[roll2996]

I've never seen so much bitching on a youtube channel.

Chill out people, it's just eggplant!

[carpetmonk]

smokey? on the range? and sugar? they must have skipped the part where she washed the bits of bitter charred skin mixed in.. thats like leaving eggshell in the omelet.. (what am i saying.. bitter? eggplant? but i guess people work with what they can)

[cokguzel100]

this dish is iraqi dish for sure because iraqi people they dont travel so much and this food my mother used to make it she says in fiftes she is turkish but all iraqi in west of iraq cook this food but they use pure oil not olive oil and alot of fresh carlic on the top of the dish and pure oil will be heated till it smokes then they add on the top of the aubergin and they eated with fresh bread

[gregsmusic1]

Why does every Greek recipe have to turn into a huge discussion about Turkey and Greece and other Balcan countries. ''This is not Greek it is blah blah blah". Just because other countries have it in different versions? So what? This is soooo stupid. The French Coq au vin exists in many other versions in other countries but no one would ever write a stupid comment like "This is not French it is ....." Leave those Greeks alone. Greek Food rocks!!!

[Hannahandmuffin]

@leeloopi well said

[micpisic]

salata de vinete.. tot acasa e mai buna

[esters44]

Entire Greek cuisine is Turkish cuisine that’s cooked by a bad cook

[sixameleon]

@esters44 ur mamas amcuk is turkis. mongolian, came from siberian and wanna talk about couisine

[esters44]

@sixameleon , Hey sixameleon,You are just a looser, what difference does it makes where the Turks come from. The Fact is they kicked you out of there 1000 years ago and STOP complaining and START saving your bankrupt country.

[sixameleon]

@esters44 what diff. it makes? its essential ....like ur name.

kicked out? where out. look at the map.....all the med. is greek.

@esters44

member of the eu yet turko?

[mirone2006]

here in romania is a very popular salad, we even froze the cooked eggplant to have it also in the winter time when the fresh eggplant is not available on the market.

so maybe this recipe is originated from romania so stop fighting for nothing u greeks and turks! :-)

But here we mix the eggplant with a fine chopped onion.and try it with some tomato slices.

and those who don't have problems with weight mix it with 2-3 tablespoons of mayanaise.delicious!

you can also use sunflower oil...

[sk8ingchamp]

so that's how you make that eggplant dip that's served at Greek restaurants!

[aargirhsmil]

she didnt put garlik in it?she never came to greece

[mvsp9701]

really nice try but you forgot to add garlik...

[aposapes]

wrong man is wrong recipe i am from westwrn greece and you are rich and you cant be a cook

[Hinduismglance]

This is how my mom smokes eggplant.

[FLORDORMIDA]

Great tuttorial; Thanks for sharing...........

[TheGuilanvi]

wait wait.. we can actually roast food directly above the stove (the blue fire)??? anybody... answer me...

[ramonadanmark]

we do it also in romania:) only that we chop the eggplant and we mix it with some onions or for those that don't like onions,we mix it with some mayonaisse.

[MrsNutellalover]

That's soooo Turkish....You need to add some garlic in it. You can mix it with garlic and yogurt...It's so delicious too.

[ksenos69]

greek, persian, turkish, lithuanian, germean, ethiopian, what the f****k. cook it! eat!

[Jvergakis]

@ksenos69 u forgot polish

[vnck25]

This is actually a Turkish dish, it is a very popular dish in the Western part of Turkey. This may be the reason that Greeks have it as their. But original one is Turkish.

[trianta3]

and how do u know that isnt the outher way around???:D!!!

[vnck25]

What do you mean ? Well if its from the Eastern part of Turkey the food is more close to Iranian food, and they tend to add milk to most of their food. This is totally a dish fom the Western part of Turkey.

Happy Christmas!

[trianta3]

no i mean maybe the dish is popular on the western part of turkey because they took it from the greeks...we dont know..we can only speculate....

[vnck25]

Now there is nothing for me to answer there, you asked the question and gave the most sensible answer too.

It could surely be like that too.

[keftes1989]

why is the original turkish?you possibly are alive for more than 500 years to say that right?

[vnck25]

Did you alive for more than about 2450 years to say that the Parthenon is actually a Greek design?Tt well could have been constructed by the people at Bechtel corporation, San Francisco, USA, you dumb Greek goat.

When I say Turkish its Turkish thats the final okay. Though it could have been even Polish, but surely not Greek he he he

[keftes1989]

stop being offensive and proving your barbarian origin.being manipulated by stupid army men leads you to that thinking.there are scripts proving Parthenon's origin as well as proving your stupid origin

[vnck25]

No it has been found by a professor at Harvard that the original design of the Parthenon was done by desingers at Bechtel Corporation no dumb Greek can design such a great structure. Coming back to this dish it is orignially Turkish.

[dimalex8]

yeah right, u forgot that michael jackson was at the opening, singing a song with Pericles. Then 50 cent came out and dissed the spartans.

Its true!!! Its as much true as ur theory.

go read a book boy

p.s. this recipe isnt neither greek or turkish, its regional found in western greece and anatolia too long before the mongol-seljuks arrive.

[vnck25]

@dimalex8

You keep your theory to your dumb brain. Before Turks introduced eating eggplants the Greeks were using eggplants to conceive their women ha ha ha!!!!

[dimalex8]

ahahahahahaha ur very funny, is this some kind of turkish humor from the steps of monoglia?

[vnck25]

@dimalex8

Why do you insult Mongolians like that I assume that they are better than Geeks

[dimalex8]

u assume.............

where is the insult towards mongolians? i insult u, not them.

u saw the tree and missed the forest.

[vnck25]

@dimalex8

Its not good to insult a Turk!

It seems Greeks are missing all the goals at FIFA ha ha ha . I suggest the soccer team should cook instead of playing soccer ha ha ha

[dimalex8]

i guess u should have waited for the match to end before writting this comment.

greece - nigeria 2-1, where is turkey? hahahahahaha

[vnck25]

@vnck25

Turkey ? What Turkey I have one in the oven if that what you mean ha ha ha

[BerserkerEos]

i like Moroccain and Frensh Cuisin ^^

[ksenos69]

good for you

[kaseelee]

thats fatning!

[jtso6123]

PLEASE GET RID OF THE BACKGROUND MUSIC.. Its not necessary

[allyne82]

It kinda throws me off too... I think I get distracted too easily though!

[abcdbuterfly]

the original greek melitzanosalata has also garlik.without garlik it is not melitzanosalata.

[madolato]

Pes ta !!!! Cut the crap please! Garlic is an essential ingredient!!! plus the aubergine needs to be barbecued on charcoal!!!

[Docentino]

@abcdbuterfly @abcdbuterfly huh...I'm not Greek and never heard of this "salad" before, but I was thinking the very same thing: Garlic... it seems such an obvious and natural ingredient to compliment this dish. I'd use roasted garlic for this. May also try this with truffle oil - I predict it'll be a quite a treat.

BTW, traditionally, do you serve it warm, room temp or cool it?

Kindest regards ;)

[Kienzan13]

@Docentino

cool it

[FLORDORMIDA]

EXCELENT!

[gasparis]

looks yummy...exharisto! i will try this for my next party.

[bahamiangreek101]
