Missouri Cheese

Much government cheese is stored in "Missouri cheese caves",[10] underground warehouses for storing and aging cheese in and around the Midwestern state of Missouri, part of a national network of such facilities.[11] An erroneous article by Modern Farmer began circulating on social media in 2022 implying all of the USDA's 1.5 billion pounds of cheese was stored in caves near Springfield, Missouri.[12][13]

The US has it too.

    Imagine exploring some caves and just wandering into one of these vaults...

    I think I know what the players in my D&D campaign will be wandering into next. Complete with cheese golems shaped like cows.

    "I try to eat the cheese golem's head."

    "Roll D20 for agility check."

    *natural one*

    "The golem is amused as it easily pulls away before you can sink your teeth into it, all you manage to chew on is your own hand and dignity. Roll D6 for finger damage and then golem attacks."

    Can't we solve this problem like Elon would solve the problem and simply store the cheese in space?

    Honestly storing cheese in space makes more sense than putting data centers in space

    Due to orbital decay, it ends up raining fondue. It's a huge mess.

    It was a play on words.

    round - a drink of liquor apiece served at one time to each person in a group
    and
    the fact that dwarves are prodigiously hungry and thirsty
    gives us:
    They would each require their own round of cheese for a round served to the group, which is what Thorin called to be delivered to the table. Hence the price tag.

    But thank you for the earnest education on delicious cheese. The pungent, well aged cheeses have always been my favorite.
