my 4-yr-old daughter calls shredded cheddar “cheese sprinkles” and grated parmesan “sprinkle cheese” and it can get confusing, so i stitched this handy guide to hang in our kitchen

Parmesan is a cheese which from her point of view is only ever sprinkled, so it makes sense for it to be inherently sprinkly. Sprinkly cheese.

Cheddar by contrast is a cheese first and foremost, and only sometimes a sprinkle, so it is cheese in sprinkle form, cheese sprinkles.

Her brain might break though if you gave her a block of parm to eat though.
