Whoever discovered cheese:
- Damn, my milk spoiled
- I’ll leave it out a bit longer maybe it fixes itself
- It’s better now!
There’s an old Arab folk tale that cheese came from a merchant packing the milk under a pile of goods on a pack animal, and only remembering it after the end of a long journey!
If it was packed in a skin made from a calf’s stomach this could work
Sheep stomach is how the tale goes, if memory serves!
It’s because he didn’t know this piece of wisdom
More like random forest fire makes animals crispy. Caveman smells something weird. Finds an already cooked meal. It tastes better than their regular food. Starts burning everything and tasting it.
They probably encountered cooked meat after a forest fire and tried to replicate it. A pig that died hiding in a burning log, cooked low and slow for hours, is basically barbecue.
