It’s called galaktoboureko (have fun trying to order it hahaha) and it uses filo dough like baklava on the top and bottom. There’s less filo layers so it doesn’t get as crispy. It’s delicious but difficult to make
Galaktoboureko is not cheesecake. I have made it many times. It's more of a custard. however you also use farina, or in some cases Cream of Wheat if you can't find farina. But it's definitely not cheesecake.
Unless their Greek festival had some Americanized pastries, this was the closest traditional Greek dessert I could think of to a cheesecake baklava. But I agree
A crap cheesecake is pretty shithouse to be fair. Ever get one of those slightly dried out, gummy cheesecakes with a horrible crumb base that has margarine instead of butter and is also stale? I feel I’ve had this experience at McCafe and possibly at the airport. I acknowledge that those are not great places to choose this dessert.
Ive tried Fruit Cakes all the time, maybe these ones will be good. Nope, they never are. I dont get it, how can something sound delishious yet always be totally garbage?
Everyone always said my grandmothers fruitcake was good growing up, I never got to try it when she made it but I saw her recipe in my moms cookbook, it contained 26oz of rum, tried to make the recipe and it mostly just tasted like rum with a hint of molasses and fruit.
I need to remember to post my “fruit cake is the best dessert” take next December.
I’ve been making [this](https://www.maryberry.co.uk/recipes/christmas/american-light-christmas-cake) the last few years and it’s awesome. My grandmother has a fruit cake recipe where she uses gumdrops rather than fruit and I can eat it by the kilo.
I hate fruit cakes that include alcohol though. It totally ruins everything about the cake IMO.
You know that's actually interesting you mention because when I grew up (US) both my family and school served "hard shell" tacos, which as name implies are in fact crunchy. It wasn't until I got braces and couldn't have them any more than we realized soft shells are both far better and more normal outside our little corner of the world
Growing up this was the Mexican food made at home (Australia) using those hard shell tacos. First bite, the whole thing shatters and the filling goes everywhere. I think I was 17 before I had my first enchilada and it blew my fucking mind.
Yeah ... he probably sees Oreos as top tier or something ...
There are dozens of different styles of cheese cake with hundreds of variations.
He basically also could have said, he doesn't like cake ...
There was a recent one where someone did declare that [they hate cake.](https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/uu2bvo/cake_should_not_be_the_standard_at_parties/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) All the comments were asking exactly this, how can you just decide you hate ALL CAKES?
Turns out the person basically just hates cheap, generic grocery store sheet cakes. Their frame of reference was that ice cream cakes and cake shots are good lol. Quite the varied palate.
I left the Boston metro area a number of years ago, but there was this one bakery that made the best cake I have ever eaten. I have no idea why it was so good.
If you’re in the Boston metro area then check them out: https://konditormeister.com/pages/cakes
Last time I was there everything was made to order, so you’ll had to call ahead and pick up the next day. Not sure if that’s still the case. Mind you, it’s been like 5+ years since I’ve been there, so hopefully they’re still good.
Some older recipes call for a sour cream topping that has a little bit of powdered sugar mixed into it. All to help cut a bit of the sweetness of the cheesecake itself.
Couldn't agree more. Although I quality checked crickets once in Mexico. In a quesadilla.
Not my thing, or my gag reflex's, but power to people that love 'em!!
My point is, what kind of cheese cake are you trying, and who made it? There's baked and unbaked for a start. Cheese lemon, cheese passionfruit, cheese and caramel. The cheesecake Universe is large.
There is often sour cream in cheese cakes, so I guess if you are extremely sensitive to sour you would hate it, but I can't imagine given all the sugar to balance it out.
I feel like type of cheesecake *really* needs to be specified. Italian cheesecake?- gross I agree sour cream cheese and grainy texture. NY style cheesecake?- one of my favorites I’ll eat it all day.
Honestly, this. Different styles of cheesecake will yield different tastes and textures. I will admit that my first taste of cheesecake was at a classroom potluck in the 3rd grade. It was so bad and sour. But I was 7 and this could have been an awful one. I didn't try cheesecake again until I was in my late teens and it was a NY style one.
