You know, it's strange. I don't flinch at paying $18 to $20lb. for
several of my favorite cheeses. But there's a little Palestinian
cafe two blocks from my home, with a teeny little deli that has three
kinds of feta for under $8 lb. Cow's milk from Wisconsin, goat milk
from Bulgaria and . . . wait for it . . . triple cream sheep's milk
from Egypt. Also olives in wine. marinated with hot peppers, oil
cured . . . Very nice felafel too!
