Cheese Halva
Turkish: Peynir Helvasi
Cheese, a palate-pleaser for all seasons. From a humble breakfast to the most sumptuous feast, cheese and its delights never fail to grace the table. And it was discovered purely by accident..
Fromage to the French, queso to the Spanish, kase to the Germans, sir to the Russians and Bosnians, penir to the Iranians, paneer to the Indians, cebn or cubn to the Arabs, tiri to the Greeks and agrimsik, sogut, bislak or irimcik to the ancient Turks, cheese today continues to be a staple food item as it has been since time immemorial. The history of cheese goes back so far that nothing is known for certain about how or when it was first produced. There are only conjectures based on assumptions.
