where did the word cottage cheese come from
Cottage cheese The first known use of the term "cottage cheese" dates back to 1831.[1] It is believed to have originated because the simple cheese was usually made in cottages from any milk left over after making butter.[citation needed]
Government cheese Government cheese is a commodity cheese that was controlled by the U.S federal government from the time World War II ended and into the early 1980s. Government cheese was created to maintain the price of dairy when dairy industry subsidies artificially increased the supply of milk and created a surplus of milk that was then converted into cheese, butter, or powdered milk. The cheese, along with the butter and dehydrated powder, were stored in over 150 warehouses across 35 states.[1]
