You know that’s how we probably got cheese? Some woman with a yeast literally put her hand in the yeast area, then in the milk container and created cheese accidentally.
Or feet! It could have been a guy with the most stinky feet. We just don’t know.
So more like “honey! I gutted the cow like you asked, where should I put the guts?.. Oh put those in the milk and let that sit for a few months in the cool part of the cave!”
I mean if it’s a short term thing I suppose you could have them drink a bunch of it and then puke it up at your destination. I’ve done that as a kid after drinking a bunch of milk and then going running around in the hot sun.
100% this, but animal stomach and not bladders. Because stomachs contain rennet which are the enzymes that are used to make cheese. Cheese is not made with yeast. It very certainly is not related to a woman with a yeast infection …

Cheese requires some stomach enzymes or something like that, making it wildly unlikely the first cheese was human derived.
Not all require rennet, like cottage cheese for instance

They put the milk in animal stomachs because they’re fairly easy to make watertight.
The ancestral plastic bag… But you must murder an animal.

I thought it was nomadic people carrying milk in animal bladders or something

Ah! That makes way more sense!
