Blessed to have a Greek restaurant near our apartment with the best gyros and souvlakis in the city. Blessed to have in-laws who live in Athens and send us goodies often. Blessed to learn about souvlaki from you.
As a lover of grilled, skewered meat (pork or otherwise - but not mice!), I shall be sharing this with my meat-skewer-loving friends....It's important academic research.....MMmm, where's my home-made tzatziki... Tony
1.00€ IN 1850. 1.50€ IN 1950. 2.00€ IN 2000. 3.00€ IN 2020. 4.00€ IN 2024. MY GRANDKIDS WILL NEED TO SEEL MY HOUSE TO GET A ROUND OF SOUVLAKI BROTHERS!!!
Thanks for this great blog. I wonder if you prefer souvlaki in a pitta like me, rather than in a rolled up flat bread. Also -is souvlaki only pork or can it be lamb as well? I remember reading in Homer's Odyssey (Book 12) that the Greeks made souvlaki with skewers on the beach with meat from the forbidden cattle of Helios.
In Cyprus (but I assume in Greece too) 90% of the time we eat souvlakia inside a Cypriot pitta or “rolled” into a greek pitta (check my brekky pitta video to see the difference). The rest of the times you might eat them as part of meze or as a “portion” which comes with pitta, salad and fries (basically deconstructed). Lamb souvlaki is quite rare in Cy (I haven’t travelled extensively in Greece but wherever I went pork was the _de facto_ meat for souvlakia). But I did try them a couple of times. They are delicious but slightly gamey for my taste. They feel too heavy to be eaten weekly in my opinion. I hear in Patra,Greece they even eat beef souvlaki but I have not tried it. Sounds delightful though 🤤 I encountered a reference in the odyssey too but I forgot to write down the reference 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting!
I feel like a common issue with many of these "x food originated in y country" debates, is that a lot of the time we are dealing with something very basic. Not to downplay souvlaki, it is undeniably delicious, but it is a very basic thing: Meat grilled on a skewer. This probably emerged in uncountable cultures and probably didn't have a single point of origins.
Oh 100%. Skewered meat cooked on fire has been eaten pretty much as early as humans existed. I think there is a bit of debate whether there are multiple sites of simultaneous/parallel invention. However, I find preposterous the narrative that souvlakia/kebab were brought to the Greek-speaking world by conquerors. That’s why I made 2 videos about it. Rant over. Thanks for watching and commenting 😀
Hey! Thanks for watching! If you want to watch a solid souvlaki recipe I did a reaction video to Binging with Babish’s souvlaki. But in the future I will develop a recipe for making souvlaki without a bbq or charcoal grill.
