Turks will cry endlessly about Greek yogurt, even though Greeks were making yogurt long before Turks were even a thing, yet they see no problem calling this type of coffee with clear Syrian/Yemeni origins ''turkish'' LOL.
Turkish Coffee has just been officially registered by the EU as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed product, meaning it’s now recognized as part of Europe’s protected culinary heritage.
A small reminder to our Greek friends: It’s still 🇹🇷 Turkish coffee. ☕
@Nomas_821 The thing is, nomads had oxygala too it’s just fermented milk, but they keep barking, completely blind to the fact that two things can be true at once. Rεtαrdεd creatures.
@krlntpd@aledeniz It really depends on the quality of the coffee and the brewing time. I’ve heard that the Turkish version is stronger and more bitter than ours. Personally, I like it from very specific Greek coffee roasteries/brands, ideally freshly ground and with mastic. 😇
@Mahadasha999 WHAT?!
"Being baptized with yogurt" was a very old insult in 🇬🇷,& it had to do with poor manners.When it comes to A. Greek refugees,it was used against them as a way to question their faith and ☦️ identity bc they had lived among non-Christians. It was a deep religious insult.
@Abaz86920 It’s called oxygala in Greek, and the original Greek word is still used in some Greek dialects, although I agree it should really be the only word we use. The Romans also knew about yoghurt. Funnily enough, an Armenian popularized the turkish word in the West. Stop crying.
