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.

One slice is one too many for me!

Yes I'd but two blocks

A bit tight but houmous is quite good for protein too so depends on overall size of the meal.

I'd expect half a pack, but would WANT a whole pack. I bloody love halloumi 😃

Very tight, I'd have bought two blocks, possibly three.

I do a tomato stew dish that's layered with halloumi on top. I use 2 full packs between 3 of us.

Mmmm...that sounds delicious. Would you mind sharing the recipe 🤔

Is this the middle class version of the fish finger question?

Half a pack amount of slices depends on thickness

Yes I do half a pack per adult which is three thick slices or four thin slices.

One pack is 8 servings!

8!

Was it a massive Mumsnet salad?

OMG, please share the recipe!

I’d do 2 packs in this situation.

We share a pack between 3 people, I think is fine especially with houmous etc.

Half a pack seems quite a lot to me.

We also do half a pack each. I could easily eat a whole pack though if I let myself...

Agreed! Always has to be an odd number!

Yes 30g is serving size for cheese.

We share a pack between 3 here, so 2-3 slices each.

Absolute nonsense!

4-5 slices. 4 minimum. I'm off to raid the fridge now for some.. 😋

For the halloumi lovers...this recipe is so nice. It's a four person recipe and we do end up eating most of the halloumi at one sitting if I'm honest. Would recommend

I work in a restaurant, you get 3 slices here, we slice once pack into 5 slices.

I'd say 2-3 slices per adult, considering you've also got bread, several dips, olives and salad.

Yeah halloumi is so bad for this, why is why i never ever make it the main part of the meal. It's just too high in calories, salt and fat for it to be the main star because really you'd want half to three quarters pp.

I've made halloumi meals for ex partners who felt entitled to a whole pack and were actually disgruntled at having to "share". They were genuinely upset, and would have happily had it all knowing it left me with none!

I love it, but I'd rather have 2-3 slices with some chicken and not feel like a fat fuck afterwards.

I put on 2 stone in a year being greedy with paneer, which is very similar to halloumi.
