Potted milk?
Clotted cheese?
Plotted cows?
Coddled eggs?
Potted goatherds?
Cheesy farmers?

They also invented potted ham. I think I got some of their first batch from the seventh millenia just last week.

UMMMM, UMMMMM, good.

Interesting!

Seems obvious God made dairy cows so we could have ice cream.

It is for ancient reasons that I periodically go on a lunch diet of bread and cheese. Crusty torn chunks of bread and sharp chedder zapped to room temp in a microwave and crumbled into bites.

It can’t be bad for you, people have been eating it since time immemorial.

What Makes Your Cereal Go Snap, Crackle, and Pop?
Science Daily
December 1, 2006

Rice Krispies -- the breakfast that talks to you -- has been around for nearly 80 years, but scientists have only recently figured out why it makes that noise.

Food scientist Ted Labuza, says there are a few reasons.

"Rice Krispies has sugar in it. It's the sugar that causes it to interact in the different way with the starch, and that makes a big difference," Labuza, who is professor of Food Science and Engineering at University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, tells DBIS. In fact, sugar is the second ingredient in the Krispies. It's much lower on the list in other cereals.

Another reason? Rice Krispies are cooked at such a high temperature, the sugar forms crystals that behave almost like glass. If you crush them, they'll break into pieces.

During the cooking process, each piece of rice expands, and tiny air-filled caves form inside. The Krispies' bubbles are about 20-times bigger than those in puffed rice cereal.

Here's what really happens inside: The Krispie absorbs the milk and the air-filled caves become filled with liquid. Air is then pushed around until the walls shatter and make a noise. And that's what you hear!
