Now, a new transcription of the earliest-known English book on cheese is available to read online for the first time–nauseating details and all. The University of Leeds acquired the 112-page manuscript, bound in velum– animal skin used to hold together books and significant documents. The book also includes discussion about when cheese should be eaten. “Cheese doth presse downe the meate to the botome of the stomake.”Another claim includes a warning that consuming a dog’s milk can cause premature birth. You can also listen to a feature on the cheese book on BBC Radio 4’s Food Programme via BBC Sounds.
