Lebanese specialties...

...for a little variety and a definite contrast.

Labneh, a soft white cream cheese that is often topped with olive oil.

Shankleesh, an aged cheese, more crumbly in texture and reminiscent of the stinkiest Roquefort you may have ever eaten. LOL. Sometimes served with chopped tomatoes, herbs, and onion.

Either one is usually accompanied by zatre bread, which I loathe personally.

Note: The spelling of these cheeses is more or less a transliteration of Arabic, so...

Best regards,
