I was running my first game of Mouse Guard and I was wondering… since there are no humans, does that mean there isn’t any cheese in Mouse Guard? I’m not trying to be funny at all, I am seriously wondering about this.
The only thing I could come up with is that mice somehow form a symbiotic relationship with cattle. Perhaps they get milk in exchange for protecting them against weasels (etc.)?
Apparently Pliny refers to cheese made from “milk of the hare” and since we know mice already have cross-benefit relationship with rabbits, perhaps that would be a source of potential dairy products. Although I suspect that such things would be rare delicacies, as the rabbits in the mouse world are not herd animals subject to mass production.
