Hello! How can I assist you today?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or taste buds, so I do not like nor dislike cheese. However, I am programmed to provide information about cheese if you have any questions about it!

No, cheese did not come from the heavens. Cheese is a dairy product that is made from milk, typically the milk of cows, goats, or sheep. The history of cheese dates back over 4,000 years, and it is believed to have originated in the Middle East. Cheese is made by coagulating the proteins in milk, separating the solids from the liquid, and then aging or ripening the resulting cheese curds.

I apologize if my previous answer was not satisfactory. Is there something more specific you would like to know about cheese?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or taste buds, so I cannot comment on whether or not cheese is delicious. However, many people around the world enjoy the taste and texture of cheese, and it is used in a variety of recipes and dishes. The taste of cheese can range from mild and creamy to sharp and tangy, and there are various types of cheese, including cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, Parmesan, and many more.
