caribbean lab it was one of the first street foods sold by pepper pot women and was once a symbol of
the city much like the philly cheesesteak is now in canned form the soup was quite a popular item

staple cougar gold was a kind of canned cheese made by a creamery affiliated with washington
state university this unusual cheese would look better on a gourmet charcuterie platter than
next to a can of sprayable cheese in the 1940s a professor at washington state university responded
to a government request to develop cheeses that could be shipped overseas to troops the only way
to safely preserve cheese for shipping before cougar gold was to dip it in multiple layers of
wax this method was prone to breaking resulting in spoiled cheese because germs thrive in live
foods like cheese and yogurt it was very hard to find a solution cougar gold was born as a result
its cheese had a particular bacterium culture that minimized the quantity of carbon dioxide
in the can keeping it from spoiling and preventing germs from thriving game changer the end product
is a crumbly cheese with a creamy milky sweetness and a hint of bitterness despite its revolutionary
process this cheese hasn't taken off and may be difficult to come by anywhere outside of
