The eternal battle between good and evil right and wrong

Matt and I have had a disagreement and I need your input.

Please comment and tell me if you think that feta and romano are similar cheeses. Feel free to elaborate.

I object! I said feta and romano shared similar cheese characteristics, not that, holistically, they are similar types of cheese.

Your original statement, to which I objected, was that feta and romano were similar cheses. I'll reword the question.

I object to your objectionable objection.

Also, the level of support evinced below is hardly as overwhelming as you made it sound on the phone. Two focus on the distinction between goat and cow cheese, which, had the question been properly phrased to reflect my commentary in respect of the characteristics of the cheeses, would be, as it should be, of no moment.

I think that historically they are similar cheeses. Think about the facts here, people.

they are different cheeses..
feta is sheeps milk cheese and i believe romano is cow..

i could be wrong about the romano

True Romano is supposed to be Goat or Sheep's milk... but all we get here is Cow's

I don't think they are. Isn't feta from goats and romano from cows?

They most certainly are not similar. Feta is much wetter while romano has more of a parmesean like consistancy.

Feta is much wetter

What the hell kinda feta've you been eating?

Re: I'm Greek, I know these things! zvezda March 2 2006, 14:50:01 UTC

I think they are eating the feta kind.... compared to romano, it is definitely much wetter!

I agree with both of you. Matt's gone crazy. Or blind.

Gotta go with the chick on this one. I can't imagine confusing the two.

Feta comes packed in brine, the Romano I get is dry.

Romano is hard... Feta is soft. Try grating some Feta some time.

Feta is way more fatty than Romano.

Romano is aged longer than Feta.

Intresting trivia... Romano is (of course) Italian... Feta cheese is originaly Greek... but the NAME Feta is Itallian! "fetta" is the italian word for "slice"

Your points are similar to my own, and I applaud the manner in which you've laid them out.
