    Hi Akis! I'm living in a wheelchair in a nursing home in Canada, but just found out I'm soon to move to my own place with an accessible kitchen! I want to make your moussaka! But this might be an easier recipe to start...🙏

Of course i will be making these again ... and again... and again! 🙏😋

    My grandmother made meatballs like that except she would put them in a soup. It's my favorite nostalgic comfort food and the mint gives it an A mazing flavor. She added carrots, potatoes and chayote, a squash that looks like a green pear. Yum! I need to try keftedes.

    Would it be wrong to serve Tsaziki with this dish, to dip the meat balls into ?

    • @UhDUUUHlol

    I think the mint goes much better with ground pork than with ground beef actually. If I make keftedes with ground beef I’ll use dill and parsley and if I use pork I’ll use mint. It’s prob just personal preference though. BUT fries are just not as good in the US. I really think they can not be replicated here!! 🤷🏻‍♀️💙🇬🇷

    • @hppycmpr1972

    I don't understand wearing gloves for hygiene if you touch everything in the kitchen first with the gloves then into the meat. Surely it is better without gloves and then just wash your hands before you shove it in the meat?

      What a very strange and insignificant observation to complain about. 🙄 To each their own. Some people don't like putting their hands in raw meat to assemble meatballs because of the texture and sensation.
