Haloumi Fries anyone ??

[Dave7]

I have never tried but but notice that Aldi are going to start selling them from next Friday..........at £1.99 per bag they're apparently less than half the cost of any other store that sells them.

I will be trying some. I think you heat them up then eat them with a dip.
Not sure if then can be eaten as part of a main meal.

Any thoughts?

Haloumi is delicious.

Now I want to go and but some, but the corner shop sells if for £3.50 a pack and that would be extravagent...

What's the difference between halloumi fries and fried halloumi?

Halloumi is great though.

A bit rubbery for me....

Halloumi is revolting.... polystyrene masquerading as cheese.

Heresy! Freak! I am not sure I can continue to fraternise with one in possession of such deviant views...

Edit**
Rather obvious I would have thought.
One is haloumi thats been fried and the other is fried haloumi .
But seriously I imagine haloumi fries are cut like chips.
**just remembered that last time we went for a pub meal with my daughter (who is vegetarian) she ordered fried haloumi & chips as an alternative to fish & chips.

I find them both rubbery *inserts false teeth* and lubberly.

I've heard good things about this version of 'vegetarian f&c' (with the halloumi battered and deep fried) but never yet tried it. One day...

tastes like bacon,

Does it? It's so many years (best part of 40?) since I've eaten bacon I don't really remember. Although I did really like bacon and I do really like halloumi.

Halloumi on the BBQ - one of the joys of summer
Halloumi in a frying pan - winter substitute

Squeak!

 

[User10119]

Well, I eat bacon, and I do think halloumi tastes a bit like it, yes.

Both very salty of course. I'm a sucker for high salt foods. Oh, sod it. I'm going to have to go and add a pack or two to the online shop now

Mmmm..... falafel and halloumi flatbread with Arabic salad, jalapenos, chilli sauce and mint sauce from the Arabic takeaway near work. I make sure I have one of those for lunch at least once a week. When I was cycling long distances at weekends I used to be able to scoff a large, at the moment I can barely manage a medium. They are hellatasty.

I guess this give a whole new meaning to the dish "cheesy chips"
