Νικόλαος Σαρρης Φίλε, ειλικρινά η ΙΟΝ είναι η καλύτερη, ειδικά η Αμυγδάλου!! Εχει βγεί και με Stevia τώρα (και η Γάλακτος έχει βγει!) και εξίσου ειλικρινά σου λέω ότι δεν έχει καμία διαφορά στη γεύση!!! :-) Αλλά θα προσθέσω και την Υγειας του Παυλίδη!!!
Mastic (Greek: Μαστίχα) is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus). In pharmacies and nature shops, it is called "Arabic gum" (not to be confused with gum arabic) and "Yemen gum". In Greece, it is known as the "tears of Chios," being traditionally produced on that Greek island, and, like other natural resins, is produced in "tears" or droplets. Originally a sap, mastic is sun-dried into pieces of brittle, translucent resin. When chewed, the resin softens and becomes a bright white and opaque gum. The flavor is bitter at first, but after some chewing, it releases a refreshing, slightly pine or cedar-like flavor. The word mastic is derived from the Greek verb, μαστιχειν (mastichein) "to gnash the teeth", which is the source of the English word masticate.[1] The word mastic is a synonym for gum in many languages. Within the European Union, mastic production in Chios is granted protected designation of origin. The island's mastic production is controlled by a co-operative of medieval villages, collectively known as the 'Mastichochoria' (Μαστιχοχώρια), which is also located in southern Chios. There is even a small Museum of Mastic in the village of Pyrgi. Traditionally there has also been limited production of mastic on the Çeşme peninsula, on the Turkish coast only eight nautical miles from Chios, with similar ecological conditions suitable for mastic production.[2] The Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion, for Reforestation and the Protection of Natural Habitats TEMA has been leading a project to protect the native mastic trees and to plant new ones in Çeşme peninsula to revive viable commercial production. As part of this project, which is expected to last through 2016, over 3,000 mastic tree saplings were planted between 2008 and October 2011 to over 368 acres (149 hectares) of dedicated farm land provided by the Izmir Institute of Technology.[3] The harvest takes place from the beginning of July to the beginning of October. First, the area around the tree is cleared and sprinkled with inert calcium carbonate. Then, every 4-5 days, 5-10 incisions are made in the bark of each tree. The resin flows from the incisions and solidifies on the ground. The pieces of dry mastic can then be collected for cleaning and eventual sale. In addition to mastic, mastic oil is also produced. Imitations and substitutesThe rarity of mastic and the difficulty of its production make it expensive. As a result, imitations in the form of other resins appear in the market, sold as "mastic," such as Boswellia or gum arabic. Other trees, such as Pistacia palaestina, can also produce a resin similar to mastic. Yet other substances, such as pine tree resin and almond tree resin, are sometimes used in place of mastic. Mastic has been used as a medicine since antiquity and is still used in traditional folk medicine of the Middle East. In ancient Greece, it was given as a remedy for snakebite. The first-century Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides mentions the healing properties of mastic in his book De Materia Medica. Hippocrates wrote that the mastic is good for prevention of digestive problems and colds, and Galenus suggested that mastic was useful for bronchitis and for improving the condition of the blood. Mastic contains antioxidants and also has antibacterial and antifungal properties.[4] A Nottingham University study published in the New England Journal of Medicine claims that mastic can cure peptic ulcers by killing Helicobacter pylori bacteria.[5] Other studies have indicated that mastic has only a modest ability to eliminate H. pylori but have also suggested that refining mastic by removing the polymer poly-β-myrcene may make the active components, particularly isomasticadienolic acid, more available and effective.[6] One study found that high consumption of Chios mastic powder results in decreased levels of total serum cholesterol, LDL, total cholesterol/HDL ratio, lipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein A-1, apolipoprotein B, ALT, AST, and GGT.[7] Mastic oil is widely used in the preparation of ointments for skin disorders and afflictions. In the past, it was also used in the manufacture of adhesive bandages. Dental hygieneMastic may have some value in preventing tooth decay[8] and gingivitis[9] as well as chewing mastic reduces oral bacteria. In medieval times, mastic was highly valued by sultans' harems as a breath freshener and a tooth whitener. In India and Persia, mastic was used to fill dental cavities.

