    Wo steht Zypern diesbezüglich?


    Ich habe gerade einen Beitrag von TasteAtlas über griechische und türkische Küche gesehen und mich gefragt, wo Zypern da reinpasst. Türkische Zyprioten haben einzigartige Gerichte, die sich etwas von denen in der Türkei unterscheiden. Inwieweit gilt dies auch für griechische Zyprioten?

      There are special dishes that don’t exist in Greece and vice versa, or they exist but they are variations.

      There is a lot of interplay, however.

      Also this picture does not show even a quarter of Greek cuisine.

      The seafood cuisine of Greece is unique as is the quality of the fish.

      Pretty accurate. Cyprus gets the best of both worlds and then some because of our proximity to other Arabic nations so our cuisine is a blend of all of those which makes it different but somewhat niche since there aren’t many of us to „market“ ourselves abroad as extensively as the Greeks or the Turks. Heck, I recently viewed a post where an American satirical broadcaster didn’t even know where Cyprus was located so I can see why we are not mentioned in almost any „cuisine features“ by TasteAtlas.

      * Loukoumades
      * Koupepia (Dolmades)
      * Kioftedes (keftedakia)
      * Kalo prama (Ravani)
      * Taramas
      * Talatouri (Tzatziki)
      * Melitzanosalata

      I think souvlaki and gyros are fads that came to Cyprus relatively „recently“.

      Our tradition and culture is based on casserole and oven dishes and you see is grill and sweets here and in most tavernas

      Surprisingly, Cypriot cuisine is much more “continental” than Greek cuisine. In this respect, it is closer to Turkish cuisine.

      Loukoumades/Lokma Arabic means bite

      Revani is Farsi means made in oil

      Kokoretsi is a Greek word that comes from sheppard

      Pita/pide = Pitta comes from the Sumerians as a flat bread, as they were the first farming civilisation who literally did flat bread:)

      Any kind of Kebab also comes from the Sumerians, but today’s recipes differ a lot and have become their own thing.

      And döner is Turkish, meaning the same as Gyro, and the term Gyro was first used in the US by a Greek diaspora around the 70ies.

      Personal note: Gyro is best with pork, and Döner is best when made with lamb.

      Dolma is the old Turkic word, the current word is a contemporary word for stuffed rice. Regionally, dolma/dolmades also evolved into their own thing, and sorry, but grape leaf dolma is the culmination of Greek-Turkish culinary traditions.

      Yogurt is Turkish, but Tzatziki/Cacık let me hear the drums ta ta ta ta ta Farsii. Sorry guys;)

      For 350 years Cyprus was Ottoman with Turks in charge. Turkey had an imperial cuisine with many Greeks as servants, cooks, dragomen etc. The Greeks in Cyprus were mainly living on the land and merchants, so the cuisine was simpler but dlicious. Now it is all mixed up with far more in common than different, apart of course from Greeks preferring pork to lamb.

      Cypriot food leans more toward middle eastern than Greek. Although we do share some dishes from Greece.

      Let’s be morally correct, hard to say “turkish cuisine” really reflects the truth as it’s claimed to be. It rather indeed encompasses the traditional and regional foods of peoples of Mikra Asia and such;— they just carry the lasting traditions of surrounding communities claiming to be theirs.
