The eternal battle between good and evil right and wrong

[absolutelyvile]

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 think they are quite different. For an obvious reason, feta is Greek, romano is Italian. I think they have a distinct taste, odor and consistency as well.

But I like both!

Wait...isn't Romano a lettuce? Oh wait that’s Romaine hehe, silly me.

I say don't convict Romano! Feta obviously set it up.

Oh, so many marvelous differences . . starting with the flavor. Feta is sharp, romano is slightly sweet. Both rock my world, but I wouldn't put feta on spaghetti.

I've avoided cheese for a couple years now, but if memory serves, feta is greek and romano is from rome. Rome and Greece aren't the same thing at all, even if their gods are.
Obviously I'm a couple days late on this one, but doesn't feta crumble and romano grate? And I think romano is aged for a few months longer than feta and feta is a soft cheese and romano is hard. But then, they are both traditionally non-cow cheeses. My mom is a cheese person.

Oh, and PS, the fact that you got a zillion people to respond to something about CHEESE makes you super hardcore.

feta: greek. Soft and crumbly.
romano: italian. Hard and dusty.

But are good. But they are very different. Except the source.