Your taste testing vids are my fave! I can't watch some utubers because they always spit food out & open their mouth while they're eating & it really grosses me out. & you're so funny, you always crack me up! Just keep doing what you're doing, no need to change anything :)
The reason why people watch you are for those reasons!! Your original and really funny. You set the bar high for others because there is more to you than taste tests!
i love your enthusiasm, & all of your random stories! I think the best part of the videos are your genuine surprised/excited reactions to everything! keep up the good work Tam!
I love the comically giant scissors you used to open the package made me chuckle ^-^, by the way I realky enjoy you videos they always brighten my day.
Tam, please change NOTHING about what you do because it's you being genuine, lovely, very funny and the pure sunshine that you which every week makes my day! Jack, UK. :) xx
LightLunchBoy Thank you so much Jack I know I could rehearse, script, read up about the flavours and how to say the names of things up in advance but then I wouldn't feel comfortable with doing that so I will just keep on fumbling through my videos : )
Δεν υπαρχει λεξη απο οσο ξερω αλλα μπορουνε να φα γραψουμε ετσι:. Souvlaki, melomakarona, kourabiedes :p και μετα να πουμε πως souvlaki is meat rolled on pie with some sause and fries. Melomakarona are sweet soft biscuits with almonds or nuts on top and kourabiedes are sth like biscuits just covered with sprinkled sugar all over
Here I am in the middle of the night, watching one taste test of an Aussie woman after another :D you are completely hilarious, never thought watching people eating candy would be so enjoyable. I'm looking forward to your next taste test, you should try something from Serbia if possible :)
omg they gave you ΕΛΜΑ? thats the natural chewing gum. gornw on one island since ancient greece. its from the sap of the tree. its good for the teeth and your digestion, but it tastes awful.
+Αλίκη Χαμπουντανίδου Yes, I agree. The taste is wonderful, in fact, it's the most refreshing and naturally tasting gum - no need for coloring and other chemicals.
I need to admit i am not fan of Elma either. And i am Greek. Well the reason it has this weird flavor it's because it is the original Mastic which they gather from thr inside of trees. Seriously. It comes from the wood of the tree. It's realy healthy but i never eat it :P Someone should warn you for that. The second i saw it i was like "do not eat it. Seriously stay away from it" Not like the classic gum we all know
The Sokofreta,the sokolata ion and the lacta,the minis and the pitsinia are marvelous!!!I am from Greece!You must visit Greece and eat mousaka,tzatziki,souvlaki,pita gyro!!!!!
The gum is flavoured with mastic that's why it has a weird flavour . Mastic is a spice from mastic trees which can only grow in a greek island called Chios. It's an old fashioned gum of Greece but many people still love it's special flavour. 😊😊 hope you enjoyed the rest of the snacks 😊😊
After watching this video, I came to the realization that Australia's winter is our summer here in the US. You said it was hot in your video, so I looked up the temperature in Sydney, it is raining and not very warm. Then I remembered I may have learned that the northern and southern hemispheres have opposite seasons. Lol. I felt rather silly for not remembering that.
LOVE the name change; more true to you. You had me in stitches. It's not a Cheeky Tam Taste Test unless something drops on the floor. Sooooo much chocolate. Bacon chips! Where were that for our taste test?? ( New video in channel. PLUG!) You did well. Greek is a tricky language at times. The gum did the job (as opposed to being stuck to cinema seating.). I think I'll stick to Extra. thank you. Fun video, as always Tam. Hugs. xx
***** Happy Birthday!!!! Thank you so much I've been wanting to make the name change for a while now so glad I finally got around to it. Believe it or not I try not to drop things, I'm so glad I now have a tarp on my floor. You did a taste test video cool I'll have to check it out. Greek is a tricky language, I struggle enough with the English language. Gum and cinema seats yep I know it only too well, it always surprises me when people ask at the kiosk if we sell gum...LOL why would we it's asking for trouble.
