Cheese is both delicious and something that makes you wonder who the hell came up with it. Something like paneer at least sounds less gross than most cheese-making processes* (and I say that as someone who loves her cheese), but that's not even a Western cheese.
Baking is especially amazing, because of all the chemistry and the way the ingredients interact. So is cooking meat, for that matter.
* From what I understand (from Wikipedia), you sour hot milk with vinegar, drain off the liquid, cool it, and then put it under something heavy. No bacteria, digestive enzymes or molds involved.
