Plate Smashing

[+ Avalon]

On the recent episode of "Deal or No Deal" the contestant was Greek. His family broke plates during the show. Has anyone ever participated in this custom?

I have.

 

It’s great fun.

 

Of course it helps if you’re on a remote island in Greece and

they’re playing traditional Greek dancing music....and you’re

stuffed from some crazy lamb dish and drunk as a skunk off Ouzo.

Was at a steakhouse (owned by a Greek family) one New Years Eve. At midnight, plates were smashed on the floor. Opa!

Local Greek restaurant used to do it on a regular basis...along with dancing, was fun. Sadly it’s shuttered its doors

Yes. It is quite common not to mention a lot of fun.
