But what if we told you that cheese, yes cheese, was also part of the spooky, scary holiday? What if instead of chocolate bars and candy corn, we all snacked on cheese samples while we went trick-or-treating? What if Boris got it wrong and meant to say \u201cMuenster Mash\u201d? In all the historic Halloween literature, there is never a clear definition of what we should be eating on this festive occasion. There are, however, numerous mentions of cheese in the same famous texts from which we find iconic Halloween monsters like Frankenstein\u2019s Monster, the Invisible Man, and Dracula. With these not-so-scary literary cheeses, I hope to make the case for a slightly more savory Halloween. Leave the garlic and pitchforks at home while we explore the civilized side of cheese eating in the scariest works of classical literature\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_VqUgUoZrJnY\/TMX84kg5OvI\/AAAAAAAABTI\/nClvRZuTfXI\/s320\/FRANK+1.jpg\" width=\"307px\" height=\"320px\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">The first monster-cheese pairing occurs in Mary Shelley\u2019s iconic novel,&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">(1818). Set in early nineteenth-century Switzerland, a slightly-crazed doctor named Victor Frankenstein begins experimenting with the novel concept of galvanism (using electricity to animate or reanimate animal tissue). From his supernatural experiments comes the monster we all know and incorrectly call Frankenstein. Fast forwarding a bit, we find that Frank the monster has escaped from the doctor\u2019s laboratory in Geneva and fled to the nearby foothills of the picturesque Swiss Alps. Fatigued and hungry, Frank decided to approach an open shepherd\u2019s hut to seek assistance,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt was about seven in the morning, and I longed to obtain food and shelter; at length I perceived a small hut, on a rising ground, which had doubtless been built for the convenience of some shepherd. This was a new sight to me; and I examined the structure; with great curiosity. Finding the door open, I entered. An old man sat in it, near a fire, over which he was preparing his breakfast. He turned on hearing a noise; and perceiving me, shrieked loudly, and quitting the hut, ran across the fields with a speed of which his debilitated form hardly appeared capable. I greedily devoured the remnants of the shepherd&#8217;s breakfast, which consisted of bread, cheese, milk, and wine; the latter, however, I did not like.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As we can see, Frank was a simple monster who found the country life quite amenable. While Shelley doesn&#8217;t explicitly state the type of cheese Frank enjoyed, we can assume it was a local cheese that the Shepherd most likely made himself. After Frank awakes from his post-breakfast nap, he decides to go on a walk through the nearby village where he found more huts and cottages with \u201cvegetables in the gardens\u201d and \u201cmilk and cheese\u2026placed at the windows.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"irc_mi\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/images.myswitzerland.com\/n49486\/images\/buehne_klein\/justistal_chasteilet-05_thun-thunersee-toruismus.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"240\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by My Switzerland<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">Using the wintertime weather to their advantage, locals probably stored the milk and cheese on the windowsills to keep the dairy cool. With these details, along with the earlier mention of the shepherd, we can deduce that this nearby village might just be a dairying community, one that participates in traditional yearly Alpine cheese making customs. For hundreds of years, Swiss shepherds have herded their flocks \u2013 typically sheep or cows \u2013 up the Swiss Alps to graze in the highest meadows. From the beginning of summer until the end of fall, the animals graze and produce their best milk, while their caretakers produce various traditional Swiss cheeses. Once they return to the villages, they divide the cheese between the villagers and those who participated in the cheese-making process. The cheeses Frank sees throughout this village could be the remnants of the traditional alpine cheese season. If only he could stop scaring the villagers long enough to learn their cheesemaking secrets.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\" photo geeklegacy_zps470bcec0.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/i1282.photobucket.com\/albums\/a530\/Katherine_Hysmith\/geeklegacy_zps470bcec0.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"319\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Geek Legacy<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">The next scary cheese comes from the horror \/ science-fiction novel penned by H.G. Wells,&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">The Invisible Man<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">(1897). While the Invisible Man doesn\u2019t really fall within the traditional category of Halloween monsters, his devious actions at the end of the story prove his monstrous capabilities. What started as an experiment in optics (do you see a trend here?) resulted in a nasty case of indeterminable invisibility. He conceals his form, or lack thereof, with bandages, a fake nose, a large coat, and thick gloves. Hoping to reverse the effects, the foolish scientist, also known as Griffin, sets off to find a cure and finds himself stuck in the quaint village of Iping in West Sussex, England during a snowstorm. He sets up a makeshift chemistry lab in his rented room at the local inn and earns the scorn of the lady innkeeper who thinks him odd and reclusive. During an argument, he accidentally reveals his invisibility to the innkeeper who immediately calls the police. As he flees the premises he removes his bandages, becoming completely invisible, save for the remnants of his undigested dinner sitting in his stomach. The Invisible Man runs into his only trusted friend in town who can\u2019t help but notice the cheese\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m dashed!