Greek cuisine — 1910s, Asia Minor refugees
Decide the order of Greek cuisine before the pan is hot. “Asia Minor refugees” in 1910s names that order, and 34 is heat, salt, or time. Do not treat a restaurant photo’s gloss as a quantity. Heat is not the only sharp taste; acid and ferment do equal work.
Greek cuisine sits at spice 34 in this atlas. Horiatiki and Souvlaki show the range better than a single heat number. Horiatiki plus one regional plate — not only the export icon. Athens, Thessaloniki and Heraklion do not cook the same dinner. Regional stubbornness is the cuisine, not a footnote.
The home pantry around Meze and the labour behind Souvlaki rarely fit a takeaway box. Are restaurant versions "authentic"? Restaurant Greek cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not. Ελληνική κουζίνα is the local name used in this atlas beside Greek cuisine.
Greek cuisine is organised around feta / yogurt / wine and bread / pita. Horiatiki and Souvlaki are the plates most diners meet first. Street and home forms differ. The export icon is real; the pantry behind feta / yogurt / wine is what makes it a system. Greek cuisine is organised by feta / yogurt / wine and bread / pita.
34 belongs to “Asia Minor refugees” in 1910s. Greek cuisine is not a sentence about taste until that measure is there.1910s
