      Das erste Restaurant war nicht so gut ,ihr hättet in ein nettes anderes Restaurant gehen sollen.

    I lived there for 4.5 yrs as a teenager and haven’t been back since. I cook all those meals you have tried and my fave is the stuffed cabbage rolls.
    I will say that the food in greece is fresh. All meats, poultry, fruit and vegetables we cannot but that quality here in australia. The food just tastes differently.
    The beach experience is also the best. Crystal blue waters, and no sharks 😉.
    I hope you really enjoyed your holidays in greece.

      Yeah I think Greece is my favourite European destination. The food has so much variety in flavours, some of the best scenic sights I've ever seen and the people are crazy friendly and kind.

      The ingredients taste better in Greece cause of the good quality of the soil and nice mediteranean climate and plenty of sunny days

    Greece is super high on my bucket list. I was supposed to go before COVID for my 40th but ended up buying an electric bike instead. 😢 Looking forward to the next video! ❤

    The sauce that you enjoyed with the cabbage rolls is called avyolemono. It's a mix of lemon juice and eggs beaten together until cramy and then slowly poured into the finished pot of cabage rolls.

    • @LocalEaters
      @LocalEaters  День тому +2

      That was probably one of my favourite dishes in Athens! So good👌

  • @marykoufalis7666
    @marykoufalis7666 День тому +5

    11:50.
    That is one of our most popular Greek desserts called galaktoboureko.
    However, I do feel they served it to you guys a little too warm. It should have been left to firm up just slightly so that it could be cut into a little easier, it's not typically served that warm. At best it should be at room temperature.

    • @LocalEaters
      @LocalEaters  День тому +1

      It was my favourite dessert of all time. Couldn't believe what I was biting into 👌

      Haha Greek food is my favourite European cuisine. So many interesting flavours and combinations!

  • @marykoufalis7666
    @marykoufalis7666 День тому +3

    The reason you found the tzatziki so refreshing is because one of the main ingredients is grated cucumber along with the greek yogurt, garlic and a splash of vinegar.

    • @LocalEaters
      @LocalEaters  День тому +5

      Tzatziki has to be one of the greatest toppings of all time.

    • @faelreklaw8837

    • @marykoufalis7666
      @marykoufalis7666 3 години тому

      @faelreklaw8837 Yes adding is very regional. It didn't seem that they encounter that, as I did not see any dark flecks in the tzatziki.

    What surprised me during the whole video is that you picked good dishes to eat, you have traveled in Greece before?

    • @LocalEaters
      @LocalEaters  22 години тому +1

      Yes this is my second time in Greece, what I didn't try last time was the desserts and the cabbage rolls. Any other dishes I should have tried?

    • @dimifisher
      @dimifisher 22 години тому

      ​​@@LocalEatersMost of those are top, but you really have to try Spanakopita and fish soup, I know in Scandinavian countries they eat fish soup also but I have no clue with what kind of fish and how they make it, in Greece for me is the best dish ever and good Spanakopita with feta cheese and onions is just heaven, also the best meat in Greece is called "Psaronephri"

    • @LocalEaters
      @LocalEaters  22 години тому +1

      Oh yeah I've had spanakopita at home in Melbourne but never the first soup, that sounds delicious.
      I did try fish soup when I was in Sweden and that was very hearty, good flavours.

    • @dimifisher
      @dimifisher 22 години тому

      @LocalEaters In Greece is has to be with boiled kokkinopsaro ("red fish") you have to go in good Psarotaverna (fish restaurant) to try it, and don't forget Astakomakaronada (Lobster with pasta) there, also in Thessaloniki Bougatsa with cheese, you can find it in Athens also, but the original recipe is from Thessaloniki with melted mizithra.

  • @marykoufalis7666
    @marykoufalis7666 День тому +6

    It's not cheese on top of the moussaka. It's a bechamel sauce which is made from butter, flour and milk.

    • @LocalEaters

    It is not cucumber what you tasted in the mousaka 😅 . It is zucchini. It is not often, but some cooks put also that together with the eggplant.

    • @LocalEaters
