A Tale of Two Cheeses

from Plodding Through The Presidents · host Howard & Jessica Dorre

We dig into the stories behind two giant cheeses gifted to Presidents: First, the Mammoth Cheese presented to Thomas Jefferson in 1802 by Elder John Leland, and then an even bigger cheese made for Andrew Jackson. It’s a story of human ingenuity, religious freedom, chaos, and democracy. With a little old-school cheddar and sherry.  Find out more at plodpod.com Join our Patreon community at https://www.patreon.com/ploddingthroughthepresidents Check out our merch shop at https://plodding-through-the-presidents.dashery.com/ Visit the cheesemongers at MilkFarm in Los Angeles: https://milkfarmla.com/ Subscribe to our Substack: https://plodding.substack.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
