In the premiere episode of Soul Food, a new series on MUNCHIES that explores the incestuous relationship between religion and food, British ex-pat Dawn O’Porter crashes a Greek Orthodox Easter festival, braids her own tsoureki, throws down in a traditional game of egg knocking, and falls in love with the delectable flavors of sacrificial lamb - all in the pursuit of culinary and religious discovery.

I'm a Palestinian Greek Orthodox myself, and all these traditions are part of my childhood and my adulthood as well: the lamb, the eggs (even though we play that game on Easter Sunday and with so many colorful eggs - not just red), the sweets... etc. I love this video, brings back so many memories.
“She destroy my egg” that Greek dude is hilarious.
You don't eat NO meat??? that's ok I'll make Lamb.. LOL... I love Greek food!!
Gosh, she's so much better than that "comedian" from the Kosher Episode...

Dawn is awesome, remember seeing her on the BBC back in the day. It's really nice to see her online, great job picking her up Munchies!
I am Greek and i don't even like lamb :\ These potatoes are delicious though... Also, you will never understand how good virgin olive oil and Feta taste like, until you come in Greece. And by the way, the eggs are supposed to be red. Really red :P

An excellent introduction to Greek food and Orthodoxy at the same time.
Tsureki = challah bread Whole lamb ( non smashed bones) = sacrificial Pesah lamb Eggs still in the Jewish Passover plate Greek Orthodox are preserving all the Hebrew traditions of Passover in their Christian orthodox Peshah

As much as I dont embrace my Greek heritage as I should. I have to admit, that Greek Easter was something really special. Almost as good as watching football all day on Thanksgiving or being a kid during Christmas
"They have a lot of food in their religion." A remark reflecting cultural ignorance. The fact is that, like many cultures, They have a lot of religion in their food.

Every kitchen in restaurants, bakery, etc.. there always a Mexican employee working hard. Salute!!
*ALL HAIL THE EGG QUEEN!!*
Tsoureki is not a bread it's a ban! LOL!
The latino labor behind the greek pastry shop is what allows them to afford to import the ingredients necessary to keep the food culture alive: thus Mexican immigration helps preserve other cultures!

this was actually good!

My wife's Portuguese neighbor used to make her an Easter challah bread in the form of a baby doll (Boiled egg in shell for the face.). She told her about the first Easter after WW2 rationing ended, which continued for much longer in parts of western Europe after the armistice than it did in other places, and how the little girls held on to their Easter dolls for that much longer that year, afraid that kind of good food would disappear again.

@@technokokos well its not about 3 or 5 meals per day and it's more about what you are allowed to eat, e.g meat or dairy aren't allowed and you can eat fish only on specific dates. Nevertheless if you really want to get technical and smart assy about it there is a type of feasting that can't be maintained for long that doesn't involve any drinking or eating and some more spiritual behavior that you ought to practice during that fasting ( I'm talking about black fasting )

I always wonder about the Greek culinary. So I will try the lamb and the salad recipes, but I will change the red wine with "non-alcoholic wine". Last week I made Rumanian cooking and I'm glad because it's delicious...tasted the same with the cooking of my Rumanian friend. I hope this time I will also successful in making some Greek cuisines.

It's so delicious when you grill the whole lamb over a charcoal fire while showing the head. On the other hand, certain Asians who eat dogs are called savages by Westerners. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of Greek food.
It's a shame they can't help Greece now hahahahaha
