food trivia, mention of alcohol
when people talk about fermentation, they usually have alcohol in mind, but did you know that foods like cheese and cured meat are also fermented? Pretty much anything that's aged at all has fermentation involved in making it; not just wine and beer and spirits but also cheese and sausages and soy sauce and countless other things I can't think of right now

@Brainship yeah! fermentation doesn't always result in alcohol; lactic acid is another possible result, for instance (actually, the anaerobic respiration that happens in muscles when you're exercising really hard is a type of fermentation! the lactic acid that it creates is part of the reason your muscles feel sore after exercise)
