Cheese is a food that is derived from milk and produced in a wide range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It uses the proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. During cheese production, the milk is usually acidified, and adding the enzyme rennet causes coagulation. The solids are separated and pressed into final form. Some cheeses have molds on the rind or throughout. Most cheeses melt at cooking temperature. Hundreds of types of cheese from various countries are produced, the styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk, whether they have been pasteurized, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and aging.

A baguette is a long thin loaf of French bread that is commonly made from basic bread dough. It is recognizable by its length and crisp crust. The word baguette was not used to refer to a type of bread until 1920, but what is now known as a baguette we see today may have existed before that. The word baguette simply means wand or baton, as in baguette magique (magic wand), baguettes chinoises (chopsticks), or baguette de direction which means conductor's baton. Baguettes are often sliced and served with p�t� or cheese. As part of the traditional continental breakfast in France, slices of baguettes are spread with butter and jam and then dunked in bowls of coffee or hot chocolate. In the United States, French bread loaves are sometimes split in half to make French bread style pizza.
