Haloumi anyone??

[Dave7]

I tried it in a restaurant years ago and didn't enjoy it.
My daughter and family have now moved in and they are veggies.
This morning she did me a fry up with haloumi......to go with egg, vegan sausage, tomato etc.
I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it all, including the haloumi.
Either haloumi has improved or my taste buds have altered.
God forbid I am changing into a veggie

Grilled haloumi is delicious - done on a griddle plate so you get the burnt stripes on it. I remember a lovely Turkish breakfast (in Chester, rather than Turkey) consisting of this with the sujuk sausages, vine leaves, olives etc and it was a real treat which I've recreated at home a few times

would vegans eat cheese or eggs though ?

He said his family are veggie not vegans, so yes.

Halloumi is ok in small amounts, I find it a bit squeaky and salty

I don't like cheese (Gromit!) but really like Haloumi as it doesn't taste like cheese and is squeaky and salty 😀
And Dave I'm fairly sure the definition of a 'veggie' is not = 'eats cheese' 🤣

Google tells me that veggies eat cheese and eggs while vegans don't.

They both eat other foods not 'just' or not cheese... (Gromit)

We love it and it satisfies any salt cravings!

Best in Pitta bread, with salad, mayo & ham IMO.

Halloumi is the food of the gods. It's well worth paying extra and getting " proper " halloumi, made exclusively with sheep and goat milk. A lot of " halloumi " now has cows milk added in various proportion. I have found the good stuff tends to be squeakier.

Q: What does Cypriot cheese say when it looks at itself in the mirror?

A: " Hello Me "

Sorry...

Best grilled with a garlic portobello mushroom in a toasted brioche bun with relish of your choice. Beats all but the very best cowburgers.

I'd agree, except for the brioche bun, they are pap and don't do te halloumi justice. A nice warm pitta or wrap is best.

I BBQd some this summer, wrapped in tin foil with liberal dash of oil. Lovely.

My missus grilled me some with mint and salad on some Italian style bread she picked up. I was very sceptical but it was delicious.

Haloumi is an essential part of my full english meaty breakfast.
