Another milk product which is brought to mind is cheese. I find cheese to be very similar to butter in many ways. You add it to bread and suddenly you have made one half of a sandwich, which is another something I will have to go into one day. I used to just eat cheese, but now I doubt I would do such a thing, as I could think of many better ways to use it. I could add it to a sandwich, I could mix it into eggs, I could sprinkle it on pasta or I could put it on a cracker. All of these things make use of cheese, but similarly to butter, they don't rely on it. There are some things which rely heavily on cheese, such as mac and cheese, cheeseburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, but for the most part adding cheese is merely to bring the dish up a tier in the world of food.
Something else I've noticed about cheese is that when melted, it is somehow much more appealing. I have never noticed a difference in taste, but I cannot think of a dish where I would not prefer the cheese melted. Though I suppose most things are better heated. Seeing that delicious browned hue that food takes on when it has been perfectly heated. Mmm... hold on just one second.
I just had to grill up a cheese sandwich. Delicious. But back to cheese, I once again have to wonder who in the world decided it would be a good idea. I thank the man, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what made him go through such a complex series of steps to create the deliciousness that is cheese.
Before I go, I would like to point out that not all of these entries will be so food-based... I think...
