Feta HAS to be from Greece now (thanks loads, Common Market geniuses) which
means that I can no longer get the vastly superior and cheaper Yugoslavian
feta that I've used for years.

The Greek response to this has been a
drastic lowering of the quality of their exported feta, since they no
longer have to compete with anyone.

That should be a boon to the folks that make feta-style
cheese elsewhere who label it with another name. Lowered
competition from the name-brand item.

Sorry to follow here, but this is a bit of a stretch. There are plenty
of quality fetas around from Greece. I mentioned a local source here in
San Diego and quality feta is probably available anywhere there is a
Greek market or a cheese specialty shop, just not in the supermarkets.

The reason the quality cannot afford to drop off significantly is
because those other cheeses that now have to be sold under a different
name or as "Feta-style" that maintain high quality would take sales from
the inferior product and eventually, the Greek producers would have
nothing to show for their international markets.

Such is the nature of the marketplace.

Wow,
Just reading your description and I want some NOW ( and it's only nine
in the moring here)

There's a mag I've been reading thats having a recipe competition- why
not enter it you could win a holiday in The South of France if your
recipe gets through to the final. And there are prizes evry month too.
I've already mentioned it in the group, but here's the deatils again.
http://www.atkinsmonthly.com You'll need to download the mag for the
competition i think. All the best

Look up Leberknodel (liver dumpling). I can't remember if it has a lot

stuff occasionally, and I could absolutely NOT stand regular basic fried
liver even with lots of onions.

Yeah, it uses stale rolls.

I couldn't find a copy of my old recipe, but of course it had to have
some kind of binder in it. I'm trying to picture dropping spoonfuls of
plain ground liver into boiling broth, and it's not pleasant.

Hmmm. My recipe did not include spleen. You may doubt anything else, but
believe this: I'd have remembered "spleen".

I probably need to learn to make my own Liverwurst.
I love that stuff! I'll have to google some recipes.

<smiles> I'm sure!
It was just one of the first recipes I googled.....

A common binder for low carb is crushed pork rinds.
Might work for this but I'm not sure!

This is a family recipe in my clan. I think the main
influence is the assorted veggies and/or a bit of barley
in the soup that effects the flavor. On the other hand
I do occasionally like regular basic fried liver even
with lots of onions.

Scrambled egg or egg white also works as a binder but
it doesn't quite work the same way. Rather than dropping
into simmering broth you'd probably want to drop in
roundly boiled water to parboil it for a minute to
stiffen the egg and then transfer to the broth.

Hmmm, liver and feta cheese together on the subject line,
and Om mentioned making leberwurst. Adding chunks of
stuff into the sausage as a last step is a traditional
variation for sausages. I wonder how a little feta would
go.

Actually, it should go well!
Liver is a very mild meat and feta is rich.

I'll bet they would compliment each other!

The local Oyster bar????? ;-D

Just kidding.....

Mutter, mutter, common language, mutter... : )

They're large meatballs, made with ground beef and liver, simmered in what I
would call an onion gravy. Rather nice - and the only way I can get my kids
to eat liver.

Just FYI, a [censored] in UK english is a small bundle of wood : )

And where I come from, anyone who does not qualify to be called a [censored]
and refers to someone else as a [censored] is being extremely rude.

Sounds good! Funny, I never thought of mixing it with ground beef. Good
idea!

<hee!> I know. I was just teasing ya'. I've picked up a lot of
"british-ese" from the newsgroups, and over time, from reading harlequin
romances...... The junk food of the literary world, but I usually read
the historical ones as they are more interesting and somewhat
educational! LOTS of the better ones are written by British women.

Cheers! :-)

Think Mexican style Albongidas soup but skip the tomotoes.
Very much like German style lebergnoedel soup.

I could just make a spicy meatball soup with cabbage or choy.

Never heard of a cigarette being called a [censored] here in England (south) but
often called a [censored].
