[food] Cheese!

Most delicious thing I've come across in a long time:

Slice haloumi cheese approx 5 mm thick (half a pencil width thick... I don't
have my metric to imperial convertor)), and pan fry in a light oil. Once its
golden brown on both sides, remove from pan and sprinkle with lime (or
lemon) juice, cracked pepper and sea salt to taste.

To *die* for, and so simple! Perfect with a glass of red.

Never heard of that kind of cheese but it sure sounds good.

it is a local cheese from the Greek isles if I am correct they have it with
all the meals
it is favored by the British and the Germans not usually by Americans due to
it can be salty plus not too many Americans like sheep's milk cheese due to
the flavor of rennent that is used in the process. Usually turns Americans
stomachs when they find out what is in it.
it is a white cheese made with goat and sheep's milk the variety I had
before was grilled with mint added. It went great on the tomatoes
sandwiches that the tour guide served us at a person's home who made the
cheese

I remember it when we spent some time over there it was near Easter. Some
interesting dish can be served it is really good with grilled cheese
sandwiches when you add chives and chopped mint to it.

Help me out Yowie here I had a sweet pastry called flauno or flaouna
something like that very distinct sweet flavor

My DW and kids about lost it when they found out what was in it

Apprantly its a Cyrpriot cheese (ie, from Cyprus) and made from goat or
sheep milk. But th eone I ate was Australian-made and made out of cow's
milk.

Guess its juat a style of cheese that doesn't melt when heated.

Personally give me a good old new York style extra sharp cheddar with wheat
crackers a piece of tomato a little oregano oil and chives all on top
warmed in the oven till the cheese just starts to melt

Not MINE - I LIKE strong cheese! (Trader Joe's has a goat-milk
Gouda from time to time that's wonderful.) Thanks. I'll check TJ's
next time I go there - they carry a lot of imported cheeses (at far
less than you'd pay in "specialty" markets in the U.S.).

I will never understand why there's no Trader Joe's in Boulder. It
seems like the perfect demographic.
