message: Why are the regions of the world listed in this order? Should they not be listed alphabetically, i.e. Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America? (Or I guess you could put the Americas first, in the order North, South, then Asia). ZackMartin (talk) 12:11, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Usually, these sections seem to begin as a few facts, with newer information usually going at the bottom, and eventually someone adds in section headings.  The result is that the order is often pretty much random until someone else comes along and organizes it.  You should feel free to be that "someone else" and boldly improve the organization.

message: Cheese Pie redirects here. I don't understand this at all - cheese pie is completely unrelated to cheesecake, being a hot savoury dish (at least here in the UK). Is this true in other Anglophone regions? --Ef80 (talk) 18:35, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that it you search for "cherry cream cheese pie" at your favorite web search engine, you'll see what the redirect creator was likely thinking about.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:26, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I see what you mean. It isn't a satisfactory state of affairs though - cheese pie should really be a disambig page, with this article as one of the links. I suppose somebody needs to write a stub for (savoury) cheese pie first though. --Ef80 (talk) 21:25, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: British cheese pie isn't well defined but is usually some mixture of mashed potato, onion and cheese with a pastry top. It was one of the standard World War II austerity dishes and is much less common today though it is still made - see http://cheesepie.co.uk/, http://www.wartimehousewife.com/2009/08/cheese-pie/. --Ef80 (talk) 00:14, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Both look good but I imagine the second to be more British. With the first, I see three Italian cheeses in a traditional Brit pie.  — Berean Hunter (talk) 00:50, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

message: The article says:
Cato the Elder's De Agri Cultura includes recipes for two cakes for religious uses: libum and placenta.[5][6] Of the two, placenta is most like most modern cheesecakes, having a crust that is separately prepared and baked.[7] It is important to note that though these early forms are called "cheesecakes", they differed greatly in taste and consistency from the cheesecake that we know today.
There are several mistakes and misconceptions in this passage.
1) Cato indeed gives a recipe for placenta, and indeed the cake contains cheese. But first of all, "placenta" does not mean cheesecake, the word simply means a cake. So the first half the last sentence quoted above is pointless.
2) The other part of the sentence is pointless as well, because the recipe for a cheesecake is given by Cato not in section 85 (placenta), but in section 93 (savillum). A cake baked according to this recipe is virtually identical to modern cheesecake, the only exception being, that Cato's recipe suggests to use honey where we'd use sugar (which was not available to Romans). This adds some flavor (characteristic to honey) to the way the cake tastes, but despite this (minor) difference, savillum is, as I said, identical to modern cheesecake. And yes, I tried the recipe myself.
3) Consequently, the entire passage I am quoting above is wrong, because it first misidentifies the placenta recipe as being a cheesecake recipe, then proceeds to "discover" that placenta "differs greatly in taste and consistency" from our modern cheesecakes. Of course it does - because placenta is NOT a cheesecake. The Cato's cheesecake is savillum.

Japanese-style cheesecake relies upon the emulsification of cornstarch and eggs to make a smooth flan-like texture and almost plasticine appearance.
There is no citation for this, and it appears to be fanciful. NotYourFathersOldsmobile (talk) 00:23, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

message: I'll start by rambling: it seems to me that cheesecake I ate 30 to 40 years ago was less sweet than the cheesecakes that I eat (occasionally) today.  It would be interesting to me to see any kind of historical data as to typical sugar content (separated by type of cheesecake) over the last 50 years or so.  Or, suggestions as to a source of such information.--Rhkramer (talk) 19:42, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Unsure if this should be a new wiki page or a new "Basque"/"Spain" section in this "Cheesecakes" page under the "National Varieties: Europe" section:
Basque cheesecake was created in 1990 by chef Santiago Rivera of La Viña in San Sebastian, Spain. It is a baked crustless cheesecake with a creamy custard-like centre, which sometimes can be molten like lava cake, and main defining characteristic of a caramelized "burnt" top. This cheesecake is now popularized around the world with other restaurants, bakeries, and home chefs making their own versions.

thread_title:  "Cheesecake" with Orange Slices? 

message: I do not believe, that this source is reliable. It is used to show, that yeast was apparently used in the majority (if not all) cheescake recipes as late as the 18th century. But the German wikipedia entry for cheesecake lists the ingredients of a cheesecake from the end of the 16th century, with no yeast to be found. Making the statement from "Cheesecake.com" dubious at best, as it gives no sources what so ever. This is besides the fact, that a cheesecake company's website cannot be a credible source for a wikipedia article - this is for marketing, not a scholarly endevour. 88.152.184.17 (talk) 22:57, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
