"Derailed" is a harsh word here, they still talked about Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson at least. It didn't bother me. And I usually dislike off-topicness.

^ He is just living up to his name. And, even if in jest, the only actual attempt at detailing is from The Grumpsta. But what a fantastic derailment!
Yes, I like halloumi. In fact, I love halloumi. It is one of my favourite cheeses, but (of course) I don’t eat it in the same way I eat other cheeses. Halloumi is the steak of cheeses, so the question is, do you like yours rare, medium or well done? Edam is possibly prog cheese, as it is the only cheese to be made backwards. Perhaps the next Wilson & Akerfeldt venture could be Cheese Corrosion. That would be a tasty morsel, indeed! Yum! The Gorgonzola Bites The Raclette That Refused To Melt The possibilities are endless! 🧀🧀🧀 |

I can get behind GFD being retro, not all of it though. That may also be due to the fact SW used different musicians to record GFD......Tony Levin, Nick Beggs, Nic France, Pat Mastelotto for the rhythm section. It just gives songs different flavors and feelings to me.
I remember not liking the album at all on release, God I thought it was so depressing and dark and a downer, I generally have to be in the mood to listen to it. But I do think there is some fantastic writing and production on this record.

I once went into a Swiss cheese hole and got lost. I think I may still be inside one. My posts seem a bit delayed, no doubt to the density of the material it has to travel through.

You’re the one who brought up halloumi. Have you never fried it like a steak? Just as with a steak, you can leave the halloumi in the pan for as little or as long as you like - thus rare, medium or well done. I like my steak (whether meat or cheese) medium. Sometimes medium-rare, depending on exactly what kind of steak. But generally, I would rather if it goes wrong, that it is cooked too long, than cooked too little. I can still eat a steak if it looks cremated, but if it appears to still be able to walk off the plate, it’s not for me. |

Have you not been paying attention? Grumpy brought up halloumi on the previous page, and as he is the OP, the topic is in his hands. Or under his grill, potentially? Grilled halloumi is also nice. But I do prefer to fry it. I love to hear that sizzle! Now sizzle - is that ever a word you associate with SW? Have you ever thought that any PT or SW music is sizzling? I can think of some sizzling prog, but as much as I might like PT and SW, I wouldn’t call any of the music sizzling. Cheesy, perhaps. But not sizzling. Also, derailment is fine, because PT had that song about trains, so going off the rails is kind of keeping on track… |

He's not the OP. Let's get back on topic.

Oh, yes, I see. I guess I assumed he was the OP, since he was the first person to moan about this being off-topic.
And, of course, moaning about it being off topic is what caused it to become off topic. Also, I brought it back on track, but you ignored that. Give me your best sizzling SW moment. Go! |

Honestly, every day is a school day. For some reason I thought SW was a vegan, so I thought Grumpy was just joking about the Halloumi. Thanks for the education, Mr Grumspsta! It is appreciated. I guess that’s my something new for the day. 🤗 |

I've never tried it, but apparently it's a squeaky cheese. Steven should make a concept album about it.

Very informative. Thanks! I've never tried it either. Article says it tastes similar to Mozzarella.

It doesn’t taste like mozzarella to me, but I guess taste can be subjective and individual. I do love halloumi, though. I prefer it hit to cold, bland prefer it fried to grilled, but I’ll eat it however. You can get halloumi “fries” at places like McDonalds and Burger King these days. It used to be a cheese not many knew about, but now it is fairly ubiquitous. I first found out about it when I holidayed in Cyprus. I’d never heard of it before, but it was love at first bite! |

Man, I'd love to go back to Cyprus. I only went there once during my 2018 deployment, but the food there was so good... including some of the best grilled lamb chops I've ever had

I can't believe the thread went off topic because of... cheese. Someone is laughing his arse off.

To be fair, it is still able to be related back to SW, because he is quoted as saying halloumi is his favourite cheese. I have Grumpy to thank for that, as that is something about SW I never knew, and it is a fact that I am likely to now always remember. |
