Just like penicillin?
Quite a few scientific discoveries are the result of
chance combined
with a good eye. We all know that
penicillin, the wonder drug was discovered as the
result of a messy laboratory and some dirty slides.
But it took a dedicated scientist to recognise the importance of what he saw before
his eyes. I wonder
how many marvellous discoveries
were not made
because people quite simply didn’t recognise the
importance of what was going on in front of them.
One area where chance discoveries occur is
with food. Most of us have heard of that wonderful
creamy blue cheese from France called Roquefort,
but how many of us know how it was invented? A
lovely legend I came across in an old book gives an
explanation; whether it has any foundation in truth is
another matter. Once upon a time a lonely shepherd
was eating his midday meal of bread and sheep’s
cheese when he saw a beautiful shepherdess on the
horizon. He was immediately struck by her beauty,
and pausing only to hide his lunch in a nearby cave
ran off in search of her. He chased her up hill and
down valley but was unable to catch her or even
get any closer. Exhausted and disappointed he made
his way back to the cave and his lunch. Imagine his
surprise when he noticed an incredible transformation
had taken place in his absence. By the light of the
setting sun he saw that his plain white cheese was
now streaked with a blue mould – a bit like penicillin!
Instead of throwing the cheese away he was so
hungry
that he bit into it and discovered cheese
heaven. The fungus in the cave and the grain used to
make the bread worked together to turn plain sheep’s
cheese into the fabulous blue cheese we know today
as Roquefort.
