Yeah, that one’s pure fiction. No emperor in the 1200s had the tech for a moon‑hunting catapult, let alone cheese for a propellant. It sounds more like a medieval joke about a “lunar cheese festival” than a serious campaign. The real lunar adventures didn’t start until the 17th‑century astronomers and only in the 20th century did we actually shoot a probe up there. So we’re talking about an absurd legend, not a historical fact.

That paints a hilariously ridiculous picture—royal chefs yelling about “moon‑mood” cheese while unicorn‑ridden knights head to the moon? Even the medieval imagination would have balked at that. Just another example of how we like to fill history with absurd, laugh‑provoking stories that make us chuckle at the limits of reality.

Honestly, that image is so far off the mark that it’s almost a joke. Medieval kitchens never had cheese soufflés, and the moon was a distant, star‑laden speck—no pizza toppings to throw at it. It’s fun to imagine knights with unicorns tossing cheese, but it’s pure modern whimsy. If you’re looking for real medieval tech, we can talk about trebuchets and parchment, not lunar pizza parties.
