I am Greek and i want to inform you that cooking (Φασολάδα) Fasolada with tomatoes is subjective .My family traditionally from my Mums side eat it without tomatoes. Half of the people I know do the same there are many recepies for Fasolada and every family have their own way. Actually there is" formal"recepies for every plate but aren't standard. I have seen people cook with tones of tomato sauce and people who don't like tomatoes and cook all legumes without it.
Well, How could it be Arabic or Persian or Turkish. First, tomatoes were not available in Europe until very late and when they became available people did not eat them because they thought they were poisonous. Potatoes were not available until very recently ... because they came from Latin America. Eggplants were not available until very recently ... because they came from India. Minced meat was not available until very recently ... because the method of mincing came from Persia (Iran). And the besamel cream / sauce also came from Europe very late as well. Therefore, when all the above ingredients and methods came together we created Mousaka, The name is not Greek, it is Arabic and I have no knowledge how this name was selected.
What I want for someone to tell me is what was Turkish original food before they conquered the Greeks and the Persians. What did they eat in their antiquity, in the lands they were originally from? What were their natural resources? How did they prepare it? And based on that then one should stop calling it Turkish cuisine finally. Whose the brave modern historian that's going to answer that, truthfully?
I have always wondered that. Where did they get olive oil in the Turkic steppes? Where did this idea come from that Greek food is just "Turkish" food? What is the validity of it?
The part of the documentary where they speak of discriminating against people that were not considered greek enough, they don’t even mention Turkish minorities in Greece as if they don’t exist. The hypocrisy of it all
@@ms.waterkoker6744 relax man so you are not talking about an existing minority but for an existed minority. Can you be more specific? about which minorities are you talking about?
@@ms.waterkoker6744 and I am just asking where is this minority? Where about in Greece, can you be specific? There are some Turks living in Kos and Rodos islands that no one killed them or forced to leave their houses or no one tried to disturb their financial independence. But the only thing I am asking from you is to be more specific

Love this!
Now I understand that french food is also Greek and the bond between France and Greeks
Moussaka is based on an Arabic dish. Reinvented by a Greek in 1920 adding besamel

Tselemebtes was a barbarian
Tselemendes is from Sifnos island. It's one of the best islands for lovers of gastronomy today ( aka "foodies"). Unforgettable experience.

@@grcriots they were genocided by your racist grandfathers and now you’re deniying they were ever there

@@grcriots there is still a Turkish minority present in Greece. Just because you guys don’t acknowledge them doesn’t mean they are not there.
