About National Cheese Ball Day
Politics , Christian
United States
Ends: Apr 17, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Cheese balls are an American holiday tradition and standard fare at Christmas parties with a political history.
The first cheese ball was public relations stunt created by Elder John Leland of Cheshire, Massachusetts, in the early 1800s. His "Mammoth Cheese" weighed in at 1,235 pounds (560.18 kilograms).
Leland created the giant cheese ball, gathering all ingredients and labor without using a single slave to symbolize what could be accomplished without slavery. He then packed his colossal cheese into a wagon and drove it from Massachusetts to President Jefferson's White House lawn, where he dumped it. Along the way, the preacher delivered sermons, gaining a growing following as the giant cheese ball followed in the wagon behind him. Ultimately, his cheese ball made a pungently sharp statement to the president, but slavery would remain for another 60 years.
In Cheshire, Massachusetts, a monument stands celebrating Leland's protest and the cheese press that created his abolitionist cheese ball.
World War II brought the cheese ball back one hundred and thirty-five years later. They are easy to create, can be molded into shapes, and are made from inexpensive ingredients. Cheese balls became a staple at cocktail parties during the war years. In the 1950s and 1960s, cheese balls went gourmet when Richard Ransom began selling gourmet cheeses under the brand name "Hickory Farms."
