biftek or don't assume nothing

[Bereta_Eder]

I have some great bifteks for dinner. I suppose in english it is meatballs


and I said, well there are some turkish words in the greek language even after the purge after we MASSACRED the greatest empire on earth.

so probbaly biftek is one.

Let's check it etymologicaly

nope it's not turkish (which probably means it came from arabic)

it is from engliesh beefstake that got transported to turkish and through some minor mishap in history it got transfered to greek

20% of english is greek originated.

congrats you have at least one engliesh word in greek

or for example briki


to make greek coffee you need a briki it is a specialty small baking pot for coffee

and I said well ok yeah maybe briki comes from turkish

it doesn't it comes from persian from farsi

IS ANYTHING TURKISH?


not even turkey

The version I have has a similar texture to yogurt, so it fulfills that particular craving.
