Phew! Yes, aji does seem to want to turn a simple recipe and its ingredients into a political debate. FWIW, debate and argument about political issues and other divisive topics are not allowed on this forum. Please read our forum policy on this matter.

OK, back to the subject of Liptauer Cheese and its origins ..
According to the Encyclopedia of Food ..
Quote:
Liptauer cheese
Definition: [LIHP-tow-er] Hailing from and named after a province in Hungary, Liptauer contains about 45 percent fat and is made from sheep's milk. This soft, fresh cheese has a mild flavor that is commonly seasoned with herbs, onions, garlic and paprika (which turns it red). It's a delicious snack cheese, which, depending on the flavoring, can go nicely with anything from beer to white wine. Though in Hungary the cheese itself is referred to as "Liptauer," those in German-speaking countries use the same word to describe the cheese when mixed with flavorings.

A recipe title is meant to be descriptive, to suggest the food's flavour and ingredients, and/or the style in which it's made. It's not an Official Declaration of Authenticity . If I make Pad Thai from ingredients purchased at my local grocery, that were grown or produced here in my region of Canada .. I'm still eating Pad Thai, despite the fact that the ingredients didn't all come directly from Thailand.
