The reason you put masticha into the water it's because in Greece they used to eat it during hot periods...so because it gets quite liquidy so if you sink it to a cold water it gets harder...therefore its name is "Submarine" because you sink it
I have watched similar Greek snack tasting vids and as a Greek myself I can confirm that the lady that sent this box has a great taste and made some absolutely wonderful choices! I just missed some classic almond ION milk chocolate and merenda hazelnut paste, which are adored by 99.99% of people. (Actually if you don't love them, means there is something seriously wrong with you or you are really sick.)
What is this supposed to mean. If you don't like sugary or salty foods you will be considered as a sick person. I'm an athlete of waterpolo training 20 hours per week and I don't eat sugar or salt aka junk food
@@theohasskills9814 To not like ION milk and almond chocolate and Merenda hazelnut chocolate paste is *almost* like saying you don't like a beautiful sunset or you don't like toddlers and not find them adorable. (Speaking of toddlers...) both this and my last comment were exaggerations, like metaphors, Greek word, we Greeks, first started to speak with those to point out how true one fact is, you know? Ever heard of it while not playing polo (irony: Greek word too). So, they are so undeniably and universally good *to the taste*. Of course we are talking about taste, not how good sugar is for health, everybody knows sugar is very bad when not used in very limited and controlled quantities. The fact that you decide not to consume such products at all in order to be at the top of your health and game, doesn't mean that you wouldn't love one of them if you were to try. (So most probably you are not sick according to my metaphor.) Another example: everybody knows ice cream is bad for health and pizza too, but everybody EVEN YOU loves him some ice cream or pizza if he were to try once in a while. Now if you decide not to consume at all to have a six pack or be at the top of your health or whatever, that is a completely different issue. You would still love some any time, if your taste is functioning well.
I personally don't like ION milk chocolate since I was a little and yeah... there is something wrong with me haha. I think maybe for some reason I find it too basic and not making me feel anything at all... Idk
I love the Greek food as much as I like their culture and history! everything about Greece blows me away... hospitality and their kindness. Nicest and most beautiful people, love from England 🏴
Masticha costs somes *hundreds* of euros per kilo, and it's one of the "secret" ingredients in pastry around Europe (and current;y the world) for many centuries. It's produced only on the island of Chios. I've recently read that the production of about 150 tons annually, is not even close to the growing global demand. A unique, delicate and very expensive product.
paper toys Yes its expensive, and yes is a secret ingredient but as a Greek let me tell you is very very strong,so we just use very little otherwise the pastry will have a bitter taste
and who do you think attiki buys their honey from? from all those small or larger local honey producers and this is why it's the best. personally i have a family relative who is a farmer and within everything else, he produces honey. attiki always buys all of his honey batches.

Hi Alex and Kate. Anna and I had so much fun watching you try the items we sent. To answer your questions about the Masticha sweet, I read in the comments that it's served with warm water, but honestly I've never had it served that way, only cold water. The water isn't meant to pick up the flavor, it's just that you really need it with something that sweet. I think it's simply a method of presentation at the cafes.
Hey Sophia!! 😀💗 I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed watching. We absolutely loved trying everything, your box was so interesting and so delicious! Ahhhh i see! I'm pleased we did it correctly!
@@ThisWithThem Hope the shoulder is better. May take a bit of physical therapy. Stay well. If you come back to NYC I'll tell you where to shop for those items.
When I was a kid travelling from New York to Greece, we used to sit in the public squares in Athens and Patras, and order the white stuff on the spoon. They used to call this "ipovrixio", or submarine!
Caprice and drakoulinia are LEGENDARY in Greece. Derby as well. The stuff of childhood dreams, we all went mad for them. The spoon sweets also accompany vanilla ice cream, especially the sour cherry goes amazingly well with kaimaki flavored ice cream and they are traditionally served together..
This showed up on my recommended list today. 😂. 4 years on and we still love your content. Anna is now a senior in college studying forensic science. Best to you all. -Sophia
That is true. We have at least two traditional brands making the same lemonade for decades now, which are actually better than Fanta, namely EPSA and the one here Loux
This was like the best reviewed video with greek food. You reviewed everything so carefully and even me as a greek learnt some things from this. I am so glad that I live in such a healthy consuming country... Only now did I realise how precious our consuming products are... Thank you for the amazing unboxing!
Oh the Greek islands are my favourite places. I have tried lots of those. I love Ouzo and the sweets but never tried that soda. Sounds delicious. Really interesting box 😁👍 i really adore Greek food and the people there are just so lovely. You guys need a trip 😁
Tip: put a full spoon of sour cherry sweet (the one in the jar) in a glass of cold water (or a glass of cold plain soda water) and enjoy the oldest greek refreshment! Granny's recipe!
Hello from Greece 🇬🇷!! 22:15 In Greece we call it mastiha and you put it in the water to become softer and not to be so stiky. When you finish eating it you can drink the water which has a soft sweet taste. It is produced in a greek island which is called "Chio" and you might have heard of Mastiha Chiou. Chio's mastiha is the most popular here in Greece.