Hey Tam - love the new name and love your taste tests! You are so much more interesting when describing the stuff you taste and we definitely know when you don't like it lol. Keep up the good work your videos make me smile, thanks :)
Roxy C Thank you so much Roxy I really appreciate your comment. I was glad to see the old channel name gone and put up a new Avatar picture. I've been meaning to make these changes for a while now. I guess when it comes to taste testing everyone who does them adds their own unique spin on things.
I really prefer your videos over other taste test videos. A lot of them are entirely too formal. The silliness definitely helps keep the atmosphere light. Pretty much keep doing what you're doing ^-^
Very nice Tam. I`ve been to Greece a few times. There I lived mostly on Greek Coffee,Greek Yoghurt, honey and Ouzo and the red snappers I caught while out fishing in the Mediterranean Sea.
The flavor of the gum is mastic. I was anticipating this reaction and it was priceless! Glad you enjoy our snacks! Well... minus the gum. I live abroad and I miss them a great deal, so to cope I watch other people eating them!
I don't think it's a moth...but a bee for the honey on the seasame bar. Those are the biggest scissors I've ever seen! Creepy sound...glad you are still alive and able to post this video! It's all greek to me...lol..had to say that! :) I was squinting at the bag when you had the "A-HA" moment and I was thinking...that they kind of look like bacon strips!! Always enjoy you Tam girl! :)
Maddie Post I don't know why I thought a moth would be on tat honey sesame bar makes more sense that it would be a bee. Seems every time I record a video all manner of strangeness happens outside geez can't a girl make a video in peace without hearing crazy freaky noises outside. I try not to study the bags and packaging before I taste something that way I have no idea what the product is and what it's called...hence all the stuff ups : ) Thanks. Hope you are well
Hahahaha... Serano is also the name of a fictitious baseball player in a movie. Uniquely interesting only to me. Ah! The unintentional comedy in your videos, Cheeky! Your videos are always so good! Great job.
I have to tell you that I like this video. It's so much fun watching you try new things, your reactions are so awesome and real. Also I must say that you get even more Lovely with every video, and some day If I ever travel to Australia to meet you..... I'll be sure to have "Salty Snacks" with me.......... to share with you.
YoucancallmeA I almost thought I had accidentally picked up a special dental gum or smokers gum but apparently this particular flavour is unique to Greece : )
Haha your reaction to the foods you pull out is always priceless tam! and i like the new channel name :) i am thinking about changing mines when i build a bigger fan base ;)
Great video really! The sesame honey bar you tried (pasteli) is one of Greece's oldest and most traditional candy. It is ancient, actually, and it is considered a super food. As for the elma gums, they are made from the retina of mastic trees. Now the extraordinary thing about those trees is that they only produce this retina on the island of chios. Many tried to cultivate the trees in other places but nothing happened. Mastic is famous for it's therapeutic properties for irritated or with wounds from acid stomach, preservance of gums and benefits for health in general and is considered to be antiseptic, as well as an expensive spice.
:) I enjoyed watching this and it makes me want to buy snacks from other countries. I have watched other taste test videos and get bored but I love your channel! A friend from America asked if there was anything I wanted as a present when they come over and I suggest stuff to taste test - inspired :p Xx
Your videos are amazing ! I don't bother with others because you are so genuin and funny l and always put a smile on my face a Also because I'm just as clumsy !
