Name two cultures that historically dominated the Balkan and Middle East region and specify how this affected food products
Greece dominated or greatly influenced its Balkan and Middle Eastern neighbors in ancient times, and, in turn, it was conquered and ruled by the Turkish Ottoman Empire for four centuries in the modern era. These hundreds of years of Greek and Turkish hegemony facilitated the spread of products, especially foods, throughout the region and stretched cultural influence to both the southern states of the former Soviet Union and to North Africa.
The cooking of Greece and Turkey has evolved through an extensive exchange of ingredients and preparation techniques. Both cuisines feature more meat (especially grilled), fish and seafood, cheese, butter, and olive oil than in the fare of neighboring Middle Eastern countries. Both the Greeks and Turks prefer using flatware to fingers when eating.
