Rubbish, it has the same name in Arabic.

And the fact that you just add an "i" at the end of everything you wish was yours makes it pretty obvious, and really is a no brainer.

Even if it started here, it probably came with your ever changing conquerers, again making it not yours.

You were unable to answer my simple questions as to how a bunch of Ottoman soldiers could have invented a cheese while ignoring the local one.

I am surprised the 'Greek' invaders brought no chees with them!!! I wonder why? Not even Feta

Sparrow-brains is trying to derail the issue as per usual with bollocks!

By your own admission:

If the two names are Halloumi and Halloum, then "Hellim" doesn't figure into the story at all!

So, the contest is between "Halloumi" and "Halloum" and so far no Arab has come along to deny that the name belongs to Cyprus!

Its Halloumi and Hallüm or Hellim.

Get any Arab to say Hellim and I assure you, with their dialect, you will get Hallüm

So tell me, how any of these actually comes from Hallumi ?

You are the odd one out, how can you not see this?

I never said anything about inventing it.

I said many things got carried around along with the Ottoman presence.

Why would they be stupid enough to carry around perishable goods when there was fresh beautiful cheese already produced here?

You don’t carry around milk products!

You carry around cattle and the knowledge, not milk products.

And you are the only one who is suggesting that the Hallumi got here before they did.

I think it was the Arabs. I just cannot see incompetent Cypriots inventing anything tbh

Dude, are you seriously claiming that during the thousands of years of slavery, you actually found the time to invent stuff?

Sure! One of the greatest Cypriot inventions is the fine art of OUSTING fools!

Define "ousting"

Thousands of years of slavery, the only reason you got independence was because the Ottomans gave it to you, and the only reason you got rid of the Ottomans was because they left, and the empire collapsed.

Thats hardly clever GR, you have not done anything, just been very lucky.

I remind you of…

1. The ousting of Ottoman power and Ottomans (some 10,000) from the island in 1923.

2. The ousting of British control as a result of the EOKA movement in 1955-59.

3. The ousting of “Turkish Cypriots” as a result of 1960, 63, 67 squabbles.

4. The ousting of “Turkish Cypriots” from the occupied territory which continues today!
