You are perfectly describing the mouthfeel of overcooked liver. Liver cooked properly is stunning, especially for how cheap it is.
The liver skewers are called kalamaki which ancient Greeks would take out of kalami (bamboo) that they used to fish with.
Kalamaki means small kalami in which they skewer fish that they catched.
And of course meat (arni katsiki etc) lamb goat etc…
This meal sounds anabolic af
No one can pay me enough to eat liver.
the reason liver is polarizing is because if the animal is unhealthy, the liver will take the brunt of it. so liver can either be really good or basically inedible.
with today's factory farming it's more often the latter, but apparently this was a problem even back then as they specify 'good' liver for the recipe
I don't like liver either
Dont mind the flavour but
It is dry, porus and gritty. Yuck
Yeah liver tastes like congealed blood. Never liked the texture either. This is from a guy who loves bloody rare ribeyes
I have distant family (dead now) that pulled a bus full of people up a hill with his teeth (look up the baillargeon brothers)
IT’S TURKISH FOOD NOT GREEK FOOD
The photo for this video made me so hungry!
On the case of Damoxenos ripping a man in half, it was a famous case. Because him and his opponent just could not get the upper hand – so the judges decided that they would get one shot each, in turn, until someone gave up or was knocked out. Damoxenos got hit once, then it was his turn.
He punched the guy with two fingers extended and punctured his side, then punched again with his fingers formed like a wedge, entering the guts, and sliced his intestines out.
The guy fell down dead, but Damoxenos was disqualified because he hit twice.
So the spectators grabbed the dead body, paraded him down to the nearest drinking spot, and everyone got drunk while the dead guy was in the bar being celebrated as the winner.
The hard tack clack never gets old 😂👏
7:13 And nowadays rusea does not value that peace while games and world still allows them to participate in the olympic games. If not mistaken even nazis stopped all fights when games were going, making rusea worse than nazis.
9:40 an interesting thing to note, is that in central Europe (I know Germany in particular), Gymnasium refers to secondary school (a place for intellectual education), rather than a place for physical exercise – so while gymnasium originally referred to mental and physical exercise, and in modern English, it refers to physical exercise, in other languages it refers instead to mental exercise.
I wonder i this was the same meal they ate in Paris…
Am I the only one who likes the fragrance of asafoetida? 🙂↕️
Milo is a tasty drink and now I learn a formidable enemy
@TastingHistory, Basically, steaks on stakes. 😉
Can someone timestamp the part where he actually cooks or shows the meat? The video is useless.
how are you not even showing the food?
My life is a lie and my day ruined.
Agreed, I don’t like liver either. Cheese and Figs are always good! 😁 thanks again for a great history lesson!!!
Liver sucks…I want to like it, but it just sucks.
Fun fact: the tradition of Olympic sports derived from military training is continued in the modern day by the biathlon event, which originated as an emulation of 19th century European militaries who used soldiers on skis as skirmishers in mountain warfare.
I'm a literature teacher and we read Homer. I'm definitely going to have to make this this year!
Totally barbaric. But I still love you and your posts.
This Milo of Croton fellow sounds suspiciously like Chuck Norris.
Max! The king of transitions and segues!
Dude, please, stop. There is no ancient Greek skewer or souvlaki, there is no such thing.