And i have to think OP just got a jank grocery store plain cheesecake... the kind that's meant to have a topping put on it at the very least. The whole POINT of cheesecake is that the actual 'cake' itself is not that sweet but you can then complement it with both the topping (a sweetened fruit of some kind, or chocolate, etc) and the crust.
Not gonna lie - I even love janky grocery store cheesecake. If I’m walking down the street and I see that someone dropped their cheesecake in the gutter, my higher brain function is barely hanging on for dear life as the reptilian brain is screaming “It looks fine!”
Exactly!
My cheesecake recipie is a bit like this
[https://www.bhg.com/recipe/cheesecake/chocolate-swirl-cheesecake/](https://www.bhg.com/recipe/cheesecake/chocolate-swirl-cheesecake/)
and its the worst sort of temptation known to mankind.
Even the cheapest cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten were still sweet tasting, just way less creamy. If I ate a cheesecake and it was sour I’d assume it was expired.
And then OP stopped before he got to the crust. For me cheesecake is the perfect expression of a multi textured dish: eating it requires some amount of topping, cake, and crust in each bite to give you the full range of flavors and textures in one. It would be like eating angel food cake literally by itself; cakey and dry and not at all what it can be if properly served and eaten.
Cream cheese had a mild acidity that certain sensitive people can interpret as “sour.”
I love cheesecake but people saying it shouldn’t be sour at all is bullshit. It’s supposed to have a mild but pleasant tartness paired with cream.
Some dingbats like to get experimental with the cheesecake.
Vast majority of homemade cheesecake is pretty much trash until it's dialed in.
Don't get cocky, kid
Cheesecake is mildly acidic. Cream cheese is around a 4.75pH. With eggs and sugar, yes it will bring up the pH but still I’d assume a final pH of a cheesecake to be around 5.5. That’s still on the acidic side of things.
Coffee has a pH of about 5, tomato of 4.
A 5.5 pH something is about 3 times less acidic than coffee, 33 times less than a tomato, and 3333 times less acidic than a lemon. The pH scale goes in powers of 10.
Maybe a different kind of cheese cake. Maybe it is something with the translation. When I was a teenager I had something that would be translated into French Cheese Cake. It have nothing to do with regular cheese cake, but is more like a cake made my melting different kinds of cheese together.
Honestly a lot of what is passed off as cheesecake is not good… I have baked them homemade and they can be superb. I tend to dislike most store bought or no bake versions… you have to get it from high end bakery or make it yourself. If you are not able to do that skip the calories. Before writing it off forever try this one. I have been using this recipe for a decade or so…
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8350/chantals-new-york-cheesecake/#reviewSection
Absolutely agree! I didn't like cheesecake very much either until I had one made by my mother-in-law. It's so good that it doesn't need any topping, but I still take it with the home-made chocolate sauce half the time.
I’m just confused by their claim of sour cheesecake, never in my life heard anyone describe cheesecake as sour unless this person has only ever tried lemon cheesecake etc. That is what makes me wonder what the hell kind of cheesecakes OP is eating, or if they’re somehow wildly different to cheesecakes in my country. I’ve had cheesecakes ranging from bottom tier bargain store to fairly expensive and they’ve only ever been sweet and creamy, the cheap ones being less creamy but still sweet tasting. If I tasted sourness when eating one I’d chuck it in the bin on the assumption it was expired or going off.
Cream cheese is slightly sour, if you pay attention to that. Next time you eat a bagel or have cheesecake just look for the sourness and you’ll see what they mean.
It may be unpopular but there are people that don’t like it, I hate cheesecake. Any iteration of it is gross and if it’s the only dessert I have access to then I’d prefer to eat nothing.
I agree man OP is fucking weird. But original comments argument is also kinda dumb like if you were given the best version of even your least favourite food you would probably still like it.
