Re: Greece celebrates its 200 years of Independence
Speaking of amazing Greek food, I was fortunate enough to have my Greek landlady teach me how to cook a few things. Lemon chicken and potatoes (lemons grew close enough to pick from the balcony) ; Greek salad, which is SO simple, just cukes, tomatoes, onions, feta chunk, olive oil and vinegar and salt and pepper. Here in the US, they add all manner of stuff, I just prefer it the way she made it. Most restaurants did too.

Pistachios and olives are the BEST in the WORLD, imo. And the way I was taught to make spanakopita, was with phyllo leaves( that's how they translated it to me, anyways) feta and egg, and butter brushed on. She skipped the spinach, and we basically just made smaller feta cheese triangles.

I also appreciated the name days. We were always included as guests, and always thrown a party when it was our own name day.

Cheers to the culture, it was a wonderful experience! It was the 80s, but I won't ever forget it!

That's what I'm talking about! nice. The smells of herbs is what I remember most when visiting Greeks homes on name days and stuff, Oregano, dill & basil.

Along with a rich Greek migrant history, Australia welcomed (that's right VivianTzamis, welcomed) Italians too. Without that I'd never have known about Pistachio Gellati. Never Not a reason for Pistachio Gellati.

You didnt welcome Greek migrants
They were just factory fodder
You called us Wogs & made our lives a misery

Re: Greece celebrates its 200 years of Independence
Congrats!


My father was half Sicilian but he loved to take us down to Greektown in Detroit to eat and he had many Greek friends, including a Greek Cypriot that was one of his best friends.

Wonderful people.


Never a more important time to remember the struggle for independence either.

I grew up around Greek migrants and when going to friends houses after school or weekends all us kids were stuffed with great food and treated as part of the family. Australia loves its Greek migrants and vice versa.

200 years independence is something indeed... Who can pin?

Australia never liked their Greek migrants
You treated us like shit
While you kow-towed to the Asians--even tho the Japanese killed & tortured Australian soldiers in WW2
After Alexander the Great--Greeks have never tried to push their religion, language or culture on anyone--unlike the rest of the West
You didnt like us--becos unlike other cultures--we didnt bend over to be accepted
 Quoting: VivianTzamis


What a complete load of bullshit. If you ever had an impression Australia didn't like it's Greek Migrants maybe you misread it and really Aussies just don't like you. Could it be because you have bug up your arse about everything? Like as to what shoes the soldiers wear & how they march? to bastardizing of a good old yiros? Fuck me shazza, how much other stuff you wanna bitch about? Tell ya what, make a thread about all the stuff you have issues with and cluck on to your hearts content. Meanwhile in this thread people can just say happy birthday Greece, smash some plates and drink some ouzo.
 Quoting: blunt man


Shazzas belong to your culture--not ours
Nor do we Greeks need Australians pretending they love Greek migrants/culture
Unlike Greeks--the Anglo culture has know real understanding of Democracy--thats why you always want to shut people up
