Oh I must make this!! I can imagine the combination of Haloumi, lemon and dill to be just outstanding. Yum! Looks gorgeous too.

Oh, London! I grew up nearby, and used to live there. One of the (many) things I miss most about London is the relatively cheap Halloumi Cheese. It is so expensive in the states!!! I have found that “frying cheese” is similar to halloumi, though without the saltiness. My favourite thing ever is mixed salad greens with olive oil and lemon and halloumi, but eating it with grilled lemon sounds incredible!!!! Have you ever had the veggie burgers at Borough Market, with halloumi inside of it?? Heaven.

Things must have changed because now everywhere in London has air conditioning (except houses). My word, a movie theatre without air conditioning?!?! I’m glad it’s not 2003! But yeah… there is NOWHERE worse than the Tube during a heatwave. It would be cooler in hell.

Ahh, I remember having haloumi when I studied in Jordan. It’s such a great snack when I get a strong craving for salty foods. I’ve found that a lot of cheese in the Middle East resembles it, it melts better but still has that salty bite. It’s really great!

I hadn’t heard of halloumi cheese until I stumbled upon an online recipe for grilled halloumi. I was so intrigued that I went ahead and made a grilled cheese using halloumi, portobella mushrooms and red onions. It was an interesting sandwich that I only somewhat liked. My favorite part was the cheese though. The fact that it doesn’t really melt at high temperatures is awesome.

Oh, this sounds so good! I can almost taste it in my mouth the way you described it. I’ve never had haloumi cheese, but you’ve peeked my interest. Love your story made me laugh, I know exactly what you mean about those hot, sweaty days!
