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
Ah, Krümelkuchen?
This is the kind of culinary aggression I can get behind .
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.
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 in German because Umlaute are not accents but different characters.
They not only sound different, the words also mean different things.schon is already
schön is prettyThere is the same issue in French that the lack of accent can change the meaning, so the French Academy does recommend putting accents on capitals. https://www.academie-francaise.fr/questions-de-langue#5_strong-em-accentuation-des-majuscules-em-strong
Newspaper title “UN INTERNE TUE”:
- Un interne tue: medical intern kills
- Un interne tué: medical intern killed
- Un interné tue: institutionalized patient kills
- Un interné tué: institutionalized patient killed
Example from https://www.projet-voltaire.fr/ressources/accent-majuscules-capitales/
I guess that’s what I get for learning French during the age of typewriters (my formal French education ended in 1981 and I’ve only spoken --never written-- it since then).
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).
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
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.
Italian and Basque are the two best ones, followed by New York. Scandinavian is nice enough and also not listed.
Made a honey and poppy seed ricotta cheesecake once with sweet marscarpone on the side. It was delicious.
Or mascarpone cheese cake
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.
Käsekuchen ist immer lecker
Kasekuchen looks so good
I want one now, it looks delicious
The Tourteau au Fromage certainly deserves a mention IMO.
You’re missing basque style
French cheese cake
Is the top burnt?
Yup but it’s on purpose. This is called “tourteau fromager”
Are you supposed to eat the burnt layer ? Is it just to add flavor and can be scraped? I usually don’t like burnt stuff, so I wonder how much it affects the taste
You’re free to remove it but it also adds texture. The taste of the rest is lightly sweet so I guess it should be good even without it.
Badly, yes.
I want it so bad

Sweden would like to join the chat
I tried this and was gravely disappointed 😔
You should try Hälsinge ostkaka instead.
Just put it in my mouth.
Käsekuchen is my favourite out of the three I’ve tried. It’s incredibly well balanced in flavours. It’s a shame Quark is almost completely unheard of outside German/Slavic countries.