Interesting fact the scientific word for the ability to chew in the English language is masticate. It’s etymology is derived from the Greek word for chewing or grinding teeth! - μαστιχάω The natural chewing gum you tried gets its name from the way it has been used for thousands of years. The mastic tree almost exclusively thrives on the island of Chios and as others have mentioned it is used as a flavour in many sweets and breads throughout the Mediterranean. It can also be used in some savoury dishes. Try a pinch of the natural mastic in a casserole and enjoy the aroma.

Hiiii I just found that video in my TH-cam home page. I'm from Greece and guys I LITERALLY LOVE YOUR BRITISH ACCENT. I've learnt english and I speak them very well and now I am trying to make this magical accent!!! Greeting from my beautiful country!!❤❤
I am from Greece 🇬🇷 Thanks for this video really! I so happy when you try this candy and chips and so much stuff! I really wish you enjoyed them! Bravo! 😊
This was very entertaining to watch. Stuff was either bought at Titan or Meditarenean in Astoria. The person had great taste in snacks and the contents of the box are probally close to 100 bucks if not more. I know bc I get the same exact stuff when I feel the need. I feel that the croissants with the pudding inside was missing from this list of snacks and loukoumia and pastilli.
we have a joke about caprice, which was actually used of the company as an advertisement, that because in every greek home we keep the container to put in other stuff, if you actually find caprice in the box its your lucky day😂
Spoon sweets eaten with no bread, this is jam, only by the spoon. They are traditional since the times of Byzantine empire. Sometimes they flavour it with Geranium flower , maybe thats what you found familiar. Masticha ypovrixeio served on an overload long spoon in a cold glass of water. By time it get softer and the water get the taste. You can use it as glaze on your sweets. Its the official treat of Ecumenical Patriarch. Masticha grows only on the Greek island of Chios and makes also a nice spirit called Skinos. Its the original gum.
You might want to try the halva with a bit of honey and cinnamon drizzled on it. I've never tried it like that since I like it as is but it you might like it more like that. The "spoon sweets" were what people would traditionally give you when you went for a visit; always served with a glass of water and not always necessarily with coffee. You can also use them as toppings for icecream or Greek yoghurt. Greek yoghurt is also really good with honey. Kate, you were right; the other gum was rose.
For context, the Caprice tube wafers are notoriously difficult to remove from the packet when you first open it because they are so closely packed together. There are loads of Greeks shocked that you managed to pull one out so easily and quickly.
Cold water guys!! It supposed to be very cold the water for the white mastiha paste as you call it!!! I hope you really enjoyed them because as greek in the Uk i am jealous and hungry!!!
Oh my God! My grandma always used to serve me this sweet on spoon in a glass of really cold water. It was always vanilla though because I didn't like the masticha flavour back then. It is called "ypovrichio" in Greek which literally means submarine.
You made my day guys!!! You are so funny and willing to try different flavours and that's just so special!!! I have to mention one thing ,as i am greek, you must not use the same spoon you ate the jar sweets again in the jar because it will go bad really quickly...put it in a plate instead 😍 sorry for my English! Love you 😘😘😘😘🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
I love the Ouzo candies but they are really hard to find here, seem to be an after dinner treat at the cash out of some restaurants mostly. There is a Greek bakery store in town that has big bags of them but I rarely get there, it’s off the beaten track for me. They are often combined with some in red wrappers that are either cinnamon or pomegranate ones. Yum
Hello Alex and Kate thanks for taking the time and making the effort and sharing another interesting and fun video seeying all the different treats that i have never seen before and that we dont have here in Australia is really interesting again thanks for sharing another awesome taste test video.😁🤗😏
Hey Kate and Alex! I was pleasantly surprised to see you got a box from a young lady that lives in Queens, NY. I was born and raised in Queens and my brothers still work at a hospital near a Greek and Eastern European neighborhood in Astoria. It’s where I would pick up Croatian snacks when I lived in NY. I sadly never took advantage of trying all the other countries snacks much so never had any of these. I loved this video! I didn’t know anise and licorice was favored in the Greek culture. I do love anisette liquor and cookies very much as well as licorice candy. Thanks for this video and I can’t wait til the next one.
Lovely video you guys! Yeah Halva is one of those things that you either love or hate even for Greeks. It's indeed very common during fasting periods. Masticha, at least in Greece is almost always served in a glass of cold water, the colder the better actually. It's generally considered a summer sweet. I haven't tried it with hot water although that could also taste good. You take a big scoop of it, wrap it around the spoon almost as if you are eating spagetti and then you place it in the cold water for a bit, then you lick it. The water later is drinkable but it has a sweet taste.
I loved this box 📦. My moms dad ( my grandfather) is from Greece 🇬🇷. I recognized a lot of the items you received. That honey is amazing and makes the best baclava. As well as putting it in the tea. I lol 😂 at the inserts you guys added. So sorry about your shoulder Kate. I hope 🤞 your feeling well very soon. Alex, your looking very good. Love the hairstyle you have. Thank you both and Sofia and her mother for a great box 💕😊👍

