Do you like cheese cake?

Do you like cheese cake?I do.:)
Generally speaking no, I don't like it much. But I don't have much of a sweet tooth, especially for sweet things that are what the French call étouffe chrétien, which I suppose more or less means stodgy, or something like that.

My favourite sweet treat is a good pastel de nata :)

I had to look that up. Portuguese, I see. But basically a custard tart.

According to Wiki, its origin is monastic and way a way of using up surplus egg yolks, in the days when the whites were used for "starching", i.e. stiffening, clothes.

I have the opposite problem in the kitchen. Some recipes call for an egg yolk (mayonnaise, hollandaise, binding polpette meatballs etc.) and I'm left with the whites. So I make meringues. They keep for a while and are a handy thing for impromptu desserts when my son is around or I have visitors.

I like good cheesecake. Stuff with real ingredients, not that pudding no-bake crap that's so popular in these parts.

Yup!

Tesco does good ones.

Meringue is also good; very light.

I love cheese cake.

Probably my favorite dessert, although I almost never eat it.
