Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi, I have a new doctor that is Greek. He wants me to bring him some cheese. I know Feta is a Greek cheese and have found a couple recipes. My question is what is a good herb mix that would make a Greek doctor smile? Does any one have another cheese recipe that is easy to make that would be good for him.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hughlene,Greek oregano! Basil! Opa!! Sorry....got a little carried away at the thought of Greek food.....Greek oregano is a little more difficult to find in American stores, but not that much. This time of year, you should be able to find a small container of it in your local nursery. It's super easy to grow - the predominant flavor/herb in Greek salad dressing. Mexican oregano should never, ever be substituted. They're simply not the same.... Greek oregano grows in the " wild " on the East coast: " It was brought to North America by the colonists and is now naturalized throughout the eastern United States. Most herb lovers agree that Greek oregano is the most flavorful, but until recently, it was used mainly as a medicinal. " http://www.superbherbs.net/Greekoregano.htmFYI, here's a fun site about Greek cheeses. http://www.greece.org/hellas/cheese.htmlBack to Feta - it's traditionally only made with sheep's milk or a combination of sheep/goat with goat milk never exceeding 30%. Nitpicking, I know, but it would never contain herbs. Making it with goat milk and adding herbs would be a very new, American idea. How traditional is your doctor? The Greeks I've known take their feta VERY seriously. Big, big fights over the Greek's right to call it their official cheese, etc.,: http://www.santorini.gr-santorini.com/restaurants/feta.htmI'm protecting you when I say this - if he's VERY traditional - Greek-born, for example, you don't want to find yourself, vulnerable, down the road. " Yes, well " , he might say, " most people, yes, I would have ordered plasma in the IV, but you, I felt maybe corn syrup would be in order.....it is a little less traditional, yes? " If he's American born-raised, ignore what I said but do try to find Greek Oregano.HTH,Sharon, NHOn 5/23/06, Hughlene Dunn < hughlene.dunn@...> wrote: Hi,I have a new doctor that is Greek.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Bless your heart, Hughlene. I was worried my humour backfired, so I was relieved to see your post. Good news he's American-born. You can experiment and impress him with your creativity. I'm such a wanna-be goat-owner, it's pathetic - and I'm enjoying everything about your cheese-making adventure. Please write about what you decided to do. I can enjoy it vicariously.... Sharon, NH Oh Sharon,You are a wealth of knowledge. He was born in America so it might be easier to figure him out.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Thanks Ann, I am glad to know it isn't impossible to raise. A friend said she would bring me a start. Look forward to growing it. Another friend that lost hers last year said it is far superior to our oregano.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi Sharon, I pretty much get all humor as humor unless your cussing me LOL. Then it will depend on how you say it. I am a light hearted person. I hope some day you will be able to have a couple goats. They are so much fun, work but fun. I'll let you know how the cheese goes. Say a little prayer for me cause it is hard to type with your fingers crossed.
