    Let us say that Greeks have more manners and respect than to bore us bragging about how great Greek cooking is. My first husband was Italian, as I am. He and his mother BORED THE HELL OUT OF THE FAMILY WITH THEIR EVER LASTING BRAGGING ABOUT HOW GREAT ITALIAN FOOD IS. Well becausecof my food allergies, I was allergic to flour and my throat would close up with a laryngospasm. No air was getting in or out. I needed an epi pen! My cousins are Greek. It is delicious. Both Italians and Greek have certain similarities especially southern (Sicilian ( and greek--lamb, garlic, lemon, eggplant, etc. The healthiest option for me is my second husband's cuisine. He comes from Sweden and the ingredients are basic and healthy. I have lost weight because we eat so much fish. One thing I appreciate is that Swedes are quiet, respectful and have enough BRAINS NOT TO PUSH THEIR COOKING DOWN YOUR THROAT. THEY ARE A LOT QUIETER THAN ITALIANS. EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO EAT WHAT TGRY LIKE WITHOUT ARGUMENTATIVE PEOPLE TURNING THE DINING ROOM TABLE INTO A BATTLE ZONE EXPECTING EVERYBODY TO WORSHIP THE CHEF'S CULINARY SKILLS, --OR LACK OF THEM. That is my Italian mother. SHE IS SO NARCISSTIC SHE DEMANDS PRAISE FOR cooking nobody wants cause they prefer American food

    Great reply! Both cuisines are awesome. What many people don't realise is how diverse Greek cuisine is though, on a very different level than Italian, because it combines mediterranean, western/French, middle-eastern/anatolian and balkan elements. And somehow all is fused into one.

    I love Italian food, from pasta to tiramisu. I've tried some Greek foods too, but still a few (will try to eat more if this damn pandemic ends).
    Both cuisines have unique characteristics and are both equally healthy. So it's pointless to compare Greek and Italian foods.

    I made a Greek soup and she felt immediate relief and loved the taste. She said "I'm full, but I don't feel any discomfort and, it's very gentle on my stomach.." And I filled a Tupperware and gave it to ger to take Home.

    It’s like when you learn a song on an instrument. You have to learn the song as intended by the composer using the techniques and timing as written before for you can play with it. Otherwise you are either disrespecting the song or creating a whole new one.
    You have to learn the original recipe and technique of a dish as intended before you tweak it.

    As a Greek, who cooks eight international cuisines, I can safely say that Greek cuisine is the best in terms of quality, health and taste. We are blessed to have the mainland and island regions, thd unique soil, best climate, sun and sea, to produce the best quality of products.
    Greek cuisine is very ancient and diverse, it goes back thousands of years and every region has its own dishes..from vegetables, to meat, poultry, fish, seafood, fruits, dry nuts, essences, and the Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨✨✨ olive oil 🫒

    As a Greek I love both. And it is very hard to say one is better than the other. From Spain to Greece the cuisine comes with the culture and climate. But even if Greeks invented pizza, as some say, Italian perfected it. Italian pasta especially from various regions of Italy is amazing. The style and presentation is beautiful. IDK I think it is silly to say one is better than another other. There are so many flavours in the world.

    I agree with changing the name to match the change -- "mushroom carbonara" or something. For me, I make "carbonara", but use grated parm instead of pecorino, because I simply can't buy pecorino or have it delivered. I still call it carbonara, but recognize that it's not perfect.
