Dairy

I am as particular about names of cheeses as I am about names of alcohols. (Don't get me started on martinis or champagne.) As such, this list has been carefully screened to separate generic terms—even those with distinctly regional names—from the more specific Protected Designation of Origin foodstuffs. That's why you'll find American cheese (a broad and open term) but not not feta (very specific). That latter cheese—as much as I love it—is listed here as the sadly generic 'salad cheese'. As feta, technically, can only be made not just in a very specific way but in a very specific place (mainland Greece and Lesbos) we cannot have it here. No Greece in Midian, no feta. I know, it's a rather pedantic pet-peeve, but I'm the one typing the initial equipment articles up. ——Golgotha
