@@ozlem27.Nope you stole it all from Persia my friend. Your land topologies are all of 🇬🇷 Origin and Name. Yous are the descendants of immigrants from south East Asia (Mongols) who took over that land from Byzantine empire. Persian cuisine has many of them Culinary delights which u stole and relabeled as Turkish!🤣🤣🤣 Ps 🇬🇷 Culture and Civilization predates that of the so called Turkish settlement. Also the first Gastronomy book was written in 🇬🇷 as is the origin of the word Gastronomy also 🇬🇷. Learn your facts!!!🤣😂😂
I really hope you enjoyed your stay here in Athens! Your video is excellent!!!Even though I am from Athens I didn't know some of the places you visited ! I will surely try them!!! Greetings from Greece!!! :D
Every single food and drink I can see in this Greek series looks beautiful🤩They look like works of art!! I'd like to see the compilation of the Mexican series. Thank you for the amazing video Luke-san😀 Stay safe!! From Japan.😁
These are all 🇹🇷Turkish foods stolen by so called "greeks" = christianized Turks +Albanians +Macedonians. They've only adding "e", "i" or "s" at the end of the word and saying "it's greek food", LOL 😅.
Thanks Luke for another Wonderful video. My mouth is drooling. Tomorrow I will go to a Greek restaurant. I'm in Ontario and in my city there are Greek restaurants. Ooh wonderful seafood!!!!!
Absolutely love Greek food. Some of the best food ever. Yummm I have a friend who gets to visit Greece about every year :) So sorry you guys broke up. I hope you both will be ok. Gyro and Souvlaki and lamb chops so my fav. Also nice Greek salad with lots of Feta Cheese mmm Nothing like Greek Yogurt the best ever with that honey and nuts just love that. Greek/Turkish coffee some of the best. Yumm. You got me hungry to day ending it with that yummy Baklava !! yummm lol Hope you have a great day stay safe ♥
NO! I didn't know you and Sabrina broke up! Sorry to hear that! You guys are a great team on camera but nobody knows what goes on off camera. Wish the best for both of you. Keep making videos. I'm a fan.
Greek food is one of my favorite types of food! I could eat Greek food everyday! I hope one day to go to Greece! My mouth was watering the whole time! I’m sorry about you and Sabrina Luke!
@@kayacenk4164 Greeks where making dough deserts , like Loukoumades, centuries before Turks apear in the field. Or are you one of those thinking that Greeks sprouted in the area 600 years ago, along with the Osmans? So try to work on your complex...
@@kayacenk4164 You don't need to repeat at every comment of this wonderfull vlog your toxic Turkish chauvinist-nationalist distortions. Excepting mutton BBQ, yoghurt and some kinds of cheese Turks brought with them from Central Asia, there's nothing "Turkish" in their cuisine. The most dishes they like so much to call "Turkish" are Byzantine (ie Greek), Armenian, Arabic, Balkanic and Jewish.
@@kayacenk4164 Arabs aren't Turks, are they... and all these "Turkish" food where known in middle East, before Turks. As yogurt which was also known in middle East since 5000 years ago, and in ancient Greece as oxygala, looong before Turks arrived in the area (about 11th century ad). Using the so called "Turkish" words (that many derive from Persian and arabics), doesn't make these Turkish. So don't insist. You make your self look so naive

@@simplesvideos19902 No le hagas caso. Los Turcos siempre intentan apoderarse de cualquier cosa que emane de Grecia. Eso es como decir que la comida Española es Arabe. Ni caso.
Greece is balkan cuisine Turkey is Anatolian and caucasus cuisine. They are not the same. You americans think of them as the same. They are not even the same anthropologically
@@carykaradasia4568 its not the same?? Just a copy of the Turkish cuisine - Loukoumades - lokma?? The baklava with the sirop, The BOREK with the spinache is an albanian meal ,... EVen the name are similar!
Everything looks delicious, the more I watch, the more I get hungry, I really want to try everything! Anyway, I like Loukoumades the most, I can eat one anytime, whether it's for breakfast or afternoon tea! The brewing method of Greek coffee looks like very similar to Turkish coffee, but it seems to be coffee with chocolate, I really want to drink it!

