Anyone on PF ever tried Polish fried cheese? it's not bad and is enjoyed esp. by those who like herring, brined cucumbers and hunter's sausage as bite-downs (zagrycha).
But just as some Anglos are turned off by the thought of deliberately souring milk (which to them has gone off and should be dumped), so too this type of cheese is not likely to appeal to them. White curd cheese (pot cheese, farmer cheese, pressed cottage cheese) that has started to turn yellow and slimy (there's even a Polish word for this: zgliwieć!) is simply fried, heavily seasoned at eaten like a spread on bread. Some like it so much they actually set fresh cheese aside to "zgliwieć". Plenty of vodka is recommended to wash it down. SMACZNEGO!
