[Sca-cooks] Period Greek Recipes

[otsisto]

I have found modern store bought pitas to be flatbread. I have found that if
it was in pocket form it will say pocket pitas on the label.

First, pita, while now associated with the Eastern Mediterranean
primarily Muslim countries, actually has a Greek name, which was pide
(two syllables), which was borrowed by the Ottomans in the 15th
century. It was not "pocket bread" as modern pita is, it was just
flat bread, so i don't use it at SCA events. I purchase other Middle
Eastern flat breads that are actually flat, since i'm not a bread
baker.