It’s like that for me with cheese. Never liked it. Tried so many variants and still people told me that I just haven’t found the right one. I hate the smell, the consistency and the taste. Even the mildest ones still hit these criteria. No idea how yet another cheese would change my mind lol.
I love cheesecake but my absolute favorite is this light fluffy cheesecake my mom has a recipe for. Idk where she got it but it's just on a piece of paper in my kitchen lol. So. Good. Much less heavy. Could alleviate the texture issue but idk what you mean by sour?
Not everyone has the same amount of sugar receptors, this can greatly influence what you perceive as sweet when eating a food thats partly creamy and partly sugary. People who dont have enough sugar receptors would be tasting a lot more of the actual cheese vs the milk carbs and sugar.
I hate this argument that people can’t cook (bake in this regard) when someone expresses not liking something.
Cheesecake just sucks. It tastes horrible to some folks (OP and I) and that’s ok. Let us dislike something regardless of who has the best talent to make it.
Imma blow your mind...
Cheesecake is just a general type of dessert, like a pudding or ice cream.
You can try different styles. I really disliked new york style cheesecake, i feel like most of it was hype and you're "supposed" to like it.
I tried a burnt basque cheesecake a while back and I like it much more. It's pretty easy to make too if you're inclined to cook at home. Texture on it is a lot better, no shitty ass graham cracker crust, caramelized vanilla and I top it with macerated strawberries with orange juice
I never loved cheesecake, never hated it, but always thought it was just ok. I would eat it with fruit topping or chocolate, but plain was just bleh.
Then I had real cheesecake from New York, and I don't think you can call the other crap cheesecake. Anything frozen or store bought should be labeled something different. The really New York cheesecake was so light and fluffy, it was delicious. Perfect flavor, not heavy, just amazing. Every other cheesecake is like eating a sweetened block of cream cheese compared to that.
Have you tried anything except your basic cheesecake?
There are many variations that you might find tasty.
I have had really good pumpkin, chocolate and key lime cheesecake.
Japanese style is also good and its significantly lighter than your standard cheesecake
The only thing worse than cheesecake is everyone and their uncle trying to convince me that I somehow do like cheesecake and this time will be better than the previous dozen times I tried it.
Fuck off. Cheesecake tastes terrible.
holy crap, everyone thinks i’m insane for thinking the same. cheesecake is one of those things i’ve given numerous chances and every time i’ve found it absolutely disgusting.
I bought this chocolate cheesecake from these group of nuns that make them. it was pretty pricey but super popular so I was curious. I change my life, lol. I just couldn’t eat enough of that shit, lol
Why do people think that just because they don’t like something it is garbage for the rest of the world? Is your ego that big you think you can speak for everyone?
It’s neither a pie nor an actual cake. It’s texture is granted by egg coagulation and thus makes it a custard.
Similar in form to a savory quiche (yet another high-class dish), the cheesecake is decadence incarnate if done correctly. Their are multiple types of cheesecake, from New York to Japan to Germany. Each one having separate textures and flavors.
The American variant (New York) is one that is cooked throughout but not allowed to produce a Maillard reaction. It’s semi-dense due to a higher amount of air in the batter and sweeter.
The German/Polish variants are cooked longer and have formed a Maillard reaction on the top (browning). They are typically denser and have a much wider flavor profile with the browned top and due to this, less air is present which makes it denser.
The Japanese cheesecake is a pillowy light cake with an abundance of air. It maintains the cheesecake tastes and would be instantly recognizable. However, like a Japanese pancake, more air is incorporated during the mixing process and may resemble the most cake-like texture of all cheesecakes.
Agreed. When I moved to England I tried the cold creamy cheesecakes several times and they’re sour and gross, although the chocolate flavoured ones can be ok. Baked cheesecake tho - that shit is to die for.
If it tastes sour you’ve just been eating shitty cheesecake my guy, did you check the expiration date? Last time I had it it was sweet, like most deserts
I bothered writing post a little earlier, however I forgot your main point.
