich with the meat slices. "Pita souvlaki" is the sandwich with the small kebab. But in Athens they are lazy with words so instead of "pita gyros" they say "souvlaki"... And when they order the small kebab alone without the sandwich they say "kalamaki" instead of "souvlaki"... Hilariously, "kalamaki" is the small piece of wood penetrating the meat

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We call that souvlaki in Canada too. haha... omg that dessert though. So good! - Anna

[@AussieAngeS]

Joseph Modiotis that is so interesting lol

[@Elbierth]

@@Flyingjos hilariously λέγεται καλαμάκι γιατί φτιάχνεται από καλάμι (bamboo) ημιμαθη πατριώτη. Και τα πιτογυρα δεν είναι αμφιψωμα για να τα λέμε sandwich αλλά τυλιχτα (wrap)

[@Flyingjos]

@@Elbierth Σε εσένα που σπεύδεις ως άλλος μορφωμένος παραθέτω τις ημιμαθής γνώσεις μου. Καλάμι - καλαμιά γενική κατηγορία φυτών που ενώ ανήκουν στην οικογένεια Poaceae δεν έχουν καμία σχέση με τα φυτά της υποοικογενειας των Bamboosoideae. Η καλαμιά αναφέρεται συνήθως σε ποικιλίες του Arundo Donax που... δεν έχει σχέση με το bamboo σου. Φυσικά λόγω της χρήσης του σε κατασκευή μουσικων όργανων και της ιδιότητας του κλπ δάνεισε το όνομα του και στα πλαστικά καλαμάκια του καφέ και των αναψυκτικών. Η σούβλα από την άλλη και η μικρή σούβλα το σουβλάκι είναι το αιχμηρό ξύλο - μέταλλο - ότι θες, που χρησιμοποιείται για την διάτρηση του κρέατος... Για αυτό τον Αθανάσιο Διάκο τον σουβλίσανε, δεν τον καλαμώσανε σαΐνη μου. Αν στην Αθήνα επιλέγουν να έχουν αυτόν τον ανόητο χαρακτηρισμό είναι πρόβλημα τους... υδροκεφαλοι είναι ούτως ή άλλως. Αυτά για την ακρίβεια των πραγμάτων επειδή σε πείραξε το sandwich αντί το wrap.... Έπεσες σε ημημαθή γεωπόνο με σπουδές και στη τεχνολογία τροφίμων καημένε...

[@alexandroskanenlopoulos2591]

Great food choises. I know you've had a nice day because our food is excellent. I could give you a couple of suggestions .TRY tsoureki with chestnut only from Terkenlis = Τερκενλής. And if you visit Chalkidiki you definitely need to eat fried mussels and stuffed calamari. Take care guys.

[@christoscapriniotis2004]

I live in Thessaloniki and yes the foods are very delicious

[@Giannis_Sarafis]

Nice! I hope you enjoyed your stay in Thessaloniki a lot. Trigono means triangle and Panorama is a suburb outside the city. Thanks for sharing!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

So great to know! Thanks for watching - Anna

[@Orleanstx221]

Greek festival in Fort Worth , Tx. is where I tried their foods and desserts. I love them !

[@NavagosMyk]

its spanakotyropita…..mix spinach and feta cheese in a pie ,and very very correct its trigona panoramatos :)...love from Greece we w8 you to come back

[@giorgosdedos2537]

Hi guys!I like your video about my city food! LIKE GREEK FOOD OF THESSALONIKI THERE IS NOWHERE...

[@Vasilis_Metalhead]

The only place were locals mostly eat that you show is the bougatsa place. All the other are tourist traps unfortunately imo, which is only normal since you guys wandered around down town. Next time you come here ask one of your local subscribers to show you a bit around the city. You'll be surprised at what you've been missing. Have fun travelling!

[@carolinedoct7421]

ON 9.47 YOU ATE TRIANGLES OF PANORAMA AND FROM ONE OF THE BEST STORES LIKE TERKENLIS(ENERYTHING IS DELICIOUS IN THAT STORE! ) THIS IS SWEET TREAT , DIFFERENT FROM BOUGATSA YOU HAD TASTE IN THE MORNING (PANORAMA IS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE,GOOD AREAS YOU CAN LIVE IN THESSALONIKI (EAST OF THE CITY)

[@maryeconomidou6113]

This is so nice and so true to the great food of Thessaloniki!!

[@sage_mode_]

Glad you liked the food here guys. Next time don't forget to let us know you are coming so we can suggest you more 😊

[@vivalachoba]

Μπουγάτσα Γιάννης αξία ανεκτίμητη! Αυτή η μπουγάτσα του με τον κιμά... ααααχχχχχχ 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@frydas88]

I am Greek!! I live in US..You guys are doing great job..congrats:)

[@81giorikas]

Donner kempap, can't really say one derives from another. But they are different meat from the get go. Tomatoes in greece, well, even low quality ones ARE fresher than everything else in most countries lol. Same goes for olive oil, feta cheese, onions, spinach, dry nuts, etc. Have fun.

[@CristinaGreece]

Bougatsa is actually morning food small shops are usually full of customers in the morning hours. most of the pies are considered the breakfast of the northern part of Greece..

[@Nimerian]

Thanks for visiting. Hope you had fun!

[@TheRealTopGunZ]

I wouldn't find it hard to believe if like half the people in Thessaloniki with type 2 diabetes owe it to trigona (tree-gaw-na) Panoramatos (literally "triangles of Panorama", a suburb of Thessaloniki). It is basically sugar syrup soaked cones made of multiple layers of krusta phyllo (kroo-sta phee-law), a crunchy, thin dough, and filled with a special custard when served (not beforehand, so as that the custard won't take away the crunchiness of the dough). Excellent video, thanks for visiting our beautiful city!

[@Av96L]

From terkenlis you should’ve tried the Greek sweet bread with cheatnut cream filling and the white chocolate cream icing ❤️

[@DelightfulTravellers]

That sounds delicious - Anna

[@peterhoulis1184]

Tsatziki is easy to make at home , its delish

[@alexandraxanthopoulou6853]

The pie with the spinach is "spanakopita" and the bagel "koulouri" sometimes has cheese in it and its perfect but never butter. "Trigona panoramatos" are also a favorite of mine❤

[@nickdk1550]

Actually in some places you can find koulouri filled with Philadelphia.

[@innosanto]

@@nickdk1550 and filled with kaseri

[@nickdk1550]

@@innosanto Personally I prefer with feta cheese or Philadelphia

[@aftokratoraris]

well,i was born and lived here for my hole 35 year life.You guys are so enjoyable to watch.I love the way you look each other when the other one is speaking.shows much love and respect.Thessaloniki was actyally one of the 3 biggest cities in Europe (for many years beeing number 1,alongside Rome and Constantinoupole) from 0 to 1200ad.Next visit should be in Chalkidiki.The best place in Greece for summer.Amazing beaches,beach bars,crystal clear blue waters etc.A paradise 1 hour away from Thessaloniki.Keep upe the good work guys and have fun!

[@xTOMMYGRx]

I hope if you are still here, you should go to a flea market where younwill find fresh fruits, vegetables and many more from local producers, mostly from Makedonia region. There you will see what a fresh tomato looks and tastes like. Usually the street food shops buy plant produced vegetables, so imagine that.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We're not there at the moment as we are off to explore the islands. But thanks for the tips. We know we'll be back - Anna
