Customisable print The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese

Despite its ubiquity in our diets, cheese has been largely overlooked by the literary world. While poets have waxed poetic on everything from love to nature, the subject of cheese has remained curiously absent from their verses. Perhaps it is the humble origins of this dairy product that have deterred poets from exploring its depths. Or maybe it is simply that cheese is too delicious to be put into words. Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: the poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.
