      Bulgarian yoghurt doesn’t exist.
      Yoghurt was invented in Bulgaria (the bacteria responsible of the yoghurt fermentation it is called Lactobacillus bulgaricus) without it…we might not have yoghurt at all.
      Many think that yoghurt it is Greek but just cos the northern part of Greece uses to be part of the Bulgar empiere a few centuries ago.
      I studied that and was quite fascinating. In Italy (that’s where I’m from) we still have the wrong believe (like many others) about yoghurt but just cos Bulgaria is incredible bad in marketing.
      To much nationalist and dumbness I guess.

    Just a few tips to point out: The traditional Greek version of Mussaka also consists of thymian and rosemary (sometimes oregano too) spices, which are added on every layer throughout the making, and the main reason why its recommended to add some sauce directly to the meat (as you did) is because it makes it more sticky and thus it wont fall out that easily later on when cutting portions or eating

    Surprised nobody has brought up that the “meat filling” in moussaka and a few other green dishes was the origin of Cincinnati chili and “coney” chili dogs. Pasta from Italian immigrants and hot dogs from German immigrants had already gotten a hold of the US and Greek immigrants decided to add their own spins on each. The “coney” dogs were independently developed throughout the country while the chili spaghetti we now call Cincinnati chili was from two greek immigrant brothers in Ohio. Perfect example of multiculturalism in the US leading to new dishes that are unconventional, unlikely to develop if they had remained culturally separated, and yet extremely well-liked dishes. You should definitely make Cincinnati chili (“five-way” style or don’t do it at all imo) if you’ve never tried it before, it’s probably my family’s favorite meal.
