Whipped feta spreads are standard fare on the meze tables of Northern Greece, as well as in Athens. Feta becomes pungent and peppery as you mash it. This is an excellent spread for bread and crackers, but it can also be turned into an impressive buffet dish piped or spooned decoratively into prebaked Athens fillo cups.
