How would u seperate it from Turkish Cuisine ?


There is not a mainland Greece and there is not a West Turkey's cousine.
Thhee is only a Mikrasiatiki (Minor Asia) cousin, created by Greeks in the region before 1922. This is the reason of similarities. Both copied same cousin

Actually the traditional Greek cuisine is VERY light, almost spartan. It's the modern cooking habits of Greeks that are "heavy", since they fry lots of stuff...

If you considern modern years after 1930 then this what i am also saying.Tsatsiki is much more light in Turkey than the Greek one, Imam birty or what ever it called is also much more light.

The problem of Turks is that they do not know how to produce good wine

I think we give different meanings to the word "heavy". To me heavy food is the food that is either unhealthy or hard to digest (or both). Tzatziki is neither. The Greek cuisine is a variant of the mediterranean cuisinie and therefore healthy
