Titanic submersible es morte

I forgive you :hihi:

Speaking of ships carrying food and sinking on their way to MX: edam cheese is very popular here in the Yucatán Peninsula, so much that it has been incorporated in traditional cuisine. We call it "queso de bola" (cheese ball) because it is sold in the shape of a ball. The lore says that a Dutch ship carrying the cheese was sunk off the coast of Campeche (which was a pirate hub just off the Caribbean) in the late 1800's, and the cheese floated onto the coast of Yucatán, where people picked them up, and acquired a taste for it.
How is it traditionally prepared/consumed there? I once worked with a guy from the Philippines who told me it was part of his family's Christmas tradition. IIRC, he said they ate it as-is and also with some meats like ham.
