Editing Cheese (section)

==IRL Fluff==
No one really knows where cheese was first made because it literally predates recorded history. While there's no evidence of where cheese first came to be, people think that cheese was possibly born in either Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, or the Sahara. Most people think that humans [[Tzeentch|made cheese by accident]] because we were storing and transporting milk in bags made of cow stomachs at the time. The milk would curdle in these bags, unleashing cheese upon the world. We don't know when it happened, but the earliest possible date of the creation of cheese is 8000 BCE. Coincidentally, this was when sheep were first domesticated. So back then we were eating sheep cheese if cheese was indeed made back then. Bits of ancient, long-spoiled cheese have been discovered in Poland which date back to 7,000 years ago. But wherever it came from, it spread from its place of origin to the rest of the Old World, and also arose independently in the New World. Now cheese is mass-produced in factories, so the usage of cow guts for making cheese is no longer done.

A custom relating to cheese is the cheese board: at social gathering (for example, a tabletop games session) an arrangement of cheeses and crackers can be served as a light snack. Fairly simple to prepare and easy to enjoy, a cheeseboard can liven up game night quite nicely. Just ask ahead if anyone's allergic or lactose intolerant. :)
