    G'day! Welcome back to Food Mood on UA-cam! In this series, I'm exploring the incredible food scene in Athens. This is the fourth video in my informative guide to some of the best Greek street food, restaurants and desserts in the ancient city of Athens. If this video has been helpful for you, please subscribe hehe
    In this video, I'm exploring the food culture of Athens AND the island of Crete. I'm introducing you to home-style Greek cooking, coffee cooked in hot sand, a classic Greek bakery eats and mind-blowing Cretan cuisine (how have I never come across this before!!). I also make stops at Acropolis & Acropolis Museum - great viewing for the history buffs.

    Video Notes
    At the time of filming, COVID-19 regulations in Athens stipulated that the wearing of masks was mandatory indoors and outdoors. My mask was removed only to eat and speak to the camera so that's why you'll see it under my chin 😷
    I've upgraded from the iPhone (yay!) for my UA-cam videos and am now using a Sony ZV E10 which I'm currently learning how to use. I apologise for the focus and stabilisation issues during this video. Thank you for your patience 🎥
    I don't know how to correctly pronounce Acropolis. If someone can explain in the comments that would be top shelf! 🏛

    I am so happy that you finally figured out how to eat snails (mpoumpouristous as we call this type of cooking in Crete). first of all you have to pick them up by hand. Secondly you have to soak the juices from the shell and finally after you eat it the best part is the bread in the remaining sauce. You are a natural born Cretan. Also I am sorry but I lol when I saw you trying with the toothpick and the fork.

    There is no cucumber in that soup but zuccini !!! Also the coffee that was boiling in the sand was greek coffee and not espresso !!

      Ah brilliant, I wasn’t convinced it was cucumber. Zucchini is a much better option! I believe the shop called it Espresso and agreed it is Greek coffee ☕️

    The rest of the food was fine, but until the cholious boubouristous were brought out, they are allowed to call themselves Kriti. When I was a kid(before you were born) I was surprised when no-one (the rest of Greece) had heard of that dish. Nice video.

    • @JasonVaughan

      Interesting. When I google cholious boubouristous nothing comes up. I recently went to Crete and ate at a restaurant that also had similar snails (but tasted nowhere near as good). Genuinely curious to know where does this dish come from if not from Crete? Thanks for watching 💛

      @@JasonVaughan try " Holious boubouristous " . Greeklish spellings do vary. They are a classic Cretan dish. Don't know about which restaurant makes them best. I've only had my aunt's, but I do know there is a season. They may get picked at certain times and be stored, but I don't remember the specifics of that.