&#8221; he said. &#8220;If this don&#8217;t beat cock-fighting! Most remarkable!\u2014And there I can see a rabbit clean through you, &#8216;arf a mile away! Not a bit of you visible\u2014except\u2014&#8221; He scrutinized the apparently empty space keenly. &#8220;You &#8216;aven&#8217;t been eatin&#8217; bread and cheese?&#8221; he asked, holding the invisible arm. &#8220;You&#8217;re quite right, and it&#8217;s not quite assimilated into the system.&#8221; &#8220;Ah!&#8221; said Mr. Marvel. &#8220;Sort of ghostly, though.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" alt=\" photo highwealddairy_zps8bd52cbf.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/i1282.photobucket.com\/albums\/a530\/Katherine_Hysmith\/highwealddairy_zps8bd52cbf.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" border=\"0\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by High Weald Dairy<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">Without much detail, it is difficult to figure out which type of cheese is visible through the Invisible Man\u2019s stomach, but thanks to the longstanding tradition of regional British cheeses we can hypothesize that he ate a local variety from the county of West Sussex. One of the oldest varieties produced in that area is known as Sussex Slipcote. A soft, fresh sheep\u2019s milk cheese made since medieval times, the word \u201cslipcote\u201d is an Old English compound word that means \u201ca little piece of cottage cheese.\u201d Although the curse of invisibility rendered him insane and unstable, we now know that the Invisible Man can be felled with just a few embarrassing jibes. If you ever run across him try \u201cyour slipcote is showing\u201d and see what happens.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 252px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.drawing-pencil-sketches.com\/images\/Count-Dracula.gif\" width=\"242\" height=\"220\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Drawing Sketches<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">The final cheesy mention exists in Bram Stoker\u2019s famous gothic novel,&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">Dracula<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">&nbsp;(1897). While Stoker was from Ireland and had never visited the haunted woods of Transylvania, he became close friends with a Hungarian writer and traveler who shared the spooky stories associated with Dracula\u2019s home and the historic Carpathian Mountains. At the time of publication, Transylvanian culture was heavily influenced by Turkish traditions, but the nation learned from numerous cultures throughout its ancient history including the Romans, several Eastern European nations, and the Ottoman Empire. In turn, this cultural melting pot contributed to the local Transylvanian cuisine, which boasts various national foods and over ten different common cheeses. For a novel about a blood-sucking vampire, Stoker included a surprising amount of culinary detail. For example, the first time we meet Dracula he serves a rich, but simple dinner to his guest, Jonathon Harker,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201dThe Count himself came forward and took off the cover of a dish, and I fell to at once on an excellent roast chicken. This, with some cheese and a salad and a bottle of old Tokay, of which I had two glasses, was my supper. During the time I was eating it the Count asked me many questions as to my journey, and I told him by degrees all I had experienced.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dracula\u2019s castle is situated in the depths of the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania (what is modern day Romania). One of the lasting traditions of Romanian cheesemaking is the use of&nbsp;<em>transhumance<\/em>. Although this sounds like some sort of spell Dracula might use on unsuspecting dinner guests, transhumance can be defined as the action or practice of moving livestock \u2013 typically sheep or cattle \u2013 from one grazing ground to another in a seasonal cycle. This is usually occurs in a mountainous area where the livestock can graze both in the lowlands and in the highlands, which allows the grazed areas to regrow and creates particularly high-quality milk.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" alt=\" photo 334b7ba0-01b5-4714-891a-cf0988802da0_zps655d8de9.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/i1282.photobucket.com\/albums\/a530\/Katherine_Hysmith\/334b7ba0-01b5-4714-891a-cf0988802da0_zps655d8de9.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Wild Transylvania<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em;\">In Romania, the general word for cheese is br\u00e2nz\u0103.

They share similar characteristics \u2013 salty, sheep\u2019s milk, soft texture, strong flavors \u2013 and are similarly stored in tubes made of pine bark or fir tree bark, which helps create&nbsp;additional flavor.
