feta is good u savage xp

Feta is always bad

1/4 of me wants to fight you for this, the other 3/4 are of British descent so ....

Feta is always bad

But lots of good goats cheeses besides tbh

not all fetas are made of goat milk ... some are sheep's milk, some are mixes of goat and sheep. if you don't like goat feta try sheep feta.

i grew up eating feta the way white people eat butter (toast topping of choice, breakfast lunch and dinner) so hearing you say that is like ... hearing someone say rice or beans are bad. it's a staple!

i have bought/tried feta in the usa and it is always so salty

feta in canada is not so salty

these things are true across a bunch of brands so i just don't understand it

here we choose between greek & bulgarian & turkish fetas ("fetas"), they are a little rawer tasting than the Chicago feta I ate while in the usa

but if you take away the brine it's not that different from like queso fresco, so we've used it a lot in mexican cooking here

My old persian roommate turned me onto eating feta and grapes mashed into a pita. Delicious.

I love when chevre gets aged and all goopey.

feta and grapes mashed into a pita.

so ready for this

feta is one my favorite cheeses, i grew up eating chunks of feta with alphonso olives between crusty bread for breakfast, lunch, a quick dinner, a late night snack

there is a spectrum though

don't buy pre-packaged crumbled dry feta in a plastic container

go to a good market and buy a block floating in brine

lots of varieties of feta exist, bulgarian is my favorite, is a little more creamy and less chalky than others

not my thing but i've seen people eat feta with watermelon as well

yea my sister-in-law made a watermelon salad w/ feta and those salty cured moroccan olives and it was so good

no joke the more cheese tastes like vomit the better i like it so feta is p good imo

feta
watermelon
mint

SO GOOD

Feta is a binary actually

Tips fetora, bows

Yeah the block of feta in brine is key because you can actually spread it a little

What if I’ve only had precrumbled supermarket feta? And I really like it? Shouldn’t I just keep eating that so I can never know any better?

yep. Prolly.

a slice of feta on a lamb burger with red onion seems pretty simple but it's always extremely good.

Controp? I hate lamb. I mean OK I haven't eaten meat in over 20 years but when I did I hated lamb so much.

I thought I hated lamb because of the lanolin grease smell, and we never had it at home. HOWEVER a decent doner kebab (not the elephant leg thing) is a thing of joy, and kofte are maybe even better.

lamb is ok but not that great and def not worth the extra time/expense of finding and buying it over other meats

it's a restaurant meat

i love meat but lamb is not something i really enjoy

my family never had lamb, at all, and having it as an adult at curry places and when my college friend brought lamburgers was revelatory

not into lamb either

go to a good market and buy a block floating in brine

yes!!!

disgusting savagery

Americans don’t really eat lamb (I cannot remember ever having any before moving to London - my mom loathes lamb, mutton, or any meat that tastes gamey).

Lamb is a great meat, it's a bit of a local delicacy tho

Well roasted leg of lamb is prob my fave meal

Mutton and lamb cooked badly definitely has a very unpleasant heaviness tho

bold take: lamb is good not bad

I didn’t understand lamb-hate til I tried American lamb - it’s fucking gross and tastes like halfway between mutton and hogget

New Zealand lamb is delicious- it’s not gamey at all, doesn’t smell weird and is very mild in flavor. Probs the only food I could eat every day for the rest of my life and never get sick of it.

i grew up in CT eating lamb regularly maybe monthly. remember neighbor buddy coming over and first just "ugh, what is that smell and why would you eat it?" and later just "ugh." i like lamb, hate mint jelly tho, made me a fam outlier.

I rarely crave lamb or goat, but can find them readily at Middle Eastern places hereabouts as well as fancy places.

quality is pretty variable i guess. i would like to have a butterflied leg of lamb grilled even now tbh.

I need to try goat again. My coworker has been having goat curry, kind of envious

I love all meat. But I basically keep pescatarian at home and only eat meat when I travel or someone is cooking for me. I figure it's a good trade off. People need to eat less meat in general.

i only eat lamb at indian restaurants and it is always good. had some last week. lamb curry. so good.

xp now we're just saying sensible opinions

there's a place near me that makes super spicy nine alarm goat curry (from some very hot and humid part of india, madras or bengal maybe?) that is amazing

I'd be all about that

the lamb curry I used to get was at an indonesian place, kind of want to track down another

Dry goat curry, yummm.

the goat dish from a really great indian place near me is very good but oddly bony both times i had it. my only goat experiences.

The only things for hoggety muttony American lamb are:

-mix a few tablespoons of wine vinegar with mashed anchovy, garlic, olive oil. salt and fucktons of rosemary, let it rest for ages with the rub before slow-roasting.

-follow recipe for curry goat.

-mince the fuck out of it and make kofte by adding onions/breadcrumbs/egg/parsley/dill/green chillis/garlic.

*has idea for kofte meatloaf, runs away*

Controversial opinion- I really really love foie gras and the only people who should complain about it, should be vegans. I ate horse, wild boar and venison last month. I only feel a little bad even though I think meat in general is terrible for you.

But I wouldn't keep pescetarians in the house meself tbh. Filthy creatures.

People who complain about needing meat everyday or they start to feel "off" or "weak" are full of shit.

Feta is always bad

yes, sharp bones too!

ha you've been there great place!

it's a perfect storm of being a bony animal to begin with + not much demand for goat so butchers tend to use all the cuts, even the bony ones
