How many slices of halloumi?

[BlackOrangeFrog]

If you were served grilled halloumi as part of a main meal (it being the main protein) how many slices would you serve and adult?

So like, halloumi, salad and wraps.

I'm talking the standard size packets (220-250g) , all sliced to around half a cm thick.

4

Half a pack

Half a pack per adult

3-4 depending on thickness, quality of it and what the rest of the meal consists of.

Half a pack / 3-4 slices

This and if you briefly panfried it I would love you forever.

Yeah four slices, pan fried in a bit of olive oil and then some lemon in it yum

We often have halloumi wraps and between 4 of us I do 2 packs so half a pack each.

It's quite calorific so I try and limit myself to half a pack. Could easily eat a whole one.

I share a pack with dh, he will eat a bit more than me. It is very calorific so don’t have it as much as I’d like.

I think half a pack is a good serving but I’m a greedy cow and can demolish a whole one. I wouldn’t expect to be served a whole though! I reserve that for when I’m in my own and it’s about 11pm 🙈😂

For aesthetic purposes, odd numbers look better on a plate than even!

4 good slices

Half a pack for guests, if cooking it for myself I have a whole pack though.

So it's a bit tight to share a pack between 3 adults and a nearly 4 year old?

We had flatbreads, dips like hummus and tarama, big leafy salad, olives, and 2-3 slices of halloumi each.

One pack for 4 people?? Are you having a laugh 🤭

3 slices.

1 pack between 2 if it was the main part of the meal. 1 pack between 3 if there was other stuff to stretch out the food.

Well, if it's with loads of other stuff as OP describes, as part of something akin to meze, then you'd have less. I had lunch with a friend today- she pan-fried a whole pack of halloumi between the 2 of us, but there were also falafels and houmous, so we didn't finish the halloumi.

Half a pack but there was a thread on this ages ago which said one slice makes 2 kebabs so...

AIBU to wonder how a 30g portion is a serving size? http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/3639851-AIBU-to-wonder-how-a-30g-portion-is-a-serving-size

Half a pack - fried until golden. One of our favourites and my youngest DC happily eats half a pack himself.

Yeah that's stingy. Halloumi is the most delicious part of the meal and you should be able to taste it and not have it overpowered by dips.

Just in case you're veggie (halloumi wraps giving that impression maybe) you do know taramasalata is fish eggs, dont you?

More than a bit tight. I would expect 2 packs for that many people. I usually serve it fried with pitta, hummus and fried up tomatoes, peppers and courgettes. 1 pack with the extras covers and dp.
