Stilton cheese
Another early printed reference to Stilton cheese came from William Stukeley. Daniel Defoe in his 1724 work "A tour thro' the whole island of Great Britain" notes, "We pass'd Stilton, a town famous for cheese, which is call'd our English Parmesan, and is brought to table with the mites or maggots round it, so thick, that they bring a spoon with them for you to eat the mites with, as you do the cheese."
