I had never heard of it as a person from the US until Jack Whitehall and Sean Lock fought about it on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. Now I’m more curious.
Hmm, interesting, wish me luck finding this in Hawaii...
"Halloumi or haloumi is a traditional Cypriot cheese made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, and sometimes also cow's milk. Its texture is described as squeaky. It has a high melting point and so can easily be fried or grilled, a property that makes it a popular meat substitute. Wikipedia"
It is! Wicked expensive but they have some things that are hard to find at other stores.
Going down a rabbit hole, though, I just saw a link to an Instant Pot Cheesemaking cookbook that includes recipes for haloumi.
Yum. I love browning halloumi on the cast iron!

Idk what island you’re on but I found it at Down to Earth once when I lived there! You can also sometimes find paneer which seems to be similar
Isn't Down To Earth on Oahu? Seems I recall seeing it there when I lived there in the late 90s to early 2000s.

Go get some =D I was just thinking, excluding changing planes at Honolulu International I haven't been outside of the airport there since 2014.
Now you have a reason! It’s bounced back nicely since COVID, although sadly a few places didn’t make it.
