Oh. I hadn't realized that Queso Fresca might not be that common. The 
HEB groceries here, which don't cater specifically to the Hispanics, 
have carried this for a long time. I guess I'll have to keep my eyes 
open for recipes using fresh cheese. If the concensus in this thread 
ends up being that that is a good choice for fresh cheese.

(Then again, lamb appears to be running about $10/pound here. And there 
are usually only one or two packages available.  So some things you can 
get, and some you can't, depending upon your location)
