GR, it's an invention of Arabs...

Stale milk leading to cheese was “discovered” thousands of years ago before the birth of Christ, by pretty much everyone who had goats or sheep!

The discussion is about Haloumi/Hellim, whateever you want to call it flea brain.

The notion that Cypriots, who have a millenniums-old history of farming and livestock keeping, needed to import cheese making is laughable!

Had Greek Cypriots ever had time or free will to invent something under the oppressive rule of their masters? They were born as serfs, died as serfs by working hard for their masters... imho...

In your haste to prove the ridiculous this thread has turned comical!

They were working hard doing what exactly if not crop growing and animal rearing?

Cheese didn’t need to be invented… it’s a natural phenomenon of milk curdled by bacteria!

You won't find any rocket science in cheese making! Even people in Africa were making cheese 5-10 thousand years ago!

Discovered and developed in Asia; traveled through the world... you still can't get it... Greek Cypriots made the Halloumi they were taught by Asian "invaders"...

The exact time of the appearance of cheese is unknown. However, cheese has its earliest record dating back to the ancient Sumerians circa de 3500BC. It is believed to have been in wider use in Asia which then migrated to Europe.

Anyway, I’m getting bored of this stupid thread but one thing is for sure…

Don’t even think about suggesting that Ottomans (pirates/plunderers) had anything to teach Cypriots (farmers/crop growers) about cheese making because it’s DAFT!

Take a look around at how much GCs accomplish NOW, despite the worst atrocity which has ever befallen Cyprus in 2,000 years. BTW --- Cyprus' history is rather older than even that! 10,000 years. And periods of self-rule have been longer than under oppression.

What a revelation Oracle.

I hope you do not fall foul of Piratis and flea brain.. So you admit that 1571 was not that bad after all. I wish people would make up their minds.

Today is the continuation of the worst atrocity which has befallen Cyprus in 2000 years. Yes, it started 1570 - 1.

It makes as much sense as Cypriots claiming to have taught Ottomans about the use of gunpowder!

"Did you try Shiraz wine in Oz?"

Oh no! You are not falling for that misnomer!!!

The grape is called Syrah, it is native to southeastern France and the Ozzies called it Shiraz because they could not deal with the silent "H" of Syrah. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the city of Shiraz in Persia, famous for its carpets.

Many great French wines contain Syrah either alone or blended with other, also French, varieties. Syrah is the mainstay of Cote du Rhone wines. New world copies are no match for the original.

"Thousands of years of slavery, "

An interesting snippet of Turkish education slipping through. You count the Hellenistic period and the Byzantine period as slavery? So why do you define us as GREEK Cypriots?

Oh yeah? Why don't you make Camambert then?

Its a "natural process" isnt it?

Go on make some Parmesan!

So technically these brainless serfs should be able to make ALL cheese.

That shoul bring an end to the "native people" rubbish.

About time someone admitted they are nothing but Byzantine leftovers

Still proves my point, wine not being a 'traditional' beverage but imported by those who wish to.............etc, etc.
