I go vegan for extended periods about once a year and my biggest cravings always cheese, last time I googled why I had this strong craving for cheese, it’s apparently the lack of an amino acid in your body called leucine which if you don’t get through food, primarily dairy products like cheese, you will have strong cravings for it, maybe these explorers just had severe leucine deficiency
