I always thought the first person to eat cheese must have been either desperate or brave or both
It turns out though, that the fermentation made it far, far easier on the stomach for our caveman friends, and that’s how it became so popular and widespread
Cheese was also quite important for military campaigns and the like because it is nutritious and has a long shelf life, which is at least documented for the time of the ancient Romans. So the person who dared to try it first is indeed a historically significant figure - but in my eyes more of a culinary mastermind.
It’s also super calorie dense ona weight to volume ratio
I think it’s possible I’m at least a bit lactose intolerant. I haven’t really looked into it because I know I’m not stopping, so what’s the point? Is life without milk, butter, and cheese even a life worth living? I seriously doubt it. No offense to those living worthless lives who can’t help it!
There’s a whole world of culinary delight waiting for you when you realize that dairy isn’t the only flavor! I became severely lactose intolerant a long time ago. It was sad at first, but after trying a variety of Indian, Chinese, Korean, and other Asian dishes, I found it to be a lot more enjoyable. There’s so much more to life than using mountains of cheese and rivers of gravy to make something taste good.
There’s more to life than whacking off to porn to get off, but damn if it’s not quick, easy, and relatively shame-free. Cheese is much the same way.
They make little pills you take before you eat all that lactose that help you digest it without being miserable. So you can do something of you know you’re lactose intolerant short of giving it up.
Butter and most hard cheeses have very little lactose. If you look at the nutrition information and there’s 0g sugar in a dairy product? That’s lactose free.
I love me some dairy, not lactose intolerant in the least, but I ain’t gon touch cheese. That shit wrecks my gut and tastes more foul than an acidic fart. Turned dairy (cheese, curds, sour cream, yogurt, etc.) just does not work for me for whatever reason.
Sure I might be intolerant, but have you pondered ice cream?
Pretty cool that they were so stubborn they granted us the ability to digest milk
Not perfect, but I love oat milk instead.
You mean like alcohol?
Also Later Europeans and Americans. What’s life without a little cheese, farts, and diarrhea?
