much as italian food is awesome
it is always the very last type i would choose for going out, because you just get so used to it.

i would always pick something middle eastern or greek, i love houmous and yoghurt/shallot dips and haloumi and vegetables and charcoal grilled fish and rice.... the greek near me - where berk has been too! - does this spicy feta cheese chunky dip that would make anyone cream themselves.

Anyone? Even someone who doesn't particularly care for Feta?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 7 Nov 2011, 10:12, Reply)

if there is anyone who doesn't care for feta
then i wouldn't care for them, and so their opinion would be not worth the screen it was typed on.

I've always found it a little too greasy tasting for my liking
And yes, I'm aware that takeaways, etc are all greasy, but I don't expect my cheese to be.

It's a bit of a shame really, a veggie friend of mine made quite a nice spaghetti dish with it, but the taste was just so cloying I couldn't finish it
It needed some lemon juice or something, just to lighten the taste a little.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 7 Nov 2011, 10:50, Reply)

so basically
your friend bothered to cook for you, and you threw it back in her face.

you callous human being.

Not at all, I thoroughly enjoyed it, where I could
But by the end of it, the taste was just a bit too strong. She admitted that many found this to be the case, but that she as she liked it, she was a bit wary about making any changes.

It was a very simple dish, simply spaghetti, with stirred in feta, black pepper, halved cherry tomatoes and garlic.

That's a shame
as I regard it as one of the shittest cheeses. It's even worse than edam.

Well, I wouldn't rate any cheese that's made backwards.

oh monty no!
no no no, feta is amazing. esp when warm. i like the waitrose feta and caramelised onion pizza... or the fire and stone one, which is cubes of warm, gooey, tangy feta drizzled with pesto...

As do I, within reason.
I went on a tour of classical sites in Greece during my 6th form and was fed those feta samosa things every fucking day, and was put off for life by this experience.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 7 Nov 2011, 10:59, Reply)

understandable
i can't bear breakfast for the same reason - 3 weeks of massive breakfasts and then a long car ride in the states means that i can very seldom stomach anything before about 12pm!

There is a place near work called Meze Meze which does a haloomi wrap (or falaffle, or chicken'n'spicy turkish sausage) wraps with taboooleh and houmas.... £3.90, freshly toasted, AMAZING tasting flat bread.
Well nice, it's my latest 'thing'. And they do a small pot of couscous with really nice flavouring stuff.

Today I'm having left over home-assembled pizza.

But try not to judge her, it's good to bring a little experience to a relationship and god knows you have precious little to bring, so she has to make up for both of you.
