is gyros the best greek food 971

written from (represented by sound in Name cannot say all about the origins, plus the modern Turkish language is a result of linguistic engineering. Mongols do various yoghurt sauces, but none of it is close to tzatziki. The closest I've seen it outside Greece and the middle east is India, though their version is a lot thinner. I think they even add liquid to the yoghurt and blend it. Frankly, I don't know what its origin is, but if it is mongolian, it's a heavily modified version of anything in existence in Central Asia. Those are much more heavily seasoned and both texture and taste is different.

Greekified something I don't know, but based on ingredients and from what I've seen in Central Asia, I can't believe it's mongolian. No doubt today's Turks make it, but where they got it from is another story.

For example, Turkish coffee is known as Turkish coffee thoughout the middle east. Even a sizable number of Greeks will order a "tourkiko kafe" (Happy now?). We do know though that Turks got it from the Ethiopians

heartland of Greeks. That's funny. It's well known that every nationality thinks they are the best, but I did not know Turks believed they are the originators of mankind. Many people have tried to claim the Greeks, the ancient ones in particular. Someone here even suggested that Ancient Greeks used to be nordic, an idiotic theory that racist theorists promote to support their agendas. No explanation is given just that the Greek and Roman civilizations were Aryan (Nordic), and not Mediterranean. Based on DNA alone, Turkey only consists of 20% Turanids (original Turks) and 25% Irano-Afghans (Kurds). The rest are Dinarised Meditteraneans or Mediterraneans originating from Greek colonists. Could explain this urge to be European at any measure ;-) Greece has 65% Aegean (Minoans, Aecheans), 20% Apine (Dorians), 10% Dinaric (related to Dorians) and 5% nordic.
