Answer 2

I like Ana Belle's answers - with one exception. There may be a quark cheese, but that word to me denotes a subatomic particle with on odd etymology. Three quarks for Muster Mark! Sure he has not got much of a bark And sure any he has it's all beside the mark. James Joyce, Finnegan's Wake. Gell-Mann (who along with Zweig first theorized the particles) wanted to name them after the sound a duck makes - but wasn't sure how to best spell the word until he saw the lines above. He chose 'quark' as the name.
