      Another vote for feta here. While it doesn't seem to melt (you can actually "toast" it under a broiler), it goes well in soup, and adds a nice tang to beef. I discovered it when an organic pizza joint where I worked for a few months had a pizza with a garlic butter sauce, fresh basil, hamburger, and feta on it (instead of mozz). It came out remarkably tasty.



      As for Romano -- I prefer it over parm, myself -- as did my Italian and Sicilian friends back home.


      On a side note, there's a small eatery down this way that makes "diabetic-friendly" (and possibly gluten-free) bread with cheese as its base (most likely almond flour with tons of cheddar).

      Well, yeah. Just as long as you don't lose any arguments.

        Y'all are slowin' down. I can't believe nobody's mentioned this yet.

          I'm 1/4 Greek, 1/4 Irish, and various proportions English, Indian, and Jewish. Try me.
          I have an old acquaintance who describes himself as "Jirish" - he's a 50/50 split Jewish & Irish, so I'm somewhat familiar with where that pairing leads...

            I've been saying that for years.
            Not quite, That is MY saying.

                      Giving the deli guy the benefit of the doubt, he's probably dealing with company policies that look good in the home office and less so at the store level.

                      At a guess, either he's given a maximum order size and loses points for empty space on the shelves (so if something keeps selling out, replaces it with something that will still be on the shelf at inspection), or he has limited space for backstock.
                      That second one has it's own branches, as it could be him losing points for the empty slot or just that he is sick of dealing with people when he runs out. (And remember, the hypothesis is that he CAN'T order more, so the empty slot and frustrated customers are inevitable.

                      I have essentially the second issue at my job, as periodically I get criticism for the amount of space in the back room that is filled with cigars.
                      We sell $3000 in cigars a week, and we get them delivered twice a week, so between the sales shelves and the backstock we need about $4000 in cigars.
                      Fortunately, the person I answer to makes his money as a percentage of profits, so while he wishes the back room be less cluttered he knows that I make him money and lets me be.
