@Gkyldz52@ESPERAN_@TasteAtlas Quantity doesn't mean anything.The name is Persian.Greeks/Romans/Byzantines made ground-meat patties. Recipes change over centuries but this doesn't erase the past. Most of modern-turkey cities were Greek for millennias so it makes sense for certain recipes to be claimed now
@Gkyldz52@ESPERAN_@TasteAtlas First, the name is Persian ‘kūfta’ from the 10th century. Second, Ancient Greeks and Romans used ground meat scraps mixed with herbs, onions, and bread to make patties. Later, Byzantine urban cooking continued this as minced meat was everyday food in Constantinople markets.
