Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
Scientists conducting a chemical analysis on fragments from 34 pottery sieves discovered
in Poland have found the earliest solid evidence of cheese making - 7,500 years ago

A professor of nutrition and food sciences speculates that people either ate the cheese soon
after it was made or buried it in pots for months when food was scarce.

After being buried in the ground for months, he said, the cheeses would have been non-perishable
"bomb-proof" and pretty pungent. "They probably would not be the first choice for a lot of people
today," he said. "But I would still love to try it."

Interesting one Joy.

It reminds me of the diarist Samuel Pepys who buried cheese in his garden during the Great Fire of London in 1666.

I think my reaction to trying 7500 year old cheese would be a lot like the woman in the video. But if that's all I had to eat I'd manage.

And 7,501 years ago they discovered the need to make wine to go with that cheese. Thus the start of the wine business was started.

Actually, I did know today's factoid Joy! Last night my boyfriend, who's a history and anthropology fan, emailed me and told me about the cheese story in Poland. I, too, find it interesting!

I'll be serving cheese and wine at my party this evening. The tradition continues!
