There are only 26 or so McDonalds in all of Greece. For reference. any nation has hundreds or in the thousands of McDonalds. All these fastfood chains can't earth in Greece. Greece's streetfood annihilates all international foodchains. Secondly. Bougatsa may be from Istanbul, but Istanbul (which is a Greek name of origin meaning Istin Poli = go into the town), was till 1453AD for thousands of years Greek since it's inception. In Medieval times it was called Constantinople till 100 years ago, and in ancient times it was called Byzantion, which in medieval times the Greek Byzantine Empire was named after. But even till 1910s there were 45%-50% of Greeks still in all the cities in Anatolia (what is now called Turkey. So the point is. The Greeks who had by then already thousands of years of Greek cuisine, spanning over the entire Greek world, simply a part of the Greek world (Greece + Anatolia + South Italy) from places like in Anatolia came to Greece and brought their local dishes with them. This has to be explained, because of the info you state. Next you are going to state Santa Clause came from Turkey too. But Santa Clause, which is the Holy Saint Nicholas, which is the Greek bisshop from Myra in 300 AD. Which was 1000 years before Turks set foot in these lands. And besides. Ever seen A turkish Bisshop when they're muslim? So hence, when you make such simple statements, it's for anyone who doesn't know easily referred to as AH, so Santa Clause was a Turk. Or Ah, Bougatsa was Turkish, because half of the audience knows nothing about history. Context is very important. The lack of context is exactly why a country in the north of Greece was able to steal the name of Macedonia, a region that only exists in Greece since 3000 years till this day, which started with the Argead Dynasty from Argos (Peloponnese) that established the Kingdom of Macedonia. But since people's knowledge today doesn't go further than country names, Greece's real and only historical region of Macedonia is now having to fight against a nation that has Macedonia in the name, easily confusing the many unknowing people in the world, thinking Macedonia is now in the land that isn't Macedonia, but names itself as one. So again. Historical context is very important when you say something to the audience. Facts matter. Ps. Greece is a cheese heaven too. Greece has 300 cheeses, many highly rated for it;'s incredible flavors. And yes. Myzithra is a wonderful cheese too. Among many others in Greece PSS. What other islands in Greece have you been? And have you been everywhere on the mainland? PSSS. Yes Olive oil's that have a "kick" to it are the highest quality. They contain the highest polyphenols. Which are the anti-oxidants that help against many diseases and keeps you healthy. So those polyphenols can make you cough and can give a "peppery" experience. But they are the very very best. They usually are also the ones with by far the lowest acidity. Extra virgin olive oils start from 0.8% acidity downwards. The Koroneiki olive oils(early harvest) from Greece are 0.2%(exceptionally low). Generally they have the highest polyphenols. And the most peppery also. But the healthiest. And the best.
