Oh--maybe mint, too?

The feta here is standing in (I'm thinking) for Cotija cheese, which is a really mild Mexican kind, or queso fresca, which is like feta that has not been brined. I have been able to get either of these in most cities I've lived. That said, feta is a different idea, and intriguing, but couldn't it be Greeked up a little, maybe using some thyme, lemon instead of lime juice, and brushing corn with extra virgin olive oil for grilling? Serve it with olives?