Awe Kate I hope your shoulder is doing better. It's never fun when you are in pain, yet here you still took time do make this video. You are a strong one... I haven't heard of any of these items. I may have to look for that Cherry juice ❤❤

Thanks for this video really!
I so happy when you try this candy and chips and so much stuff! I really wish you enjoyed them! Bravo! 😊
This was very entertaining to watch. Stuff was either bought at Titan or Meditarenean in Astoria. The person had great taste in snacks and the contents of the box are probally close to 100 bucks if not more. I know bc I get the same exact stuff when I feel the need. I feel that the croissants with the pudding inside was missing from this list of snacks and loukoumia and pastilli.
we have a joke about caprice, which was actually used of the company as an advertisement, that because in every greek home we keep the container to put in other stuff, if you actually find caprice in the box its your lucky day😂
Im from greece and when i saw caprice in the box i said "this is fir me"
You should try caprice with dark chocolate its delicius
Wow, THAT was a big wonderful box of goodies! So many things I'd love to try. Kate, I hope your shoulder starts feeling better soon.
I love seeing new snacks. I am going to try some of these.
Yay thanks Jennifer! Hope you can find them 😀

Spoon sweets eaten with no bread, this is jam, only by the spoon. They are traditional since the times of Byzantine empire. Sometimes they flavour it with Geranium flower , maybe thats what you found familiar.
Masticha ypovrixeio served on an overload long spoon in a cold glass of water. By time it get softer and the water get the taste. You can use it as glaze on your sweets. Its the official treat of Ecumenical Patriarch.
Masticha grows only on the Greek island of Chios and makes also a nice spirit called Skinos. Its the original gum.
Pelargonium graveolens (Geranium flower ή Αμπαρόριζα)
You might want to try the halva with a bit of honey and cinnamon drizzled on it. I've never tried it like that since I like it as is but it you might like it more like that.
The "spoon sweets" were what people would traditionally give you when you went for a visit; always served with a glass of water and not always necessarily with coffee. You can also use them as toppings for icecream or Greek yoghurt. Greek yoghurt is also really good with honey.
Kate, you were right; the other gum was rose.
Mmm yes! Great shout! I reckon that would be delicious.
Oh wow, I bet those are delicious with Greek yoghurt!
Thank you Chris 😀
@@ThisWithThem you're welcome
For context, the Caprice tube wafers are notoriously difficult to remove from the packet when you first open it because they are so closely packed together. There are loads of Greeks shocked that you managed to pull one out so easily and quickly.
"derby 'chocolate is an obsession!!😋(from a Greek)
like για το ονομα προφιλ!
Cold water guys!! It supposed to be very cold the water for the white mastiha paste as you call it!!! I hope you really enjoyed them because as greek in the Uk i am jealous and hungry!!!
Oh my God! My grandma always used to serve me this sweet on spoon in a glass of really cold water. It was always vanilla though because I didn't like the masticha flavour back then. It is called "ypovrichio" in Greek which literally means submarine.
Σαν τον Σπανουλη με μαλλιά είναι ο τυπάς 😂😂😂
axxaxaxaax
για την ακρίβεια, σαν το Σπανουλη με περούκα.
This was a nice box! I've not heard of many of the items. It still fascinates me that chips and chocolates are such universal snacks. 😄
Really enjoyed this box ☺️ I know! Me too
You made my day guys!!! You are so funny and willing to try different flavours and that's just so special!!! I have to mention one thing ,as i am greek, you must not use the same spoon you ate the jar sweets again in the jar because it will go bad really quickly...put it in a plate instead 😍 sorry for my English! Love you 😘😘😘😘🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Yaaay so pleased you enjoyed watching this 😀💗 Yes that was very bad of us, we usually don't do that!
Your English is fine! Greetings from California. 👌🦊🍭🍪🍫
This With Them haha its ok😘😘
Mary Cook hello there! Nice to meet you ❤️
I love the Ouzo candies but they are really hard to find here, seem to be an after dinner treat at the cash out of some restaurants mostly. There is a Greek bakery store in town that has big bags of them but I rarely get there, it’s off the beaten track for me. They are often combined with some in red wrappers that are either cinnamon or pomegranate ones. Yum
I can so see them being as an after-dinner treat! Ah no way! At least you can get them if you are really craving them ☺️ Mmm pomegranate ones!! Yum
I love the music playing in the background! Love u Kate and Alex!❤
Thank you Qadir!
What an awesome box!

