Maybe it has something to do with the Kurds, and their ways.

Curds and whey = cottage cheese.

I have a great capacity for useless trivia. It's everything else I have trouble remembering.

That reminds me, I remember seeing a sign at a Long John Silvers or something for Cheese Curds. Now that just doesn't sound good.

Ah. You may be right. Just looked it up.

Note that: "The names tuffet and hassock are both derived from English names for a small grassy hillock or clump of grass, in use since at least the sixteenth century."

I really didn't know that! Learned something new today.

I think that's a tussock.

Actually, it is. It's a kind of pre-cheese. Soft and yummy. And if they're properly fresh, they squeak when you eat them. I can't vouch for fast food ones, though. They'll probably screw them up somehow.

A young female child with the surname "Muffett"
Was sitting on a small stool, eating cottage cheese.
She suffered from extreme arachnophobia,
and fled when she observed a nearby spider.

Takes some of the fun out of it, really.

Similar, but not equal, to cottage cheese. I had curds and whey once at some dairy store in Wisconsin, they were more like fresh mozzarella in water (but smaller.) As wolf mentions, they are squeaky when you eat them.

We knew that. This is thread drift.

Depends on how precise you want to be, I guess.

That would end it for me. I dread the first popcorn that squeaks because that is the end of it for me. I don't know how cats eat squeaky things, I swear I don't!
