    If you ever get a girlfriend who is a health food nut you will have a reason to eat feta over cow milk cheeses.

    If only because it gets her to eat some Greek yogurt.

    I don't have any concerns about that.

    Anyway, it's not because it's not a cow milk cheese. I might like a creamier one better, but what I've tried hasn't impressed me...

    Put some sliced black olives in there. I put blue and sometimes feta and black olives in scrambled eggs. I like a little tabasco sauce on them too sometimes.

    You have to like the combination of sour and salty. I also like salt and vinegar chips. LOL.

    It's pretty good mixed with Greek Yogurt and a bit of oregano and garlic, if you want it creamier.

    Yup, I like things that are sour. My favorite dessert is lemon meringue pie, the lemonier the better and in general I love things that are tart. Sweet and tart or tart and salty. Yum. I actually even had a dog that liked lemons. LOL.

    I love lemon. I have issues with vinegar and vinegary tasting things, like pickles. I have a reason for that. Back when I was in scouts, some of the scouts were preparing a meal and decided to make chicken adobo. For those that don't know, this is supposed to be done with boiling the chicken, adding a little bit of vinegar to the water. They used two gallons of vinegar. Taste-wise, it tasted like straight vinegar. Consistency-wise, you could not tell where the chicken ended and the bone began. That soured me on vinegar ever since...

    LOL, that's a totally American view. Only one of the English cheeses are included (and there are over 700 varieties of British cheese,) like Stilton (probably the most famous,) Wensleydale, Gloucester, Caboc, Sage Derby, Lancashire, Cheshire, Caerphilly, Red Dragon, Lincolnshire Poacher, Red Leicester, Dunlop, etc.

    Then there's Brie, and Limburger, and Milbenkäse from Belgium and Germany, and Italian cheeses like Gorgonzola and Provolone and Mozzarella, and famous Swiss cheeses like Gruyere, Berner Alpkäse, and Tilsit. And Edam and Graskaas from Holland.

    None of those are on the list, and like very few people outside the USA will have even heard of Monterey Jack.

    Well, that is the only American cheese that made the list. Some of those very few Americans have heard of...

    In fact, a number of the cheeses you mentioned are far more well known to Americans...
