On her birthdays, my sister has the tradition of finding a Greek restaurant that serves flaming saganaki, which is a dish made from one of numerous Greek cheeses. In Greece, they melt a slab of cheese in a small saucepan and serve it with fresh lemon juice and pita bread. In the United States, they started flaming it tableside with some sort of alcohol before squeezing on the lemon juice. The place we went to yesterday did a fine flaming job, and there was plenty of spent alcohol and lemon juice to sop up with the pita bread. Saganaki is one of our favorite Greek appetizers.
