Now I know why all cheesecakes I’ve tried in the USA tasted awful.
No Basque Cheesecake? Fuck this list.
Dito for Swedish
How am I supposed to know what ditto is in Swedish?
Never struck me to think of Ostkaka as being in the same category as Cheesecake, even though the translation clearly is the same.
Regardless, I would trade any of the other nationalities cakes for the one we have. Except the Japanese one, I think it’s mediocre
Honestly
Part of me thinks this is a clever troll to leave it out
This is the kind of culinary aggression I can get behind .
Ah, Krümelkuchen?
German here 👋 When I ate my first American Cheesecake in the US I actually thought that something was wrong with it and I let the others at my table which were all Americans taste as well. They all said it was alright. It was pure sweet and almost inedible for my German cheese cake taste. I never ate one after that experience 😅
I went to the US in the early '90s, I tried a McDonalds to see if it tasted the same as an Australian version, i couldn’t eat it, I had one bite… went wtf, again, gagged a little and gave up, the bun was toxic sweet. i initially assumed it was a joke that staff had played, putting sugar on the burger becase of my accent or something but no that’s just how sweet it tastes apparently
That same influence in The Philippines, the bread there is mostly inedible, so sweet, similarly pastas etc
Quark cheese had been known to spontaneously pop in and out of existence with its anti-quark cheese counterpart, at which point the collide and annihilate each other in an intense burst of radiation.
Basque? That ought to be in there. Had one in Barcelona that was amazing. Tried to make one at home and it just seemed flat compared to the Spanish one.
Gâteau Basque? Basque is a ethnic group in north spain.
Gâteau basque and Basque cheesecake are different cakes. The first rather comes from the French part and the second rather comes from the Spanish part (Basque: euskal gazta-tarta, Spanish: tarta de queso vasca).
Basque cheesecake
Gâteau basque (usually with cream filling, sometimes with local black cherry jam)
If anyone goes to the French Basques country, I highly recommend buying the ones from Maison Gastellou, both the cream version and the cherry version are marvelous.
I’ll take two of each please.
Yes. I know.
Just put it in my mouth.
No Italian ricotta cheesecake? For shame!
I kid, but I seriously recommend people try it. Crust optional, filling is a combo of ricotta and marscapone cheese with butter and sour cream. Wonderful as-is, but even better with strawberry or raspberry sauce.
Made a honey and poppy seed ricotta cheesecake once with sweet marscarpone on the side. It was delicious.
Italian and Basque are the two best ones, followed by New York. Scandinavian is nice enough and also not listed.
Or mascarpone cheese cake
They misspelled Käsekuchen.
Maybe they just ran out of dots.
Luckily there is a rule for that. You just add an “e”. Germans will know when they read Kaese that it means Käse(cheese).
ä=ae ö=oe ü=ue
And bonus ß=ss
proves that they are from new yörk
I don’t remember if German rules are the same as French, but in French you don’t need to include accents when something is written in capital letters.
You need to include them in German. We now even have a capital ß: ẞ
ẞased
SSased?
L’Académie Française disagrees. https://www.academie-francaise.fr/questions-de-langue#5_strong-em-accentuation-des-majuscules-em-strong
You absolutely do have to include accents when something is in capital letters in French. The fact that antique typing machines couldn’t do it notwithstanding. It’s a common and irritating misconception (also Windows makes it difficult to do so because it’s shit, and Azerty is shit, but it’s not a problem in other systems).
I have tried the German and New York and they were both good in different ways.
You missed one of the most famous styles? Basque Cheesecake
Can we have a shout out to no-bake cheesecakes, it’s literally a whole genre of cakes!
Random fruit toppings, flavoured cheese, fruit or chocolate in the cheese, goddamn Oreo base, modern recipes are fun!
that polish shit looks like it fucks
You’re missing basque style
Sweden would like to join the chat
I tried this and was gravely disappointed 😔
You should try Hälsinge ostkaka instead.
The Tourteau au Fromage certainly deserves a mention IMO.
