So many Turks need to hear this: Nomenclature is not as important as it seems. There is actually quite a lot of evidence that yogurt and desserts not too dissimilar to baklava or loukoumades were eaten in Greece for millennia prior to the rise of Turkic states in the region, despite their names. 'Oxygala' is what the Greeks called yogurt before adopting the Turkish term for example. It is very possible that given the fact that Turkish (with Farsi/Persian) was the language of the Ottoman court, that the language occupied a position of prestige in the empire. Therefore, it could be that minorities within the empire either gave dishes that they invented Turkish names, or altered the names of pre-existing dishes to suit the linguistic environment. This would not be unprecedented. In Greek, the word for 'door' is 'porta'. The original Greek word for door was 'thyrras'. Porta is a Latin word and was adopted by the Greeks from the Romans. Did the Greeks not have doors before meeting the Romans? In Greek the word for 'house' is 'spiti'. The original Greek word for house was 'oikos'. Spiti derives from the Latin 'hospitium'. Did the Greeks not have houses before meeting the Romans? For contemporary examples, consider the coffees invented in Greece in the 20th century-- frappe and freddo espresso and freddo cappuccino. As stated, all three were invented by Greeks but given French and Italian names. This is likely due to the fact that in modern times Italy and France occupy positions of prestige within the hospitality/culinary/barista industry. In summation, just because some dishes have Turkish names does not in any way mean that they have indisputably Turkish origins.
The Turkish cousine was refined when was intregrated with the byzantine cousine after the seize of Constantinopole and became the cousine it is today !!
Döner created in 19th century, Bursa city by a Turkish man. That family line still runs their business. Yoghurt dates back to Göktürk Empire, including ayran drink. It was created when trying to prevent forthcoming sourness of yoghurt. Tutmaç soup(please don't try to take credit for this soup too when learning something new about Turkish cuisine, you prone to copy, take credit and make up some lies about that) is yoghurt based Turkish soup and dates back to Seljuk Empire. Baklava is ethimologically a Turkish word and comes from bayla- verb root. Phyllo pastries was a tradition for Turks since Central Asia times. You try to copy and takes dishes that are originally ours. Until 1970s, you called Turkish coffee as Turkish coffee, not Greek coffee. Word Gyros created later on by you. Even some honest Greeks admit that. Imam bayıldı? Is there a muslim Greek priest? They are created by Turks at that era. Turkish people found new plants, herbs and created new dishes. Oldest ones mostly based on red meat, phyllo, etc. When they found new legumes, herbs, they incorporated to Turkish cuisine and developed further.
I definitely disagree, of course, it is wrong to say that these dishes are definitely Greek dishes, in light of this information, for example, the word yogurt originates from old Turkish and was made from ant eggs a thousand years ago.
This was a good list. It did include most of my favorites. It's a good thing pictures were included because the pronunciation was so mangled I might not have known what you were talking about.
If no 30 is Gemista then I am afraid to see which is No1. I am guessing it's either gyros or souvlaki. I am surprised to see higher in 26 Skordalia ( personally love it but the majority of Greeks hate it especially ladies hate it). By the way best Skordalia is made in the island of Kephallonia cause it's worked so much to the point it resembleso medium hot caramel in texture , which is quite thick in texture and doesn't fell of the spoon which is eaten. I am also afraid that a really suberb dish from my mother's birth place the island of Kephallonia won't even be in the list. That's the meat pie with marjoran spice (in small quality) that has an insane aroma. It contains goat's meat very well cleaned from bones nerves excessive fats and finally tendons along with rice which is half boiled and contains also dill. It's what many other countries describe as Sheperds pie but the spice of marjoran with its intence smell makes the difference in taste.
When the Turks came to Asia minor what kind of cousine they had ?? The one of the nomads and then they intergrated their cousine with the Byzantine one becoming todays Turkish cousine !! This fusion cousine got around the Ottoman empire so we have similar dishes So in reality nobody stole anything its a fusion process !!!!
@@electra1920 really? What does mean dolma, yoghurt or baklava in greek? Do these words have any meaning? Go research its etymological origins, it will cure your ignorance!
Most of the Greek dish belongs to Tuks. Lıke Baklava, Turkısh Coffe, Yogurt, Lokum, Cacık, Döner Kebap, etc etc. Ahh also they have just one think but they already lost ıt 1453. ^^
turkish original cuisine was camel & horse meat eaten raw cured under their saddles & eaten in primitive yurt tents 🛖🦃👌🏻 🦃 has no Seafood Culture, no Pasta Culture, no Coffee Culture. No Pork like Ham, Pepperoni, Bacon, Panseta, Gyro, Souvlaki, Cold Cuts, Pork Chops, Loins, Ribs. Nor Gamey Meats (Rabbit etc) & technically aren’t even allowed to eat Shellfish! 👍🏻 lokum is an arab word Cacik is a Farsi word Coffee is a Yemeni Arab word Kebab is an arab word Greeks eat Gyro with PORK which turks like all arabs cannot eat. With PITA [Greek Word], with a THICK & Creamy Tzatziki sauce (not the watery garbage t0rks eat). Also we add Fries. Every single dish is Greek & if not Greek it is either Arab or Armenian. Nothing t0rkish. All Seafood dishes in Anatolia still uses GREEK WORDS, it’s all Greek. the blue mosque is a Copy Paste of the Greek Agia Sofia made 1,000+ years later by a janissary convert. Nothing turkish in Anatolia. Yali homes comes from the Greek word: Gialos. These Sea Side Homes are Classic Greek Architecture as well. The turks are a Fake Nation 👌🏻
No, they are Greek specialties, maybe with the Ottoman Empire the Turks appropriated the recipes.... As they did with falafel and coffee they come from Jordan, the sweets come from Lebanon etc. The Turks have appropriated everything and call it Turkish... I am not fall into propaganda easily... Dolma from ..Romania... Etc etc etc
@@electra1920 ahhahah what are you talking about? Even the word Dolma is Turkish 😂😂😂 what is level of your ignorence? We dont claim falafel is Turkish. Wtf?!
@@electra1920 Accept some facts, the so-called "Greek" cuisine consists of 90% Turkish and Arabic foods. Before the 1920s, there were no foods called gyros (Turkish doner) and moussaka in Greece. They were introduced to these dishes thanks to the Greeks who immigrated from Türkiye. Go educate yourself!
Omg Greek cuisine....the best in the world hands down 🇬🇷😋💙
I love classic Greek cuisine!!! from the best 😊
Thank you for supporting us, it means a lot!

Italian , Greek , Turkish and Lebanese. Best cuisines in the world to me.
I was a little worried about not finding anything that I would like in Greece . Seeing this I am no longer worried about. Thank you

You're right about the skordalia. I'm Greek and I hate it. My mom liked it and I couldn't even stand to be in the kitchen when she made it. 🥴