Great taste test Tam :) I think that that has to be the biggest amount of food I think I've seen anyone hold :) that noise sounded like someone was caged and wanted those sweets hehe :) I need to go to Greece and try some of those tasty sweets they look so good :)
hey tam! i really love your videos!!! please never stop i would like to send u some english sweets so you can try more dont stop doing these vids yay !!! xx
The gum you ate out in some bushes (called mastic trees- you can google it) in Chios and do good in the bloodstream and in many others. Many people go to this island and eating not only the gum but this and many other things that are made from this.
Mastich is a rasin from a tree that grows only in Chios island In small quantities is used in cooking and in bakery as aromatic The gum is a bit strong but the best sweet with mastich is the vanilla or submarine as we call it A white sugary hardish sweet that we spoon it and usually put it in a glass of cold water hence submarine or in greek ipovrihio which you lick like a lollypop and afterwards u drink the water which has now a mastich flavor
Your taste test vids are always better than others, you're so funny :) Those bacon corn snacks are similar to Pork Scratchings in UK & Bacon Fries here in Ireland. I'm thinking the Gum might've been nicotine gum maybe? if the flavour stopped after few chews.
ugh, can't laugh, it hurts. Still sick, hurting from laughing. You amuse me so. You said too much chocolate like it's a bad thing. I love chocolate. if you ever feel like you have too much send it my way. I love it! :D bunch of strange sounds today. Personally I don't recall much of what I heard when I could have died from an asthma attack. But I did see an orange clock ticking away on the ceiling. very strange. I love your taste test as always. And don't sell yourself short. Your taste tests are my fave, you are fun and quirky and show true response.
this is the first video I watch from you and I am already a fan! haha, you are very funny ;) Elma tastes like crap but it's very good for your stomach and teeth
the gum it's called mastic ..mastic only grows in chios greece and it is not dental gum but it's good for your heart ,your skin ..everything .. its like gum coming out of trees its the first natural gum in the world
Hey Tam was great seeing one of your taste has videos a new one those chips that you were trying to guess the flavor if you would've saw on the front of the bag there is a whole bunch of little pieces of bacon so is soon as you were trying to guess what the flavor was I knew it was bacon from front of the bag. The gum that was funny you had me laughing so much so thanks for doing this tease test you made me hungry and started eating and I'm with you on the salty snacks give me a bag and I want to eat the whole bag but I know I can't. I'd like to see you do another taste test from Canada and try some of our different items that we have it would be interesting to see you try some cereals but who knows? Anyways thanks for great video and I'll be waiting for the next.
That was awesome Tam! The gum, not so much lol ;D Your channel kicks butt...so many subs and views..congrats..I have always enjoyed your vids!! hugs, lady E
Hi!I am from Greece,i also don't like mastic gum ((lol)) but the other foods that we have in Greece are AWSOME!!!I love your channell! Thanks for reading ^.^
Omg ΕΛμΑ is the only mastique gum in the world!It comes from Chios,where it is the only place mastiques are growing
I can agree with Cheeky Tam that ION chocolate is best

hahahaha im from greece.. when you ate ελμα u probably ddnt know theyre gums with mastic flavour
Elma is a normal gum...not like trident
Mastic gum is the best and healthier gum
***** I had not heard of Mastic gum before making this video it's very interesting.
Cheeky Tam The Mastic is a tree (mastictree)the Mastic gum is making only on Hios
Cheeky Tam google it . its only on greece
the elma gums are made from masticha a natural product that only grows in greece and is extremely healthy !
Mastic (Greek: Μαστίχα) is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus). In pharmacies and nature shops, it is called "Arabic gum" (not to be confused with gum arabic) and "Yemen gum". In Greece, it is known as the "tears of Chios," being traditionally produced on that Greek island, and, like other natural resins, is produced in "tears" or droplets.
Originally a sap, mastic is sun-dried into pieces of brittle,
translucent resin. When chewed, the resin softens and becomes a bright
white and opaque gum. The flavor is bitter at first, but after some
chewing, it releases a refreshing, slightly pine or cedar-like flavor.
