The last dessert you ate is called Halva. There are a few different types of Halva. But this one is made from toasted semolina and a honey syrup. Usually we put almonds and cinnamon on it too. I make this at home it is pretty simple. I love to add some orange zest.
You visit Greece where we work only for the tourists for low wages because our governments don't care about providing decent permanent jobs , soo if a meal at 12,8$ seems expensive and the water is the cheapest in EU , well visit another country.
Is there a tipping culture in Greece? In the US, all my friends who worked in restaurants would of course recommend the most expensive stuff because of the potential tip. However, if there’s no tipping culture, then it could just be what he actually recommends?
The dessert in the end is halva, and it's amazing! it's such a multicultural food and it's apparent in many cuisines: Greek, Turkish, Pakistani and many more! This particular one is made from semolina, there are many many more kinds of halva (for example the one that's made from sesame) and I hope you'll get to try them all! I'm from Turkey and we call it ''Helva'' and I love it 😊
Omg I swear this is a comment I’ve been looking for where people aren’t arguing over whose it is and instead says how the different places have different but also the same dishes I’m their cuisine 😭
If she was eating with another person, three plates to share and one main each is considered a very normal amount to order in Greece 😅 we always overestimate how much to order
@@gossip1998 I always assume she has multiple people eating with her. There’s no way she eats all the food in these videos by herself. I could be wrong though 😂
I lived in Berlin for a few years ( I believe it’s known as the 3rd largest Turkish city). I fell in love with Turkish food. I did make it to Turkey., loved it!
I went on a trip to Greece with my school and we all received a plate of halva for dessert. Everyone hated it but because I was the only Greek in class and of course loved halva, everyone slid their plates my way to finish it off and I was in heaven 😂
I am indian and it took me embarassing about of time to understand what halva meant because I was reading it assuming it was some foreign dish and calling it as halva instead of hulwa,you know,the similar sound of a and u,sometimes a sounds u like in umbrella word.
I'm from Turkey and am just amazed at how similar certain parts of our cultures can be. The city streets, the food and the architecture all remind me of certain villages on the Aegean coast.
Well yeah, because Greeks lived on the Aegean coats for over 3,500 Years…duh 😂 You know Yali homes? From the Greek word Yialos? 😃 But food is not the same. Greek Cuisine ranked #2 & turkish is 18th 🤷🏻♂️ Reason: 🦃 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! 👍🏻
Idk how you do it but the way you describe the food in these videos makes me hungry and actually want to eat, even though I don't really have a good relationship with food rn. Thank you
Ughhh this had my mouth watering the entire time, I used to work at a Greek restaurant and I loved sneaking dolmas sometimes or just grabbing some pita bread, warm it up in the oven for a minute or two, then dipping it in some home made tzatziki sauce 🤤🤤🤤 so simple yet such a perfect little pick me up snack
That cheese frita thing you had may have been halloumi. It’s a very popular cheese in Greece and it doesn’t melt and squeaks when you bite into it coz of it’s rubbery texture.
@@bartk1565 🔵 By underrated, I meant UNDER-appreciated. Mediterranean food is a very good, desirable cuisine, and it does NOT get the credit and recognition it deserves because a lot of people prefer UNhealthy food. Mediterranean food is healthier than most popular cuisines and is also very tasty.
Honestly, though, greek food is some of the most healthy, doesn't mean it's all really good for you or that you can't overdo it. But do that with American cuisine and gain 5 pounds a day lol
also the stuffed grape leaves are dolma my grandmother always makes them taste amazing with meat and tomato in the rice filling again i’m surprised on how similar their cuisine is too ours.
The way you eats & do the little dance when the food is good really makes me happy & you give honest review as well....I also love how you munch or took a bite on food you ate...so satisfying ❤
Dolma, then in the Byzantine Empire, us Levantines made our own version. It is Greek in origin but Levantines make it better. As long as we don't give Turkey credit we are respecting history lol
@@nefes4994 eww colonizer How do you think you even have the right to speak on greek food when you stole everything from greek people and other former colonies?! You should be ashamed You re even staying on stolen land
The “Stuffed grape leaves” are actually Tolma (or Dolma) and it’s an Armenia dish, so as an Armenian I’m really glad you liked them. We also make other versions with the same filling put in eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and also wrapped in cabbage!
@@mrasdas5498"Dolma" It means to fill or to be filled, and these meanings can only be explained in Turkish. So, can this name be more vir than the name of a dish in Armenian and Greek? LMAO😂
You have to eat only the goods you dislike for a full day cause honestly I've never seen you give food a bad rating so i wanna see what foods you dislike😊😊❤️
@@VivianTheCat Lol why are you gatekeeping food? Turkey and Greece are neighbours and most probably their food culture influenced each other. People like you make me cringe so bad, it really isnt hard to get educated on these topics, we live in 2023. Come on...

Unfortunately my mortal vessel is what it is and I become unwell even when just trying to eat instant noodles. I hope you stay safe and healthy and post lots more, I'm living vicariously through you
I want your life. Traveling and showing people all the amazing food you get to eat. That’s pretty sweet job right there. Also love how your eyes light up and you do a little food happy dance when it’s something you like. Lol I do the same.
You should try pastichio! It’s a cheesy and meaty dish in Greek culture with these super thick and yummy noodles! Also, try to find some baklava or koulourakia at the very least!
That last dessert we also make it in India 🥹💗 it’s called halwa/ sheera! Made with semolina , that’s roasted, mixed with sugar and cooked in water! You can add dry fruits to your hearts liking! You can also make it in milk! With different flavours by adding flavour essence or fruit purée!
The first ones,coming from a greek person are ντολμαδάκια they are wrapped with the leaf of the grape plant and rice inside.I dont really like it but it looks good we eat this on : Καθαρά Δευτέρα So Καθαρά Δευτέρα is a day in Easter i think where we dont eat/drink: meat,milk,cheese and etc
The stuffed grape leaves are literally my favorite food of all time I'm going to go to a different country with my mom to go see my grandma and she's going to make us stuffed grape leaves❤
I swear you are the least pickiest eater ever!! Love that you are always willing to try new things.

Also waiter: Your bill is $999....
Food in Greece is not overly priced mostly everything is worth the money
😅
My guess would be between 35-50 euro, depending which island. Or much more in Santorini 🤣
