Cheese-cake with no cheese and the cheesy one that's got no cake. Can someone explain?!


Question: Cheese-cake with no cheese and the cheesy one that's got no cake!. Can someone explain!?
The American or English cheese-cake has no cheese in it so why is it called that!? On the other hand there is the Mediterranean cheese-cake which DOES have cheese in it but it's a pie and not a cake!. Why the misnomers!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
American cheesecake always has cheese in it, usually cream cheese but sometimes ricotta or mascarpone!.

I'm not familiar with the "Mediterranean cheese-cake' that you say is a pie but not a cake!. In America there are many different types of things that are called "cakes", but if they don't bake it in a pie pan, it's not a pie!.

I think this is just a misunderstanding of recipes and a mistranslation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, my cheesecake has cream cheese in it, but not American cheese or Provolone!. As for the cake part, I'd like a bit of cake in my cheese, but I don't see any!. Maybe someone else can explain part two, but the cheesecake I eat definitely has cheese in it!. I'm lactose intolerant and will be very sorry if I don't take my little pills before eating it, so that's proof that we're a cheesed up bunch!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Lol!.!.!.your messed up Man!. Are you just saying there a bunch of chesse and no Pie base holding it, because if the pie base is holding it then guess wat dipshit ITS A CAKE!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's pepper jack cheese but they don't consider it to be real!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
