It is no secret that there are Greek communities established throughout the world, and for the most part, they seem pretty close knit. I live in Australia and I am part of the Greek community here. I noticed that the cuisine tends to change based on the location, maybe because of ingredient availability, maybe because of the food preferences of the general population in the area (maybe because of local Greek restaurants?).
I wonder if any of you have noticed this?
Some observations I have about Australian Greek food:
1. I think we may use more butter than they do in Greece
2. We appear to use more meat
3. Different types of seafood than is available in Greece
4. Seasonality is different here than in Greece
I believe all these things affect the Greek cuisine while here. I am sure there are other factors but I can't think of them right now.
