Cheese — panlr. 



This I was iuformed was made iu tliese regions, thus : to 

 make cheese add panlr-mdla (rennet), which is a portion of 

 the stomach of a lamb or kid, to sweet milk, then collect the 

 curds by pressure in a cloth, the compressed curd is cheese. 

 When the stomach of a kid or lamb cannot be got, then the 

 juice of a Euphokbia is employed in lieu of it, but this gives 

 the cheese a bitter taste. Cheese is only used by the 

 wealthy, it is quite unknown as a food to the poorer Persians.
