Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Grilled cheese? Sure, it's American cheese between two slices of buttered Wonder white, "grilled" in a frying pan, right? Not if you're Heidi from 101 Cookbooks, who grilled cheese, literally.
The cheese is called halloumi and originates from the island of Cyprus. Traditionally made from both goat's and sheep's milk, Heidi's find in San Francisco is all sheep's milk. She grilled the slices of cheese, which unlike regular cheeses, can somehow stand up to very high heats, then used the slices as a base for a green bean salad.

The "Queso Blanco" cheese is excellent for this, I also use it to make saganaki, the greek "flaming cheese" dish which is fried, sometimes with onions, in a heavy skillet,then doused with brandy or other flamable spirits, then put out by squeezing a lemon over all and serving hot with bread.
This cheese can be purch'd at Costco for around 6 bucks in a 32oz package.

We've been grilling/frying cheese (not the sandwhich, but the actual cheese) down here for years. I forget the last block I bought to grill, but it was a nice, garlicy slab of cheese that took heat better than some pieces of turkey I've grilled.
