How to Sign "Cheese" in American Sign Language (ASL)

To make the sign for “cheese,” lower the palm of your dominant “clawed 5” hand, with the palm facing down, and “crush” it in contact with the non-dominant palm-up, loosely formed “5” hand. Do this twice. The sign shows up a lot when people talk about food, share recipes, or tell others what they like to eat. It's easy to remember. When talking about special kinds of cheese, people might spell out the exact name to be more clear.
