Fun:Cheese
Cheese describes any food product which is created through combination of acid and milk. In most cases, the acid comes from enzymes which process some of the milk; in others, an acid like lemon juice is added to the milk.
Most kinds of cheese are delicious, but not all are: Casu marzu is made with live fly larvae (maggots of the species Piophila casei). That's hella gross. In any case, the plain blue mouldy kind is just fine and fights back with exhilarating determination.
Poets (with the notable exception of James McIntyre) have been curiously silent on this vital subject.

Mites are responsible for making two types of cheese, milbenkäse[2] and mimolette[3]. Milbenkäse made with the mite Tyrolichus casei and mimolette is made with the mite Acarus siro. A film about cheese mites, coincidentally named Cheese Mites, made in 1903, was likely the first film banned in the United Kingdom[4] due to the perceived gross-out factor.
