      Spanakopita is normally made with dough in rural areas. In my island the women making it always use actual dough. In the city they are too lazy and make it with filo dough because its too easy.

  • @elfhchan
    @elfhchan 4 года назад +147

    3 things I wanna point out:
    1. Spanakopita's filling and flavor usually depend on the origin of the maker. Greece may be a generally small country, but its regions are vast and the traditions quite endless. I am greek and sometimes i am amazed as to how different each part of greek cuisine can be. In my house, my mother always makes her spanakopita with loads of greek feta, in other parts of Greece they don't use feta at all.
    2. Gyros is a big thing in Greece, and it is almost always a hit or miss, especially in Athens. The old timely, traditional gyros is made with just a few ingredients and sometimes no sauce, whereas the new version has always tzatziki sauce, french fries, with sometimes adding ketchup, mustard, mayo or even spice in the mix
    3. Loukoumades is even harder to explain. Each house, if traditionally makes this sweet, has its own way of serving it. I, for example, love it with honey and walnuts, but i enjoy the occasional white chocolate on top. It has endless possibilities and i am sure some people started making the savory version of this. You just can't go wrong with loukoumades hahahaha.
    Thank you for coming to my TED TALK. Stay safe and enjoy Greece.!

    Now from the viewers perspective. Can’t feel, smell or taste so we’ll be relying on the description, sight and sound of Luke and Sabrina’s camera work. Absolutely spot on guys, the comparison translates exactly how I would rate as well. Even the last one, tossing between the two desserts. You can happily enjoying a cup of coffee or tea with the classic loukoumades and indulge yourself with that extra fancy toppings on the weekend. Everything look so delicious though.

  • @MaegnasMw
    @MaegnasMw 3 года назад +1

    One, to dispel a misconception. It is VERY rare to "score" a traditional greek cheese pie that is made with actual Feta cheese, usually Mitzithra is used (a type of cottage cheese, saltier and more soft than your typical Feta - and way cheaper!). Most sure fire way to get Feta in your cheese pie is to find home made cheese pie (tiropita, in greek). Same goes for spanakopita with cheese, that's also most probably mitzithra and not feta.
    Two, there is one special ingredient that makes all greek food taste better, and it is the same thing for ALL our food, be it salty or sweet, baked or cooked or grilled or whatever. We just LOVE life too much and want to enjoy it to 110% or more, this is why we make our food "to die for". Yes, many dishes are "borrowed", others are "parallel" to similar ones in the area and a select few, many of which were NOT presented like lentil soup, are original since the days of Homer. Each dish is "adapted" according to our life philosophy so each one may differ slightly from the way others make similar dishes. No biggie, happens everywhere.

    Nice to discover different places and tastes, but spanakopita is made with feta, the 1st was more a greens pie, hortopita, the 2nd pita was a leek pie, Prasopita. Souvlaki does not contain parsley or tomato sauce. Loukoumades, aren't filled with syrup and especially not nutella. You didn't try anything traditional, no spanakopita, souvlaki pita, or loukoumades. I hope you had a good meze afterwards with an ouzo or tsipouro, ya mas

  • @ThESlAcKeR-r5r

    The MAM spanakopita had bougatsa fyllo
    The ARISTON spankopita had the classic traditional fyllo
    Depends on what fyllo or filling u like...
    O KOSTAS souvlaki is also the classic one they serve the same from its beginning
    KOSTAS souvlaki serves the modern type of souvlaki which is more huge
    Again depends if you want the light or the heavy version...
    First shop with loukoumades the traditonal way..
    Second shop the modern served loukoumades with any filling you want
    So again battle against tradition and classic style

    The souvlaki in the suburbs of athens is different that ones you get in the centre of the city but it gets even more different types in north Greece i prefer the athenian suburb type of souvlaki
    It is also verry healthy just meat and fresh vegies in a pitta u can remove french fries also (we call them just fries here) in order to make ot even more healthier
    I think is the healthier street food you can get
    I suggest you the next time in greece to go outside the centre try new things and foods and see many sights and hills away from "tourist areas" i hope one day to see you guys in some islands also...
