I prefere Greek PitaGyros to turkish kebab, no way about it! gyros is pork, kebab beef.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakos13 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I also noticed that wil.... you should prefer Gyros to Doner Kebab, because its 100 times better in meat, sauce , bread and preparation. Who wants shitty durum-arabic bread or lame tastless pide/bagguette as bread...pita is superior. Also its made from lamb and not beef, and the truth is turkish doner kebab is actually tastes better in Italy, Germany, Austria than it does in ALL of Turkey!

XXX-18T Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 nice find XXX18T :LOL: the Mad greek was really mad inside he had this all over the walls:We knew thee of old, Oh, divinely restored, By the lights of thine eyes And the light of thy Sword From the graves of our slain Shall thy valour prevail As we greet thee again- Hail, Liberty! Hail! Long time didst thou dwell Mid the peoples that mourn, Awaiting some voice That should bid thee return. Ah, slow broke that day And no man dared call, For the shadow of tyranny Lay over all: And we saw thee sad-eyed, The tears on thy cheeks While thy raiment was dyed In the blood of the Greeks. Yet, behold now thy sons With impetuous breath Go forth to the fight Seeking Freedom or Death. From the graves of our slain Shall thy valour prevail As we greet thee again- Hail, Liberty! Hail!

levendi2000 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 well will i dont like to be a professor either, but greeks were the first to make pizza as i did a study on it for hospitality at school a few years back. why is pizza known to be italian?? greeks made it and italians stole it and served it as a breakfast food to their queen in napoli. centuries later they started selling it in shops and cafes. but bottom line pizza is greek. so excuse me for borrowing a few italian statues to put it in front of the shop. :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if it was Greek, we would see our neighbors adapt it such as the slavs, the loser-slavs (fyrom), and turks/albanians it would exist in their cuisine similar to other greek dishes, and similar to how some of their dishes they got from us... Pizza in Italy goes back to Napoli in ancient times supposedly..idea of putting cheese on it. Its uniquely Italian, even if a Greek came up with the idea of bread with toppings its role in Italian culture/cuisine and development there says its really italian...similar to Gyros in Greece, i mean the idea is similar to doner kebab, but Greece really perfected the dish and its got a big history in the modern greece, also nobody is sure where it came from. WilProdotto- if you knew where this shop was, youd understand. This is in Nevada, and abandoned state that has nothing other than Las Vegas and desert...im sure the Mad Greek will take what he can get in terms of supplies of statues which he probably gets cheap/used from the Vegas casinos...... can anybody explain to me, why almost all diners in the USA are Greek? It is it a Greek immigrant concept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loup Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 :tup: We should start a forum for good Greek diners :tup: I'm not even kidding If you are in London Ontario - why I wouldn't lnow - hit Richies or Prince Alberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i see you understand what I meant... he probably took the most "mediterrean" things he found in the area!!! eheheheHowever I really LOVE Greek kitchen, really!!! And fortunatly my girlfriend is a great chef. I tasted many many traditional dishes, and there's no foreign kitchen i love more! Of corse I cannot stay more than 2 days without eating spaghetti and some hour without drinking coffee (espresso of corse!), but Greek food is amazing!

XXX-18T Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 It is said that the idea of using bread as a plate came from the Greeks who ate flat round bread (plankuntos) baked with an assortment of toppings. It was eaten by the working man and his family because it was a thrifty and convenient food. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6th Century B.C. At the height of the Persian Empire, it is said that the soldiers of Darius the Great (521-486 B.C.), accustomed to lengthy marches, baked a kind of bread flat upon their shields and then covered it with cheese and dates. 3rd Century B.C. Marcus Porcius Cato (234-149 B.C.), also know as Cato the Elder, wrote the first history of Rome. He wrote about "flat round of dough dressed with olive oil, herbs, and honey baked on stones." 1st Century B.C. In "The Aeneid" written by Virgil (70-19 B.C.), it describes the legendary origin of the Roman nation, describing cakes or circles of bread: "Beneath a shady tree, the hero sprad his table on the turf, with cakes of bread; And, with his chiefs, on forest fruits he fed. They sate; and (not without the god's command). Their homely far dispatch'd, the hungry band invade their trenchers next, and soon devour to mend the scenty meal, their cakes of flour...See, we devour the plates on which we fed." 1st Century A.D. Our knowledge of Roman cookery derives mainly from the excavations at Pompeii and from the great cookery book of Marcus Gavius Apicius called "De Re Coquinaria." Apicius was a culinary expert and from his writings, he provided us with information on ancient Roman cuisine. It is recorded that so great was Apicius' love of food that he poisoned himself for fear of dying of hunger when his finances fell into disarray. Apicius' book also contains recipes which involve putting a variety of ingredients on a base of bread (a hollowed-out loaf). The recipe uses chicken meat, pine kernels, cheese, garlic, mint, pepper, and oil (all ingredients of the contemporary pizza). The recipe concludes the instruction "insuper nive, et inferes" which means "cool in snow and serve!" 79 A.D. - In the ashes after Mount Versuvius erupted and smothered Pompeii on August 24, 79 A.D., evidence was found of a flat flour cake that was baked and widely eaten at that time in Pompeii and nearby Neopolis, The Greek colony that became Naples. Evidence was also found in Pompeii of shops, complete with marble slabs and other tools of the trade, which resemble the conventional pizzeria. The Museo Nazionale at Naples exhibits a statue from Pompeii which because of its stance is called I pizzaiolo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levendi2000 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The pizza timeline. Ancient Greeks ate a flat, baked bread with assorted toppings called plankuntos. This flatbread may have been a derivative of something Babylonians ate in earlier centuries. While originally thought to be poisonous, Spaniards who had been to Mexico and Peru introduced the tomato to Italy in the 16th century. http://www.me-n-eds.ca/aboutza/ ela parta re will... pizza was started in greece and altered by many countries before it reached italy.. just like your chicks, they have also been altered by men of various countries before they settle down with an italian guy... i know this for my self. p.s - i wouldnt be to proud if your gf could compare the average size of greek organs to yours.. next time save the humiliation and keep it to yourself. but hey well done in the world cup.
