I think Turkish people should stop claiming this dish is stolen from them and chill out in the comments 'cause they humiliate themselves. Greece was under the Ottoman empire for 400 YEARS, each cuisine was influenced by the other! Greece and Turkey SHARE a lot of recipes and that's not between just those two countries, but also all the countries that were under the Ottoman empire. Did all of them steal your recipes too? I don't think so, that's the result of cohabitation.

[@gatterino8303]

Ευαγγελια Μαρ well considering the deserts name "lokma" which means "a bite" in turkish and seeing its name same in greek i think we have a point here :P

[@aduarsgirls]

Ευαγγελια Μαρ its stolen .... even mosaka is stolen as well hhhh

[@a.k9802]

Agreed from a Turk! peace.

[@greekunicorn542]

Please stop acting like that and taking the part of your country because that seems like it's your advantage. Also the recipe of moussaka is not actually known where it came from, many claim it is of persian origin and it comes from maguma which is a similar recipe as moussaka with lamb and minced meat. Moussakas is served in different versions across all the balcan peninsula and also Egypt and Libano so Greece has it's own version of moussaka and it's a traditional food. Now will you ever stop claiming and actually believing everything belongs to your country and search before you talk? Because you fool yourselves.

[@greekunicorn542]

I agree with that! The name was taken from turkish (it has the same meaning in arabic though) but that dessert is popular in eastern countries and its origin is lost over the years!

[@icy_ramen7830]

This recipe is shared between countries. This the greek version which dates back to ancient greece. Btw im greek. But we usually eat them with honey

[@annemnlx7555]

in Greece traditionally we put honey on top not melted chocolate

[@connordec17games]

annemnlx Cool to know its origin, but don't you also agree he can have some creativity in this dish?

[@annoula1213]

ναι ισχύει αλλά γαμανε και με μερεντα

Oh yes! These are sooo tasty!😍😍

[@fauxmanchu8094]

Why in Melbourne? Melbourne has the biggest population of Greeks outside of Greece. And the food there is amazing!

[@bionickchief]

to enjoy these you need *REAL* natural honey

[@dimz796]

and cinnamon! crumbled pistachio (fistiki aiginis) or crumbled walnut to make them more "gourmet"

[@farahsamir401]

[@DHxxxxxxx]

let's all be honest, every culture has their own spin of this dish. in america they're called donut holes, in japan they're called takoyaki, in greece they're called loukoumades, and so on and so forth for the rest of the world. not one country owns this dish, but a lot have their own version. so can y'all stop acting like your country has copyright?

[@remonkewl6598]

Seriously, its stupid that anyone is trying to claim fried dough balls as their own.

[@xmochhi2437]

Lokma (meaning 'morsel, a food that amounts one bite' in Turkish): Deep-Fried Ottoman Doughnuts.

[@dimz796]

Loukoumas is the modern name of what was called Enkrides by ancient Greeks, but living for so long with Turks during the four century occupation resulted in many names being changed to what most would understand.

[@gingerbread9691]

I kinda wanna move to Greece now

[@forbiddensnacc2012]

You must try them out!!!

[@eazyyassin6802]

[@markoschatziathanasiou6754]

Turkish and Greek fighting for who ivented the dish

[@yigitegecevikkol]

​@@ckaouriwe didnt take half of your country komşu . you invaded us then we pour you guys to sea and unfortunately non of you didnt know how to swim.

[@senangmasakeasycookchannel5566]

So good

[@itsthemetho]

Ironically the best I ever had, including in Greece, is from a church in Victoria. The only downside is that they are original honey flavour only.

[@keremerdem5784]

its Turkish and it is called ''Lokma Tatlısı''I know because i live in turkey and i am turkish

[@geha9450]

You also have pizza, does it mean is also turkish?

[@fairloke]

The dessert has been mentioned in Ancient Greek historical scripture by Aristotle as "χαρίσιοι πλάκοι" or "πλακούντες". Kallimahos also called it "honey coin". It's the same exact recipe. The only reason it currently has a Turkish name internationally is because Turks were in Greek land for 400+ years and renamed a lot of recipes and claimed them as their own. The Ottomans came from Mongolian areas while "Loukoumas" is a Mediterranean food.

[@bonganiluwemba1116]

only good when fresh

[@juriahdin8261]

The country that invented yeast should get credit for this dessert . Mix yeast with anything even your own poop and next is magic . 🙈🙈😂

[@Wenzy0l]

Louqmiat or Lokma is An Arabic word means Bit or bite this dessert was first made in Iraq then ottoamn and then Greece it's in the name we can all eat it but turkish people fight over things that aren't theirs to begin with

[@Wenzy0l]

***** Are you seriously quoting an article written by someone who is probably clueless. You need to give me a history book or something to even considering to believe that. If greeks invented it then why use an Arabic orgin word?? Because it's Arabic orgin like most turkish and Greek dishes that belong to Arabs or other middle eastern semites civilizations. ..

[@Wenzy0l]

***** Two totally different things my friend Alexanderia was believed to be founded by Alexander the Great hince the name. But just use your brain why would ancient Greece use Arabic word for a dish they ate or invented?? The name didn't change because that is what Arabs called and then ottomans took it and then the Greeks otherwise it would be called by Greek word don't get me wrong ancient Greece is powerful and had influenced many things across the middle east and vice versa. I didn't ask you to read I said if you wanna proof something ancient then back it up by something written by historian at least. I agree with you when it comes to turks they like to claim everything that was orginally found in the middle east. But Loukmiat is Arabic recipe that's why it has Arabic name the name speaks for it self it you should accept it and enjoy it

[@SmthAbout.Money.SmellsLikeLove]

You are so funny😂😂

[@sofiezagoti3360]

We usually eat them with honey

[@fa600m5]

we eat this with date molasses here in the uae :)

[@oduduessien]

See Puff Puff

[@someonethatlikesstuffeksde4530]

Omg i love them

[@panosboulou7449]

Actually the most common toping is honey and cinnamon

[@watamelon1457]

Damn they look good

[@gudeiaht5091]

Why Greek dishes named Turkish? Lokum means “morsel”, dolma means “fill” in Turkish.

[@Gerqaog]

lokma comes from arabic loqma. So in your logic its arab.

[@cigaretteaftercats]

@@Gerqaog Yes but it is obvious that it's not Greek:) Old style lokma may have come from Arabs, but this second generation lokma with chocolate first existed in Istanbul in early 2000s.

[@aysenur7728]

A few days ago you called these lokma a traditional turkish dessert now you are calling this greek food because you put just nutella on instead of syrup

[@mariaefthimiou3729]

Ayse Nur that's not the reason actually..greece in the past for many many years was in the ottoman empire..so it's obvious that our cuisines have some similarities

[@madcraftsman6158]

Ayse Nur actually greek ppl cook them traditionally with honey syrop... and due to the 400 years greek slavery to ottomans the two countries had grown to share a few recipes like kebap, baklava etc

[@aysenur7728]

keepo kappa ı do know the history of İstanbul and by the way it was a mixture of turkis people and greek people

[@panoskokoris8085]

Ayse Nur and I know turkish people had something to do with the involvement of instabul

[@madcraftsman6158]

keepo kappa what?? even istanbul is a greek phrase made into word... it means to the City.. and Greeks were not slaves at the time of the Byzantine Empire... that was only after Ottomans conquered them

[@lalithakotla5905]

In it is bonda with chocolate sauce

[@lalithakotla5905]

The word Loukoumades originate from Lokma, which means ''Bite'' in Turkish which the word itself ethimologicaly is from Arabic word lukuma, it is an Ottoman dessert.
