Hey Jason. I love your videos and have seen a few of them. I enjoy your own couple of experiences here and there while traveling in Greece. However. I have one thing to point out. If you write a description write it as it is. Greek mezze. Not Turkish mezze, not Chinese or alien or Hippo mezze. Greece has been doing mezze and has a culinary history that reflects it's civilization of 5500 years till this day at a time when when Turks didn't even had a cuisine when they had nomadic life in Mongolia 6000 km away not even 1000 years ago. If you don't understand or not aware of history, then you can always take a look. But if you want to have it in short: Anatolia has been thousands of years Greek. The Greek Byzantine empire which is the longest lasting Medieval empire in the world lasted from 300-1453 AD, 1150 years which is the foundation of both Turkish and Greek cuisines today. Turks, who's forefathers where Turkic, originate from Mongolia which did not have any of the cuisine that the Turks today, as Turkic people had a extremely primitive nomadic cuisine which was 95% based on cattle as almost nothing grows in Mongolia, and people had to move around with their cattle in order to survive. And For example. Karamanlidika hosts cured meats which is Greek byzantine and Ancient Greek element for a long long time, way before the Turks ever came to the Mediterranean. Even if you go to the website of this place you see it also says it's having it's own roots to Byzantine tradition. And when The Turks managed to conquer Constantinople in 1453 AD, rule became Turkish by a 100.000 man nomadic Ottoman forece. But the cuisine and millions of people of Anatolia where Greek. And over time Greek people were Turkified by changing their religion and language into becoming Turkish. But both Greek and Turkish are rooted in Greek Byzantine civilization and cuisine. Don't forget that. And also what you should't forget is that since then Greeks and Turks have lived side by side with from there on a cuisine that is shared and still in 1910s in many of the cities 30-60% of the people demographics where Greek, especially in the Western area of Anatolia. So when in 1910s genocides happened, people died, but the rest of the Greeks of Anatolia each with their own regional cuisine fled to Greece where also every region in Greece also is local cuisines. Greek people from West Anatolia, Greek people from Trabzon, Greek people from Cappadokia that each took their own Greek cuisine when they fled to Greece which has been for some centuries shared with Turks. Greeks and Turks who have Greek byzantine cuisine at their roots and for Greece simply a chapter of it's culinary history of a much much deeper history, are ultimately shared by the time of 1453AD till 1910s. But it doesn't make Greek mezze Turkish meze. But it's the Greek byzantine cuisine that has immensely influenced Turkish cuisine once the Nomadic Turks entered Anatolia. If anything as you want to call it, Greek mezze is atleast a shared Mezze with the Turks, but it's not Turkish mezze by definition. Even things like Baklava is a evolution over time and there are multiple desserts that are almost identical to the current version but under different names in Greek Byzantine times and even in Ancient Greece 2000 years earlier. So. If you want to be accurate in things, you have to be more educated in culinary history, and also history in general if you write things in your description. It does the Greek cuisine a lot of injustice simply because of whoever screams harder in media. If you want more to know about this on youtube there is a series of 5 episodes each 1 hour called Journey of Greek Food starting with: " Journey of Greek Food - Episode 1, ENGLISH - Science" The constantinople (the place today called Istanbul since 100 years) Cuisine for Greeks are called politiki kouzina, and is simply one of many many other Greek cuisines. Like Cretan, Pontiaki cuisine, Naxian, Corfiot, Athos cuisine, Ionian cuisine, Mani cuisine, Macedonian cuisine, Cycladic cuisine, Epirotiki cuisine, Kypriaki cuisine, Thrakiotiki cuisine, Mikrasiatiki cuisine, Cuisine of Argolis, Cuisine of Patras, Arcadian cuisine, Cuisine of Aegean islands, Rhoditiki cuisine, Lesbos cuisine. And like that you see Greek cuisine is not just Greek cuisine. It's a collection of many local Greek cuisines that in total make up of Greek cuisine reflected over many thousands of years, each region and peoples with their own environmental and cultural variables.
Ooft, I appreciate the time it took to write that. Thanks for explaining - I tried to find how the restaurant described it but it wasn’t clear to me. I research every restaurant and do my best to get an understanding but it can be difficult to know every detail about each restaurant when you eat at 20 different spots on a trip. The reason I assumed Turkish was because some dishes signalled they were from Cappadocia etc which is in Turkey. So hope that gives some reasoning. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@JasonVaughan I am Greek and fuck this guy, name shit the way you want, did it look turkish? say it is like turkish then. Not everyone has to write shit detailed as fuck and know the origin of everything. He could have given about the same knowledge in a vastly better manner. A lot of food in the region kept the turkish names because we were conquered 400 years by the Turks, but the turks spread cuisine but they also lend a lot of cuisine from like Persia, ERE (Byzantium), North Africa, Spain etc. But because we kept the turkish names, it sounds like everything is their invention, this is what he was trying to say in a kinder way, but feel free to speak the way you want.
My sweet fav greek breakfast