You should really feel gratefull that box is so so much expensive for an offer!! Try frozen caprice!! Are delicious you cant try only one!!
Hey Kate and Alex! I was pleasantly surprised to see you got a box from a young lady that lives in Queens, NY. I was born and raised in Queens and my brothers still work at a hospital near a Greek and Eastern European neighborhood in Astoria. It’s where I would pick up Croatian snacks when I lived in NY. I sadly never took advantage of trying all the other countries snacks much so never had any of these. I loved this video! I didn’t know anise and licorice was favored in the Greek culture. I do love anisette liquor and cookies very much as well as licorice candy. Thanks for this video and I can’t wait til the next one.
Ah no way! That's awesome 😀 Well you would absolutely love the Ouzo candies! Thank you for watching Klara! So pleased you enjoyed it ☺️

The masticha you ate in the water is called "Υποβρύχιο"="Submarine"
My partners family are Greek so this will be interesting! X

I am Greek and I love Caprice, Derby, chocofreta and of course the Chios Gum - Submarine! Enjoyed your video! 😊
In Romania we have halva made out of sunflower seeds. I personally only eat it when I don’t have any other snacks in my house 😄
Mmm interesting, I wonder if i would like that more!
Lovely video you guys!
Yeah Halva is one of those things that you either love or hate even for Greeks. It's indeed very common during fasting periods.
Masticha, at least in Greece is almost always served in a glass of cold water, the colder the better actually. It's generally considered a summer sweet. I haven't tried it with hot water although that could also taste good. You take a big scoop of it, wrap it around the spoon almost as if you are eating spagetti and then you place it in the cold water for a bit, then you lick it. The water later is drinkable but it has a sweet taste.
Greek!!!!! είμαι Ελληνίδα!!!!!! Ο οποίος είναι Έλληνας να βάλει like!!👍👍

I loved this box 📦. My moms dad ( my grandfather) is from Greece 🇬🇷. I recognized a lot of the items you received. That honey is amazing and makes the best baclava. As well as putting it in the tea. I lol 😂 at the inserts you guys added. So sorry about your shoulder Kate. I hope 🤞 your feeling well very soon. Alex, your looking very good. Love the hairstyle you have. Thank you both and Sofia and her mother for a great box 💕😊👍
Ah amazing! So pleased to hear you loved this one. Love it when we can bring back memories for you guys! Yeah the honey was so lovely. Thank you Lynda! 💗

Greece has some good chocolate it's not super sweet or bitter
Yes that’s very true

As always, I really love your videos, blessings and greetings from Guatemala Central América
Thank you so much Denise ♥️♥️

Most of these snacks are part of greek children's childhood... A huge throwback, lots of memories...
You guys are too funny ! Love the video ❤️🇬🇷
Thank you ☺️♥️
Awe Kate I hope your shoulder is doing better. It's never fun when you are in pain, yet here you still took time do make this video. You are a strong one... I haven't heard of any of these items. I may have to look for that Cherry juice ❤❤
Hi guys! I recently discovered your videos. Love them!! May I suggest if you still have Caprice left, put them in the freezer! They will taste even better! :)
Greetings from Calgary!! :)
Hey! Welcome to our channel ☺️ so pleased you are loving our videos. Ahh I’ll make sure to do that, thank you!
@@ThisWithThem let me know what you think.
@@ThisWithThem Also you must try MERENDA by Pavlidis its the greek equivalent of NUTELLA only far more better. Pavlidis is together with ION the oldest and the most popular chocholate manufacturers in Greece (Pavlidis also has a chocolate stuffed with cherry-my favourite one)
Nice. I needed a little pick-me-up to lift my mood. And here I see that This With Them have uploaded a new video. Perfect timing.
I hope you enjoy watching our video and I hope it can help pick you up! ♥️
