Goddammit. Where do I get it? 
I'm not shure where you would get it. We get it a specialty foods store like this place: http://www.marketbasketrockport.com/. You should find some.SkaredShtles said:Goddammit. Where do I get it?
Goddammit. How do you prepare it for grilling?
I just sliced it, and slapped it on the old grill. I found this website with other ideas: http://www.halloumicheese.com/SkaredShtles said:Goddammit. How do you prepare it for grilling?

I have "the barbeque bible" and it has a recipe for grilled provolone in it. i'm not sure how well this would work, but it says that provolone will stand up to grilling. i'm goig to have to bring some home from work and try it out.
ROCKLAND-
what does halloumi cheese taste like?
I don't really have the "cheese words" to do it justice, but ..laura said:
It reminded me of cheese curd, in that it's texture was sort of rubbery without being chewy. A little salty like cheese curd as well. The outside when grilled browns a little and gets crispy. I don't know if this helps, but I shure like the stuff!
I have a hard time thinking provolone will grill ok. maybe if you cut it really thick and don't leave it on the grill too long...?
halloumi is goats milk cheese I think..
it's also DAMM expensive. least 'round these parts. like $7.00 a pop expensive...
get the grill HOT, slap the cheese on, when browned, eat. we cut it into one inch squares and skewwer it.
it's salty and cheese curdish like. but tastey.

How much is a "pop"? If it's a pound, that's not too bad for good cheese........http://www.halloumicheese.com/
that's not the brand we get, that stuff looks like maybe a higher quality.
I don't think it's a pound, the size we get. it comes pre packaged.....
