Drew Carey once called it "crossword puzzle cheese" on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

EDAM

This Dutch semi-hard cheese shares its name with a reversed "made."

This clue references a joke from Whose Line Is It Anyway? where Drew Carey humorously called Edam "crossword puzzle cheese" because it’s a common, easy answer in puzzles. The wordplay comes from Edam being a well-known cheese that fits neatly into crosswords due to its short, vowel-heavy name. If you’ve seen the show or solved crosswords before, the phrase instantly points to Edam as the answer. It’s a playful nod to how some words pop up repeatedly in games and puzzles.
