Episode 1: Cheese, The Origin Story

Curds and Why

In which we talk about the inventor of the first cheese. Megan gets grossed out by a "bespoke" cheese and Rebecca says the word coagulate way too many time. This episode pairs best with acid cheeses (ricotta, marscapone, quark and cream cheese), white wines, and the smell of an old book on a hot sunny windless morning. Correction: at one point Rebecca called the whey proteins and casein hairs non-polar. They are in fact both polar. That was a mistake born from saying the word polar too often in the span of five minutes.