The word mastic is derived from the Greek verb, μαστιχειν (mastichein) "to gnash the teeth", which is the source of the English word masticate.[1] The word mastic is a synonym for gum in many languages.
Within the European Union, mastic production in Chios is granted protected designation of origin. The island's mastic production is controlled by a co-operative of medieval villages, collectively known as the 'Mastichochoria' (Μαστιχοχώρια), which is also located in southern Chios. There is even a small Museum of Mastic in the village of Pyrgi.
Traditionally there has also been limited production of mastic on the Çeşme peninsula, on the Turkish coast only eight nautical miles from Chios, with similar ecological conditions suitable for mastic production.[2] The Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion, for Reforestation and the Protection of Natural Habitats TEMA
has been leading a project to protect the native mastic trees and to
plant new ones in Çeşme peninsula to revive viable commercial
production. As part of this project, which is expected to last through
2016, over 3,000 mastic tree saplings were planted between 2008 and
October 2011 to over 368 acres (149 hectares) of dedicated farm land
provided by the Izmir Institute of Technology.[3]
The harvest takes place from the beginning of July to the beginning
of October. First, the area around the tree is cleared and sprinkled
with inert calcium carbonate.
Then, every 4-5 days, 5-10 incisions are made in the bark of each tree.
The resin flows from the incisions and solidifies on the ground. The
pieces of dry mastic can then be collected for cleaning and eventual
sale. In addition to mastic, mastic oil is also produced.
Imitations and substitutesThe
rarity of mastic and the difficulty of its production make it
expensive. As a result, imitations in the form of other resins appear in
the market, sold as "mastic," such as Boswellia or gum arabic. Other trees, such as Pistacia palaestina, can also produce a resin similar to mastic. Yet other substances, such as pine tree resin and almond tree resin, are sometimes used in place of mastic.
Mastic has been used as a medicine since antiquity and is still used in traditional folk medicine of the Middle East. In ancient Greece, it was given as a remedy for snakebite. The first-century Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides mentions the healing properties of mastic in his book De Materia Medica. Hippocrates wrote that the mastic is good for prevention of digestive problems and colds, and Galenus suggested that mastic was useful for bronchitis and for improving the condition of the blood.
Mastic contains antioxidants and also has antibacterial and antifungal properties.[4] A Nottingham University study published in the New England Journal of Medicine claims that mastic can cure peptic ulcers by killing Helicobacter pylori bacteria.[5] Other studies have indicated that mastic has only a modest ability to eliminate H. pylori but have also suggested that refining mastic by removing the polymer poly-β-myrcene may make the active components, particularly isomasticadienolic acid, more available and effective.[6]
One study found that high consumption of Chios mastic powder results
in decreased levels of total serum cholesterol, LDL, total
cholesterol/HDL ratio, lipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein A-1,
apolipoprotein B, ALT, AST, and GGT.[7]
Mastic oil is widely used in the preparation of ointments for skin
disorders and afflictions. In the past, it was also used in the
manufacture of adhesive bandages.
Dental hygieneMastic may have some value in preventing tooth decay[8] and gingivitis[9]
as well as chewing mastic reduces oral bacteria. In medieval times,
mastic was highly valued by sultans' harems as a breath freshener and a
tooth whitener. In India and Persia, mastic was used to fill dental
cavities.

Very nice Tam. I`ve been to Greece a few times. There I lived mostly on Greek Coffee,Greek Yoghurt, honey and Ouzo and the red snappers I caught while out fishing in the Mediterranean Sea.
Haycroft2 Well that Greek diet sounds perfect to me...okay well not sure about the Ouzo I can only cope with small quantities of it. : )
Taste tests seem to have taken off on TH-cam lately - but I still enjoy yours the most! Love the channel rebrand, I think it's a great idea :)
You make me so happy !! 😂😂😂😂
The flavor of the gum is mastic. I was anticipating this reaction and it was priceless! Glad you enjoy our snacks! Well... minus the gum.
