Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Feta cheese is quite mild usually and has varying degrees of saltiness. I have a HUGE block of Feta I got from Costco a couple of weeks ago, and I've been enjoying it mashed up with about and equal amount of cream cheese, fresh herbs, and black pepper. I use this mixture to stuff mushroom caps or spread on cucumber slices. Black olives are really nice with it. I thinned down some with heavy cream and took it to a family picnic as a dip. My 7-year old nephew absolutely loved it spread on bread. Kirstie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 I love FETA cheese. I accidentally picked up a garlic flavoured one at the supermarket. I thought it was just sensational. There is no nutritional info on the packaging, but I don't care. Every morning I have a 2 egg omellete, some feta, & some anchovies (No, I am not pregnant) I just find the flavours amazing.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Tonya, Loved your omelet idea. Isn't it strange that on this WOE, we become gourmets with exquisite taste? Before I started this, I was happy with the usual burger king, and macaroni and cheese, and oreos. Now it's browsing the deli's for imported ham, and gruyere cheese and feta with greek olives. We have come such a long way.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 , Feta is very very sharp and potent, and salty and kind of dry, but not like parmesan dry, and it goes great crumbled on salads, and tomatoes with olive oil, and it pickes up flavors, like fresh basil and oregano, and is made to be eaten with olives, and mashed in celery. my mouth is watering.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Count me out on the olives - hate them with a passion. Now from the sublime to the ridiculous. I fancied something cool & sweet. So, into a bowl went some cottage cheese mixed with chocolate WPI & some orange sugar free jello ( already set). It really was a strange combination. Last night I had it w/out the chocolate - tasted much better that way. I'm just about to go to bed. It's midnight here. Looking forward to the anchovies & feta again in the morning. It's the best meal of the day for me. Tania in Oz- -- In Atkins_Support_List@y..., Donna Deal <donnatdeal@y...> wrote: > Tonya, > Loved your omelet idea.
