We always rinse the feta chunks after we remove them from the
brine.
Growing up, one of my favorite things mom made was polenta.
We'd give it a drizzle of melted butter, then sprinkle grated
feta on top. Absolutely scrumptious, filling, and easy on the
budget. :)

Happy to say I found some crumbly feta and bought some of that
too! Was good on salad today.

I was watching either America's Test Kitchen or Cook's Country
yesterday, and they had a tasting segment on feta cheese. They
said that the imported sheep's/goat's milk feta is less salty
than the cow's milk variety made in the US, because they allow
some type of bacteria to grow and give it flavor, whereas in the
US, they just add salt.

That's interesting. I am going to keep my eyes open for the
sheep/goat kind.

Me too! I didn't know any of this, even though I love feta. Best
place for it, besides Greek salads, has to be Greek fries. Yum!

Greece's version of poutine?! How are Greek fries different?

I don't think they're actually *Greek*. I've seen a couple of
versions, one topped with a Greek herb salad dressing and
cheese, another with tzatziki sauce

The ones I've had are topped with crumbled feta cheese and some
sort of vinegar-esque oil 'dressing' (I apologize I don't know
what is in it off-hand). I'm starting to see them more places
around Michigan so maybe it's one of those new things that's
starting to spread?

I often buy the French Salakis - I'm not sure if it is the
French equivalent to feta, or a French brand of feta, but it
comes in a flat tub with a removable lid...
Or, cubed, in a jar of oil and herbs [I'm currently on the
not-often-available basil flavoured one]. If my block of cheese
is starting to get a bit 'old, I cube it up and add to oil in a
jar. I think this takes away a bit of the saltiness*? I drop
it straight into a mixed leaf salad, with chopped sun-dried
tomatoes (also in oil), so I just use a lot less salad dressing.
* Which I can then add back with some Greek-style olives. ::) ;D

Oooh Miriam that sounds delicious! When my stockpile of cheese
runs out, I am definitely going to the cheese store to see if I
can find other feta cheese delights. I may put some that I
bought out of the brine and into some infused oil.
