Cheese

Cheese, otherwise known as "queso" in Spanish, is a solid dairy product made from milk using the method of coagulating. There are hundreds of different kinds of cheese worldwide, and the taste and style of the cheese depends on which kind of milk you use (cows, goats, sheep, etc.), what the butterfat content is, the diet of the animal the milk comes from, and much more. Just a few examples of types of cheese are Limburger, Picok, Danbo, Gubbeen, Mozzarella, Swiss, and Cheddar Cheese. To see even more types of cheese, visit this Wikipedia page.

What may surprise you is cheese is a VERY ancient food -- in fact, its origins predate recorded history. However, it has definitely changed over the years. The earliest cheeses are assumed to have been sour and salty.

Cheese has also affected the way we speak. The word "cheesy" is an English slang, used to describe something corny, cheap, or something of poor quality. Also, when you are getting your picture taken, it is not uncommon for the photographer to say "Say cheese!" because the word cheese allows your mouth to be stretched to make it seem like you are smiling.

In conclusion, cheese is awesome.
