“Opa!”
(discuss.tchncs.de)
First time making saganaki. Halloumi cheese pan-fried in ghee, finished with a squeeze of lemon while in the pan.
I go to Greece on hols every other year and I've no idea what you're talking about 😂 What's opa?
Yeah, that's exactly my point, not a thing in Greece 😄
In North American Greek restaurants they have this little show/ceremony thing where during serving a plate of saghanaki they light it on fire (flambé-style) and shout "Opa!". It's meant to look like a traditional Greek thing (no doubt influenced by movies like Zorba the Greek, that movie is responsible for so many cultural inaccuracies).