@@sweetheart5110 Just to clarify . Loukoumades is a typical Greek street food dessert, very popular both in and outside Greece. Its history comes from the age of the Ancient Greece: the legend tells that this recipe had been offered as a winner's reward during the first Olympic Games!
Mark, you have make a good video, the most are good spot for food, bravisimo, the creater is the atmosphere of Greece and the color, nice video at the end
That Greece series was awesome!! You ani't lying Luke when you sat that 🇬🇷 has some of the best food in the world. Next time when you visit 🇬🇷, you should visit the island of Mykonos!!
In the last episode, he was in Istanbul, Türkiye. Now, he is in Athens, Greece. Awesome! What is next, Piraeus, Nafplio, Kalamatas? Show us the best and most authentic food in Greece!
You eat the lamb chops with bare hands. It's weird to go to a restaurant and use cutlery especially for lamp chops. Nice video. Hope you had a great time here! :)

That’s interesting, the loukoumades. In the United Arab Emirates they make lgemat which look pretty much same apart from the filling. Lgemat are fried without filling and served with date syrup.
Thats the secret, Middle East delights meets Italian & French along with traditional Hellenic Cuisine, add on top endless Vegetarian Dishes, unlimited Seafood Dishes, Second Pasta Power in the World, and some of the best Galactic Milk Products, Honey, incredible Herbs like fresh Oregano & Bay Leaves, and you have an Amazing Hybrid Cuisine!

I had a similar sandwich in Marseille or Toulon, France back in 1988 while serving in Navy. Us sailors refereed to it as the "smash" sandwich. Consisting of the cooked ground beef, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, pickle, cheese and the crispy fries all placed in a panni and sealed shut on all sides with a flat hot grill press. Absolute heaven after a night out drinking and just before going back onboard the ship for curfew.
a sidenote. You bought the gyro from one of the most touristic places in Greece. Pita gyro was 2.20 euro some years ago but due to the economy and the wars now its become almost 4 euro per pita.
You had your spinach pie in front of the old Athens Stock Exchange. It brings me memories of people I knew that lost a lot of money pretending to know how to short the stock prices and in reality they were just gambling and they lost everything.
I wish you quote how much all food you eat cost. I know you do for a few items. But would love to know more what the street food is costing Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁. Ps. I think that mini coffee cup receptacle is made from copper not brass.
Inspite of going thru this phase you don't let it show...wow it's not easy..but u do it so well...stay blessed..keep eating...don't ever lose ur appetite....njy...u deserve to b happy..is this episode a collection of ur previous Athens trips as u look quite skinny...ur description of each food item is very clear and we can almost taste it
Very sorry to hear about all of your personal problems we miss both of you but I’m not going to do anything drastic I just want to make sure that you’re OK I want to keep supporting your channel you’re very entertaining and very educational good luck keep up the good work please
Hey brother from another mother hope to see you on your next adventure 🤌👌😁 been through a 13-year-old relationship with four daughters but at the end it will work out if you get the help. I pray for you my brother ✌️ keep it 💯
I would feel at home in Greece seeing this video except for the pork chops part. That is where the feeling of familiarity ends. Simit, coffee, baklava, döner etc...
Greek food is amazing and there’s a lot of crossover with Turkish food eg the kolourakia are just another take on simit for example. That part of the world is epic for gastronomes. Personally, I’ve never had lokoumathes stuffed with Nutella and covered in pistachios - my mum has always kept it basic, so just syrup only. My kids would love them with chocolate!
Can we get some restaurant names for these places in the description. I’d like to visit some of these restaurants but example “lamb chops” isn’t specific enough to find that place.
It's all in Turkey, most Turkish food, gyro, Doner yoghurt sold in Europe is already Turkish, and you can find everything else in Turkey, even more, you should see Istanbul, both Greek history and Turkish history Greek people and Turkish people love each other, we are waiting for you in Turkey.

