Ewe'd love it!

The stuff of sheep or to be more specific, Cypriot sheep, of what am I rambling I hear you mutter, ok, Halloumi, a Cypriot sheep or goat cheese, is what this is about.

Belive me, if you have never tried it it's worth a trip to absolutely anywhere that stocks it, this is the food of the God's, heaven on earth. Ok, yeah, I liked it!


I thought there wern't many cheeses I hadn't partaken of over the years, I 'do' cheese in a big way, for half my life I have had cheese after dinner most days and never let it be said that there are many repeats...my mother is expert at persuading the verynicelady on the local Waitrose deli counter to find new and interesting fare to try.

But Halloumi had evaded my taste buds until yesterday. One of Fletch's stronger points is his ability with all things culinary (this is good, I don't 'do' cooking and he can really cook, like for real) so for my delictation at breakfast time, along with some damn good coffee, there was Halloumi, fried gently with garlic and in fresh muffins.

I have rarely tasted anything so utterly, simply, good!

Cook it as Fletch did and then toss the cubes into a green salad,
