Making a meal of "appetizers" is not uncommon in Greek meals:- mezze (I
think that's how it is spelled). There is a quite good local Lebanese
restaurant where such a mezze is also a speciality. I remember having a
mezze meal in a Cypriot restaurant in London and, at the next table, a
bunch of guys speaking Greek did the same. The only difference was that
they used Johnny Walker to wash the food down.
