You can figure this guy couldn't possibly keep up with the demands of 100 hotels, simply not possible and I imagine that played a part in the hotels switching. As much as people like mom and pop stores, they simply cannot keep up with ever increasing population and demands for the dough. People don't have time and can't afford to drive from all over the country to his shop to get his products and he can't supply enough product to stock all the stores so the industry steps in to meet the demand. This isn't hard to figure out. This guy caters to a niche group of citizens and tourists in his immediate surrounding area and that's all he can support.

    Phyllo dough making hard and laborious but it is not a dying tradition. It’s flourishing in the region, aside from Greece a lot of the other surrounding countries still make it by hand. Housewife’s and small shops still make it all by hand on a daily basis. Even here in the US a lot of us who immigrated still know how to make it by hand. Personally I only do it every once in a while because making the dish takes hours, but only minutes to eat and store bought phyllo is just not the same

    • @panajotov
      @panajotov ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Absolutely agree. Throughout the region, there are even different techniques of dough stretching. It is a tradition passed in families. Many restaurants and taverns are proud of presenting their own handmade phyllo. There's nothing wrong with store-bought, but you can tell the difference in delicacy of the texture and taste. It is a real treat.

    I love the idea of revering the ancestors. My family has our family reunion across the lane from the cemetery where many of my family are buried. We have family there going back to the 1700’s. When we’ve finished eating it’s tradition to walk over to visit with our family members who have passed on. They get told of happenings since the past year, introduced to new family and tell stories about them. To me it’s so comforting knowing around me are my ancestors. So close yet so far away.

      You really can taste it. The best way I can describe it is this: you know how when, lets say a factory somewhere makes "instant rice", right? Well, lets say they make several varieties, and it's like "Instant rice: Chicken flavour" or "Instant rice: beef flavour". And you eat it, and it's never good, but you never question the "taste" thing. Does it really taste like chicken, or does it taste like shit, but tries to make you think of chicken? Would you mistake a real roasted chicken with whatever powder they season the rice with? This is kind of like that. Real product vs rushed product made to taste like the real thing via chemicals.

    In my house we still have my late grandmother's metate but we rarely use it, except for dishes that specifically require it. My mum has always told me how her own grandmother used to employ the metate for hand-making tortillas, but more and more industrial processes are making it more and more obsolete in the kitchen because of its sheer size, as it is not as practical as a molcajete. Still its a beautiful piece of family history, and I love to use it even if I end up sore all over.

    1) Since traditional times - In South India - the Mexican metate is still in use fr grinding the different varieties of chutneys!
    2) It is called "ammikal".
    3) Many varieties of heavy "stoneware" vessels are used regularly fr cooking gravies/ stews/ boiling rice etc. Even the Mortar & pestle also come in stoneware.
    4) The large stone "Attukal" is used fr manually grinding heavy duty Idli & Dosa batter.
    5) "Appakaral" is used fr deep frying small balls of fermented batter in 5/7/9 pre designed stone pits.
    6) All the above jobs are done manually!

    You watch other videos where they talk about ancient tech and the mysteries surrounding how things were done in ancient times (pyramids, stone cutting, easter island, etc) and you wonder how that knowledge just vanished and became "lost" to the modern world. Then I'll see a video like this and realize it's actually pretty easy. We're potentially 60 years away from nobody knowing how to make phyllo dough or soy sauce or whatever it may be by hand. As corporate & government entities take over farming globally, we're losing an immense depth of knowledge by removing generational farmers around the world. As we saw when Russian communists forced out the Cossacks in the past, food production plummeted without their knowledge.