I live abroad and I miss them a great deal, so to cope I watch other people eating them!
I don't think it's a moth...but a bee for the honey on the seasame bar. Those are the biggest scissors I've ever seen! Creepy sound...glad you are still alive and able to post this video! It's all greek to me...lol..had to say that! :) I was squinting at the bag when you had the "A-HA" moment and I was thinking...that they kind of look like bacon strips!! Always enjoy you Tam girl! :)

Ah! The unintentional comedy in your videos, Cheeky! Your videos are always so good! Great job.

Your taste Test videos are the best in youtube!!
Great video really! The sesame honey bar you tried (pasteli) is one of Greece's oldest and most traditional candy. It is ancient, actually, and it is considered a super food. As for the elma gums, they are made from the retina of mastic trees. Now the extraordinary thing about those trees is that they only produce this retina on the island of chios. Many tried to cultivate the trees in other places but nothing happened. Mastic is famous for it's therapeutic properties for irritated or with wounds from acid stomach, preservance of gums and benefits for health in general and is considered to be antiseptic, as well as an expensive spice.
Loving your new update Tam :) loved this review x

The Pitsinia look very similar to English Frazzels.
Love your videos!!
PrettyLittleGleek The Pitsinia is very similar to the Frazzels : ) thank you
Cheeky Tam Hi loved the video
The gum you ate out in some bushes (called mastic trees- you can google it) in Chios and do good in the bloodstream and in many others. Many people go to this island and eating not only the gum but this and many other things that are made from this.
Mastich is a rasin from a tree that grows only in Chios island In small quantities is used in cooking and in bakery as aromatic The gum is a bit strong but the best sweet with mastich is the vanilla or submarine as we call it A white sugary hardish sweet that we spoon it and usually put it in a glass of cold water hence submarine or in greek ipovrihio which you lick like a lollypop and afterwards u drink the water which has now a mastich flavor
Nice video... Greatly enjoyed... TU.. Alyre & Lorenzo.
Like Cheeky Tam 😊 Tam or Tams are my nick names 😊 Funny as always!!!!
Thumps up for Lacta from Greece!!!
OMG I love you!!! So awesome and beautiful!!!!!
Your taste test vids are always better than others, you're so funny :) Those bacon corn snacks are similar to Pork Scratchings in UK & Bacon Fries here in Ireland. I'm thinking the Gum might've been nicotine gum maybe? if the flavour stopped after few chews.
ugh, can't laugh, it hurts. Still sick, hurting from laughing. You amuse me so. You said too much chocolate like it's a bad thing. I love chocolate. if you ever feel like you have too much send it my way. I love it! :D bunch of strange sounds today. Personally I don't recall much of what I heard when I could have died from an asthma attack. But I did see an orange clock ticking away on the ceiling. very strange. I love your taste test as always. And don't sell yourself short. Your taste tests are my fave, you are fun and quirky and show true response.
i love all of your videos !!!!!

the gum it's called mastic ..mastic only grows in chios greece and it is not dental gum but it's good for your heart ,your skin ..everything .. its like gum coming out of trees its the first natural gum in the world
Hey Tam was great seeing one of your taste has videos a new one those chips that you were trying to guess the flavor if you would've saw on the front of the bag there is a whole bunch of little pieces of bacon so is soon as you were trying to guess what the flavor was I knew it was bacon from front of the bag. The gum that was funny you had me laughing so much so thanks for doing this tease test you made me hungry and started eating and I'm with you on the salty snacks give me a bag and I want to eat the whole bag but I know I can't. I'd like to see you do another taste test from Canada and try some of our different items that we have it would be interesting to see you try some cereals but who knows? Anyways thanks for great video and I'll be waiting for the next.
I'm from Greece and I don't like those mastic gums too.. But it's healthy
That was awesome Tam! The gum, not so much lol ;D
