Just watch me use Stilton instead of feta cheese in my Greek salads, and observe the horrified faces of the philhellenic purists at the table.
The real crime is putting lettuce in a Greek salad

I dined with a group of Americans at a Greek restaurant in Athens once and every one of them ordered a Greek salad as their meal. They were all sitting with the enormous meant-to-be-communally-shared salad bowl in front of each of them. The Greek waiters never even blinked but I bet there was a bit of banter about it back in the kitchen.
