That's a great site. I just randomly chose one from the list (the name intrigued me). I'd love to try this - guess I need a trip to New York!!

Xanadu
Description:
Old Greek cheese known from then ancient times became quite popular among southern workers in the end of 19th century. Made of feta and kasseri combining the whey of mizithra to create perfect blend. Due to its transient properties this cheese was served only aged beyond 14 months and only in semi-circular molds often dubbed geometric half-moons. Unfortunately this cheese did not catch on in the states. Heavily used by the Union to feed its troops during the Civil War Union troops quickly grew tired of the staple. After defeating the South in this epic battle Union troops forbade the consumption of xanadu cheese in the conquered south. Its production immediately declined and fell out of existence. Only recent discoveries have revealed the recipe used for this concoction. Trendy coffee shops in upstate New York have started a fad of serving xanadu cheese with special Bavarian coffees.