Try going to a Greek Festival in your state, if you can't go to Greece. Mine just had theirs in my county, like they have every year, since I was little.
No idea why there aren't more Greek-food outlets in the UK - it's gorgeous AND (for the majority of it !) healthy !. For me, it's quite simply THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD.!

From my search in... Internet, some ancient words from Athenaeus, Deipnosofists, many many, many ages ago, before Turks come to Asia Minor... GASTRIS: "And also,' says he, 'in Crete they make a kind of cheesecake (sic, phyllo pastry is described in the ancient text) which they call gastris. And it is made thus: - Take some Thasian and Pontic nuts and some almonds, and also a poppy. Roast this last with great care, and then take the seed and pound it in a clean mortar; [648] then, adding the fruits which I have mentioned above, beat them up with boiled honey, putting in plenty of pepper, and make the whole into a soft mass, (but it will be of a black colour because of the poppy;) flatten it and make it into a square shape; then, having pounded some white sesame, soften that too with boiled honey, and draw it out into two cakes, placing one beneath and the other above, so as to have the black surface in the middle, and make it into a neat shape.' These are the recipes of that clever writer on confectionary, Chrysippus". (I tried to find an english translation, because for many people greek are totally "greek to them"...😁).(Source: www.attalus.org/old/athenaeus14c.html) And an... homeric recipe of souvlaki = eis ovelous (=spits) So he spake, and Patroclus gave ear to his dear comrade. He cast down a great fleshing-block in the light of the fire and laid thereon a sheep's back and a fat goat's, and the chine of a great hog withal, rich with fat. And Automedon held them for him, while goodly Achilles carved. [210] Then he sliced the meat with care and spitted it upon spits, and the son of Menoetius, a godlike man, made the fire blaze high. But when the fire had burned down and the flame was abated, he scattered the embers and laid thereover the spits, and sprinkled the morsels with holy salt when he had set them upon the fire-dogs. But when he had roasted the meat and laid it on platters, [215] Patroclus took bread and dealt it forth on the table in fair baskets, while Achilles dealt the meat. Himself he sate him down over against godlike Odysseus, by the other wall, and bade Patroclus, his comrade, offer sacrifice to the gods; [220] (Homer, ILIAD, BOOK 9, www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0134%3Abook%3D9%3Acard%3D205) Everything is written and curved on the marbles and painted on pottery many ages ago, only the names were changed.
Culinary culture in Ancient Greece is known for its simplicity and reflecting the agricultural inadequacies of the period.[1] During this period, dietary habits are based on wheat, olive oil and wine, which are the three main elements of Mediterranean cuisine. source wikipedia
When you go to Greece, make sure you buy local fruit, I promise you'll be amazed by the taste. Incomparable.
And to think that my mum always complains that fruit and veg don't taste the same anymore ( I'm greek) and to be honest some really don't. What do they feed you in the states? ( I'm assuming you're American).

Cheers from Canada

Ps. I think that mini coffee cup receptacle is made from copper not brass.

Fun fact: the yoghurt, honey, walnut combo is thought to be what the greek gods ate according to greek mythology...it is also an aphrodisiac.
Greeks met yogurt thanks to Turks
There is no document that they ate the mixture you mentioned in ancient Greece.
Very delicious Greek food indeed,,nice episode
4:22 that’s unfortunate
Hey brother from another mother hope to see you on your next adventure 🤌👌😁 been through a 13-year-old relationship with four daughters but at the end it will work out if you get the help. I pray for you my brother ✌️ keep it 💯
I would feel at home in Greece seeing this video except for the pork chops part. That is where the feeling of familiarity ends. Simit, coffee, baklava, döner etc...
What is the seafood place with the grilled octopus ?
La Grecia è bellissima 👍👏🇮🇹
So IS italy too my Friend!!WE greeks love italy❤️❤️
@@dimitrakapa4887 😄👋👋
Greek food is amazing and there’s a lot of crossover with Turkish food eg the kolourakia are just another take on simit for example. That part of the world is epic for gastronomes. Personally, I’ve never had lokoumathes stuffed with Nutella and covered in pistachios - my mum has always kept it basic, so just syrup only. My kids would love them with chocolate!
I love that pork chop. What the name of that place pls? Thanks!
Thank you for the video 😊
What's the name of the Bougatsa place?
Thanks
Greek food is simply the best.
*stolen from the Great TURKS.
Basically both great. Our border’s didn’t exist back in the days.
Can we get some restaurant names for these places in the description. I’d like to visit some of these restaurants but example “lamb chops” isn’t specific enough to find that place.
It's all in Turkey, most Turkish food, gyro, Doner yoghurt sold in Europe is already Turkish, and you can find everything else in Turkey, even more, you should see Istanbul, both Greek history and Turkish history Greek people and Turkish people love each other, we are waiting for you in Turkey.
Αποφύγετε τα τουριστικά κεντρικα μέρη στην Αθήνα. Αυτο βεβαια ισχυει παντού. Μέσω Google μπορείτε να βρείτε πολλά σημεία για πολύ καλύτερο φαγητό .το μετρό βοηθάει πολύ. Απλα δείτε που έχει πολλές και καλές κριτικές και απλά κλείστε τραπέζι!

