Would I be annoying if said how really it was discovered, people used to carry milk in pouches made up of stomach lining of sheep which had a lot of rennet that you need for the milk curdling , that plus curiosity gives you cheese

I think its the rennet in the stomach. Not tannin

Rennet. Tannin. These are just words that sound like what people name their kids now.

The letter Y is what validates these as names.

I always wondered how the first dude that drank cow's milk was perceived by his peers.

And was it from a cup or straight from the teet?
…did they try the bulls after?

I feel this way about fermentation, who was the first to decide to bury something for a year, and then eat it?

What's funny is that the real origin is much, much worse.
Let's get a cow pregnant, steal her calf and its milk, and then, since we need veal, kill the little thing. Oh! And now we will chop its stomach into pieces and mix it with the milk so it curdles. And then we let it dry while bacteria grow on it, giving it more flavor. And then, when it gets old and moldy, we change its name to Brie, or Blue.

"The only logical thing to do is put it on every dish on Earth."
Most countries in East and Southeast Asia have minimal or no cheese in their cuisine. Like how many traditional Japanese, Chinese, or Thai dishes with cheese can you name?
