To feta or not to feta

Sir,
In reference to your article of October 27 under the headline “Sorry Cyprus, no feta for you), nothing is lost.

Remember the long (and continuing) quarrel about that unspeakable Balkan country? Yes, for all red-blooded Hellenes “The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”, FYROM for short?

Well, the unspeakable cheese could become the “Former Cypriot Feta cheese” (FCFC) – no more unwieldy than FYROM – and acceptable to all those autocrats in Brussels who, according to one writer, “mismanage just about everything, from the size of condoms to the shape of bananas”?

Sir
So the Euro-court has put its big fat foot in its mouth again. Wasn’t it bad enough having to have straighter bananas. Now your wonderful cheese has to change it’s name.

Well, how about “Pheta” or “Fetta”?
I expect they would find something wrong with that too.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
