I took the idea by the member 'Textbook' in the poll about Italian Vs Mexican cuisine. As maybe a few already know, I am from Greece. What you do not know is that because my wife is from Turkey, I have spend the last 10-12 years between these two countries, and the last 1.5 year I'm living in Turkey permanently. So, as you can easily understand I have tried both cuisines, have eaten numberless meals, have tried also many weird dishes, and so on... So, I would like to see what is your opinion on that subject. Turkish or Greek cuisine? I will vote for Greek, not because I am from there, but because I believe is more healthy, has many more famous dishes, and much more optıons. I also like the taste more, but that depends on each one's likings... ------------- If anybody wants please visit: http://www.gfreedomathina.blogspot.com/ This is my Blog mostly about Rock music, but also a few other things as well.

I don't feel like I know enough about Turkish food to make an educated vote, but from what I have tried they are both very good. I have a little Turkish coffee ibrik that has brought me great joy.

I lived in Germany for three years and ate a lot of Turkish fast food (doener kebabs mainly). On that basis alone the Turks win. ------------- http://www.heavymeta.net" rel="nofollow - Meta's Official Website |

So your mother is coming from Crete eh? (Most probably at least). Maybe the best food in whole Greece!

Not really. She was born here in Argentina. My grandfather was the one that came from Greece. But he was born near the port of Piraeus.

Ah ok. I said that because 90% of the surnames that has the suffix 'akis' in the end are coming from Crete. I guess your grandfather belongs to the other 10%...  ------------- If anybody wants please visit: http://www.gfreedomathina.blogspot.com/ This is my Blog mostly about Rock music, but also a few other things as well.

Didn't know that. Perhaps his father or some of his ancestors was born there.

I voted Greek because I haven't had enough Turkish to really judge. (That's one of those cuisines that I have to travel an hour north for, since I live in an area that's not as ethnically diverse.) The town I'm from has a Grecian Festival every August that I try to go to every year. I have a nice souvlaki dinner and take home a bunch of pastry. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L.

Haven't had enough Greek to really tell (only had it once). Never had Turkish, don't even know where to get it around here...though I would like to try it.

I've had both, we have a few Greek restaurants in the Atlanta area and Istanbul Cafe is really close to home. I have yet to find a cuisine I don't like. The Atlanta area has matured a lot since the '70's in the variety of restaurants specializing in various international cuisines. You can get just about anything somewhere.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Greek is some of my favourite food in the world. Gyros, Lamb Chops, Greek Salad, all delicious. I fortunately have a great, authentic Greek cuisine in my area that makes really great food and has a really nice interior. A little pricey, but worth it.

| Greek salad, is a rough country salad of juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, sliced red onion, green pepper, crumbly feta cheese and plump kalamata olives. Greek salad can be served as a side dish or as a light meal with some crusty bread. |

I was just in Columbus recently, and had lunch one day at a place near the OSU campus called Pera. Basically it's the Turkish version of Chipotle - you can get gyro meat, sauteed lamb or chicken in a wrap or bowl with whatever condiments you want. It's a concept I wish would take off, as there's only the one location. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L.