You remind me of Mathew Broderick back in the 80s a little of that dork thing going on
I have never heard anyone pronounce bagel as baggle. Is that a Canadian thing?
Yes
Try going to a Greek Festival in your state, if you can't go to Greece. Mine just had theirs in my county, like they have every year, since I was little.
What's the name of the place you ate the lamb chops?
What was the name of the lamb chop restaurant?
Hello, I’m right now in Athens and I really wanna go to the Lamb Chops place, anyone know the address please ?
No idea why there aren't more Greek-food outlets in the UK - it's gorgeous AND (for the majority of it !) healthy !. For me, it's quite simply THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD.!

From my search in... Internet, some ancient words from Athenaeus, Deipnosofists, many many, many ages ago, before Turks come to Asia Minor... GASTRIS: "And also,' says he, 'in Crete they make a kind of cheesecake (sic, phyllo pastry is described in the ancient text) which they call gastris. And it is made thus: - Take some Thasian and Pontic nuts and some almonds, and also a poppy. Roast this last with great care, and then take the seed and pound it in a clean mortar; [648] then, adding the fruits which I have mentioned above, beat them up with boiled honey, putting in plenty of pepper, and make the whole into a soft mass, (but it will be of a black colour because of the poppy;) flatten it and make it into a square shape; then, having pounded some white sesame, soften that too with boiled honey, and draw it out into two cakes, placing one beneath and the other above, so as to have the black surface in the middle, and make it into a neat shape.' These are the recipes of that clever writer on confectionary, Chrysippus". (I tried to find an english translation, because for many people greek are totally "greek to them"...😁).(Source: www.attalus.org/old/athenaeus14c.html)
And an... homeric recipe of souvlaki = eis ovelous (=spits)
So he spake, and Patroclus gave ear to his dear comrade. He cast down a great fleshing-block in the light of the fire and laid thereon a sheep's back and a fat goat's, and the chine of a great hog withal, rich with fat. And Automedon held them for him, while goodly Achilles carved. [210] Then he sliced the meat with care and spitted it upon spits, and the son of Menoetius, a godlike man, made the fire blaze high. But when the fire had burned down and the flame was abated, he scattered the embers and laid thereover the spits, and sprinkled the morsels with holy salt when he had set them upon the fire-dogs. But when he had roasted the meat and laid it on platters, [215] Patroclus took bread and dealt it forth on the table in fair baskets, while Achilles dealt the meat. Himself he sate him down over against godlike Odysseus, by the other wall, and bade Patroclus, his comrade, offer sacrifice to the gods; [220] (Homer, ILIAD, BOOK 9, www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0134%3Abook%3D9%3Acard%3D205)
Everything is written and curved on the marbles and painted on pottery many ages ago, only the names were changed.
Culinary culture in Ancient Greece is known for its simplicity and reflecting the agricultural inadequacies of the period.[1] During this period, dietary habits are based on wheat, olive oil and wine, which are the three main elements of Mediterranean cuisine.
