Ross will demonstrate eating a whole donut in one go
Hey guys. I'm Ross and I'm Bek!
And today we're in Athens, Greece and we're about
to take you into the city and show you our favorite Greek sweets
And coffees!
oh yeah, some delicious coffee too!
So, we're going to jump on this train and take you with us now!
Rich, creamy Greek yogurt with walnuts and honey on top. We used to eat this
back home in Australia but to be in Greece eating it is just a dream and
they keep it simple they just drizzle some honey and we asked for some walnuts
on ours. Oohhh it's just oozing delicious
It's just so rich. So we've had this for breakfast a fair few times here but
you can also have this as a dessert oh yeah look at that
Mmm. That is so yummy!
Alright, we are having Loukoumades (Lukomades) which is traditional Greek donut ball!
and they are absolutely delicious!
We have two different types today, we've got the traditional
which is honey with cinnamon and it comes with nuts and ice cream as well
we also have the gold medal, which is not a traditional option but here you can actually
cater whatever your taste is for dessert.
You can pick and choose which ever toppings you like
this is one that they recommend as a good combination and you have chocolate
praline with pistachios and also an ice cream that has cookies and praline as well
traditional! Yummy!!

Our favourite part of the day! Coffee break!
And we have an Ibrik coffee
which is a traditional Greek coffee that they well cook they they
prepare in the stand and it's a really cool little process there it looks
really awesome so I'm gonna pour that and Bek got the Fredo which is an
espresso with the frothy foamy part of the milk and a serve cold on ice this is
so popular all the locals walk around with this is their coffee of choice
so thanks gonna enjoy that one I'm going to show you my Ibrik which I love
I have an Ibrik every day in the morning it's delicious because it's
unfiltered coffee a bit different to the normal coffee are used to it is similar
to a Turkish coffee but it's just roasted differently and I love a little
sand thing that's going on here it's pretty cool
that is really intense really strong if you need a caffeine hit Ibrik is your coffee!
Happy BOP!
Okay we've got three traditional Greek pastries we've just done a bit of a
bakery raid, that's the way to do it guys that is the way to do it I can't wait to
get into the Baklava, that's the iconic Greek pastry and well apparently
Kataifi, put some comments down below, is a really popular
dessert as well and then they said get the long one with the custard so we've
got all three and yeah let's tuck in and tell everyone what we're tasting all
right baklava there were a couple of different varieties but we went with the
butter one today. Oh it's packed full of nuts lots of nuts and that's syrup on
the outside the honey or whatever they do on that outside I don't even really
want to know how they make it all I know is it tastes good on the way in it's so
sweet we have had a few of these over the month this place was our favorite
it's actually just in the middle of Monastiraki square
baklava 10 out of 10! Ross eats too fast for me! I'm a bit too quick! I'm ready for
the next one! Bek is going to have something afterwards
next up, Kataifi, all right Bek get your fingers on the Kataifi!
You can see little pistachios on there we haven't had this one but yeah it's
really really popular
hmm I don't really know how to describe It's not as rich as the back liver
but it's got these sort of thin noodles or some sort of Greek thin noodles on
the outside which are just really cool and on the inside is kind of got them in
there too this is really cool it's still quite sweet but yeah the two different
kinds of nuts I'm not sure that is on the inside. I'm inhaling these!
Love sweets love sweets all right the log the Greek custard log is what
are we gonna call it and Bek is gonna tuck in first and I'll have whatever is
left we'll see we'll see! Note sure this is finger food but we're giving it a go!
It's like a really crispy pastry but still has the sort of syrupy coating!
oh I have a feeling this could be delicious
the custards not as oozy as I thought it would be which is probably a good thing
given its you know like quite syrupy on the outside Greek sweets we love them
right so now we have three different traditional. I did a weird thing with my hands!
I'm Bek (LOL)
I'm Ross and I'm Bek!
Fumbles...
so I would have an Ibrik every day I love it because....
