--- Quote from: HeavyP on 11 Oct 2013, 14:08 ---Oh, it's absolutely fascinating - I imagine it had to have been a series of accidents or the laziest people on earth who figured out cheese.
"What IS that?"
"Oh man, that milk has gone BAD."
"Throw it in a bucket with those beef scraps and we'll toss it later."
*days pass*
"You haven't thrown that out yet? It's solidifying!"
"Look, just pour the liquid down that drain and I'll take care of it later."
*weeks pass*
"Dude, for real?!? That crap is still in the bucket!"
"Fuck it, go give it to Bob. He'll eat anything."
And thus, cheese was born.
And I'm not arguing the yummy part, either, cheese is AMAZING. But, if you take a step back and look at it, sometimes between "reasonable starting material" and "tasty finished product" there are several stages of "what the FUCK?!?"

No kidding. But then, a lot of what we now know to be amazing is, bluntly, hella freaky on the face of it. I mean who was the first guy to pull up a lobster and, instead of freaking out at all the spines and claws and waving antennae, said "you know what, I'm gonna eat that."

Given my general voraciousness towards food, both "Bob" and the lobster guy might have been either my descendants or pre-incarnations.

Actually, as I understand it cheese making was discovered in the Middle East. Travellers on long trips would take with them drinks in water skins, often made of animal stomachs. Some people discovered that, you put goats milk or what have you in one of those bags, travel all day in the heat with the agitation and rennet in the stomach skin bag and instead of milk you had cottage cheese. From there they refined the procedure and spread it.

Troub from Wizard of Id once sang a song about how the bravest man in history was the first to eat an oyster raw.

I think it was George Carlin who wondered on stage about the first person to eat a tomato. "They're all larval inside!"
