Hello!
Brand new episode where I explore the "bakaliaros" aka bacalao or salt dried cod for you and me, of the Greeks.
Specifically what's the history of the fried battered salt cod and garlic mash dish that is so popular in Greece generally this time of the year, usually on the 25th of March and what's the connection with the Greek War of Independence?
