Grilled or raw with water mellon, salami, freshly baked bread and olives.

Fraid I don't like Anari at all

Bill

Never had halloumi as you have suggested, must try that, cheers Bill - but no thanks to the olives. YUK!

Feta is Greek ................ and best served on salads (or made into that dip)
Halloumi is useful grilled BBqued or au natural in sandwiches ...

Anari is best grated on pastas or if very fresh ... serve with a sprinkling of sugar ...

Better check with admin...................

You actually like anari!?
Is it anari they make Cheesecake with here - as I do not like bought cheesecakes either - I make my own with Philadelphia (full fat too!) Yummy!

I love them both as they are just so tasty and flexible in so many dishes. DELICIOUS!

I do not, however. enjoy the taste of 'anari' Sorry folks!

I thought Feta was Greek.

Correct Deniz, FETA(one t) did indeed originate in Greece. However, I was under the impression that Cyprus now made her own version called FETTA (2 t's!)

As always, open to correction/confirmation.............................

As a hater of salt I must declare Anari, Myzithra in Greece, the best.

Feta is more like salt with some cheese added and halloumi is worth it only when it is fresh, like within the hour of making it, before they smother it with salt. If you try fresh halloumi you will know what I mean.

There is probably a technical reason for the salt in cheeses, which is a pity as some people hate salt.

Halloumi , most definitely the best cheese on planet Cyprus !!
I do love many cheeses , Stilton , brie , gorgonzola , Roquefort , mozzarella , but the king of them all is halloumi , grill it , deep fry it , or just plain with tomato , cucumber and koulouri bread accompanied by a bottle of red , sheer bliss !!

It reminds of a lesson we had at primary school. The subject was trade marks. A firm was manufacturing socks with a logo of a german shepherd dog on it. Another rival also used a similar logo and wad taken to court by the first one. The first one lost his case when the second guy merely said his logo was a 'wolf'. Case dismissed.

I wonder if the case of the two 't's' make a difference? The intent of deceiving is still there. Or is Greece turning a blind eye to the matter?

In hot countries salt is a must. As it was a main diet for peasant workers, you had to have it. Also the salt is a flavour enhancer. like MSG.

Tried bread without salt? Aaargh :wink:
