In 1955, my parents bought a small diner called The Chicken Nest In Santa Monica, California, from a Greek owner who was retiring and returning back to Greece. He made these honey fritters, along with typical American-style Southern fried chicken, hamburgers, and fountain drinks. He taught my step-father the recipe, but not the name. Because my step-father's surname was Glozer, i, an 8-year-old child, named them Glozer's Golden Globes. They were very popular with the clientele. You got one with each fried chicken dinner. As soon as i saw the thumbnail for this video, i knew they derived from this dish -- and now, thanks to the comments, i know their name in Greek!

You know, I think this "flogged, shaved, and expelled from the guild" punishment for overcharging on prices is an anti-inflationary solution we should look into trying.

Just imagine how much work the tasting history guy 500 years from now is going to have to do to find out how big a frosted mini-wheat is.

What I learned watching this video:<br>- Honey and pepper is an underrated combination<br>- Never be a monk<br>- The messi is the aesthetic Whole Foods is trying to recreate<br>- Price gouging is a tale as old as time<br>- Wine is Byzantine water

Honey fritters , or as we called it today "loukoumades" (λουκουμάδες) , is still one of the most common desserts in Greece to this day

Fun fact: if you lightly toast the Semolina flour before you add it to the Milk it imparts a nice nutty flavor. The Levant region has a similar Sweet called "Halawat Al-Sameed" (translated: Semolina sweet) which involves toasting the Semolina first in 2 table spoons of butter until it is light brown then adding it to a sweet simple syrup and stirring until a porridge like consistency is achieved.

Well, the guild of pork butchers fighting back against members trying to scam people was not the story I thought I’d hear in a honey fritters episode, but it’s pretty interesting that prices were so strictly maintained.
