Light food is what I had for dinner. The last days in Germany were hot, so I really enjoy eating crisp greens at the moment. I got to know the cheese that I used for this salad during my studies in Estonia. The four varieties of cheese I could find in my supermaket were not to my taste as all of them were flavoured with dill. When I met a salesclerk who understood my Englisch, I asked her for a cheese without dill and after a short time for consideration she brought me a tetrapack. I was puzzled and thought that she must have misunderstood me but there were those big letters on the package saying "German Cheese". Until now I could not figure out why they call this cheese German in Estonia but after some experiments I found out that it is delicous in salads. When I was back in Germany I found this cheese in a Turkish grocery store with the simple name Creamcheese and without a tetrapack.
