Greek Rocket - anyone heard of it?

Watching a food programme at the moment called My Greek Kitchen and Greek Rocket was mentioned. It looked more like a spinach than a type of rocket.
Anyone heard of it?

Interesting! No I haven't.
Is it like Turkish Rocket, which is a primitive brassica and you can use the leaves cooked like spinach (they are slightly bitter) and the unopened flower buds which are delicious?

Suspect its Turkish Rocket,Bunias Orientalis, but grown slightly to the west /south! Maybe from Cyprus where such differentiation is significant.

If it's the same My Greek Kitchen (Tonia Buxton, I think her name was) that I remember watching years ago, her family's from Cyprus so that would make sense.

I suspect it's just plain rocket which the Americans call arugula and Italians call rucola.

In Greece anything that might be termed Turkish elsewhere is called Greek - like coffee.
It's a still worse to be Turkish than German in Greece.
