Culinary(?) ask! Was Greek salad a diaspora thing first or did it somehow start back there? The tomatoes are what's throwing me off here xD
Thanks a bunch for your time haha!
The tomatoes were introduced in Greece in the early 19th century. Peasant Greeks would get a little food with them when they were going to work at the fields. The food was basically all the veggies that were loved and accessible to them, stuff like an onion, a cucumber, a pepper, a few olives. As tomato was becoming more popular in the country, they started taking a tomato too. Those who had it available, they would also get a piece of cheese. They wrapped all these in a towel and ate them raw for lunch during their break from working in the fields.
A cook in Athens in the 1960s turned this habit of the peasant Greeks into a proper table salad dish with the ingredients neatly cut and dressed with olive oil, vinegar and herbs or spices like oregano and capers. The feta cheese became the standard type of cheese used. But this inspiration story for the salad is why it was named "χωριάτικη" (horyátiki) which means "Village / Peasant salad" and it remains the actual name of the salad. It's just because the salad became very popular outside of Greece too that it was then called by foreigners "Greek salad" to be easily distinguishable. But it's actual name in Greece is Peasant / Village Salad.

This map illustrates the state of the Macedonian Kingdom at the time of Philip II's death in 336 BCE, a powerful and unified state in northern Greece, poised to dominate the ancient world. Through military reform, strategic diplomacy, and alliances, Philip expanded Macedon’s territory, securing its hegemony over Greece and preparing the groundwork for his son, Alexander, to launch his conquests...

❁ 6 Romantic Greek Words for Nature and Affection ❁
Please note that the full and/or root words mentioned here, like most Greek words, are still in use since antiquity. As a Greek speaker, I love sharing my interesting language with people like you! ❁

From συν- (prefix “with”) + ζεύγνυμι (to yoke).

To bloom. Lit. Τo flow with flowers.
From άνθος (flower) + ρέω (flow").
3. αξιολάτρευτος (axiolátreftos, adj)
Adorable. Lit. "Worship-worthy"
From ἄξιος (worthy) + λατρεύω (to worship).
4. θρόισμα (thróisma, n)
The root θρόισ- (throís-) is related to a sound, often associated with soft, continuous noises, like the soft rustling of leaves.
From θροΐζω (to rustle, to murmur)
5. κελάρυσμα (kelárisma, n)
It’s used for the sound of flowing or murmuring water, typically a quiet or soothing sound. It can also describe a quiet, melodic sound, like that of a distant song or melody.

Να είμαι δίπλα σου ενώ φτιάχνεις φαί
Να σχολιάζουμε τους γείτονες σαν μικροαστοί
Κι όταν τα πάντα παν' στραβά κι ο κόσμος καταστραφεί
Να 'μαστε ακόμα ζωντανοί σαν να 'πιασε η προσευχή
-ΛΕΞ

"Why do I see so much "ship" art of me and my friend Pisistratus? I'm taken. I mean, he's an amazing friend! But Nausi is an amazing 'girlfriend...there's that word again. 'Girlfriend'. She let me call her my girlfriend."
Telemachus proceeded to kick around and laugh like a 12 year old girl for the next hour
(This is no hate to Tele x Pisistratus, btw. I've made art of that ship myself. This is just in character... but, if anyone wants to make a Pisistratus blog to talk to Tele and Nausi, I won't stop you~ wink wink nudge nudge ;) )