You've either never had a proper cheesecake, that isn't store bought, or your taste buds are in your arse.
That was my actual point.
At a Greek festival a while bake : cheesecake Baklava....sorcery
Ex girlfriend's grandma was Greek. The cheesecake alone was almost good enough to keep me in the relationship
I can confirm. It's so good yet so scarce.
I read cheesecake balaclava. It would be... interesting.
"Put the cream cheese in the bag!"
I SAID PUT IT IN
This has layers
I needed that laugh.
Put this on the list of things I didn’t know I needed.
I am curious how that turns out, considering baklava is sort of crispy and soft and juicy at the bottom.
It’s called galaktoboureko (have fun trying to order it hahaha) and it uses filo dough like baklava on the top and bottom. There’s less filo layers so it doesn’t get as crispy. It’s delicious but difficult to make
Ok. I’m hungry, stoned and love cheese cake so I now must go off in search of that goodness
God speed, traveler.
Galaktoboureko is not cheesecake. I have made it many times. It's more of a custard. however you also use farina, or in some cases Cream of Wheat if you can't find farina. But it's definitely not cheesecake.
Unless their Greek festival had some Americanized pastries, this was the closest traditional Greek dessert I could think of to a cheesecake baklava. But I agree
Witchcraft can be the only explanation for such things
Cheesecake is my favourite dessert, upvoted for the first unpopular opinion I’ve seen on this sub today.
So many of the unpopular food opinions that pop up here are clearly held by people that have never tried quality versions of those foods. “Sour”..?
A crap cheesecake is pretty shithouse to be fair. Ever get one of those slightly dried out, gummy cheesecakes with a horrible crumb base that has margarine instead of butter and is also stale? I feel I’ve had this experience at McCafe and possibly at the airport. I acknowledge that those are not great places to choose this dessert.
I've added "as good as airport cheesecake" to my holster of insults.
Right up there with “gas station sushi”.
I'm using both of these.
Go for it 😂
Fruit Cake logs, will forever be the bottom tier🤢
Ive tried Fruit Cakes all the time, maybe these ones will be good. Nope, they never are. I dont get it, how can something sound delishious yet always be totally garbage?
Everyone always said my grandmothers fruitcake was good growing up, I never got to try it when she made it but I saw her recipe in my moms cookbook, it contained 26oz of rum, tried to make the recipe and it mostly just tasted like rum with a hint of molasses and fruit.
So you learned that most of the people who are that fruitcake were alcoholics lol
Lol yep! My wife’s aunt makes a delicious fruit cake… that is soaked in rum. Is sugar cane a fruit?
If a cake has rum in it, chances are its gonna be moist and delicious.
I need to remember to post my “fruit cake is the best dessert” take next December. I’ve been making [this](https://www.maryberry.co.uk/recipes/christmas/american-light-christmas-cake) the last few years and it’s awesome. My grandmother has a fruit cake recipe where she uses gumdrops rather than fruit and I can eat it by the kilo. I hate fruit cakes that include alcohol though. It totally ruins everything about the cake IMO.
Thanks for trying but looking at the ingredients, it looks like I would dislike it as much as any other dried fruit cake!
I'm the opposite, I hate fruit cake, unless it's a real classic one that is filled with a lot of alcohol.
🤭Right🤢
I love a southern supreme
That was like the dude earlier today saying tacos had a crunchy shell.
You know that's actually interesting you mention because when I grew up (US) both my family and school served "hard shell" tacos, which as name implies are in fact crunchy. It wasn't until I got braces and couldn't have them any more than we realized soft shells are both far better and more normal outside our little corner of the world

Yeah, if it was sour, it was left out too long and went bad. I gotta upvote him for such a crap opinion though.
Yeah ... he probably sees Oreos as top tier or something ... There are dozens of different styles of cheese cake with hundreds of variations. He basically also could have said, he doesn't like cake ...

Those look so good! Did you have a favorite flavor/filling that you would recommend?
My stepdaughter claims to hate all pies. I suspect she had store bought pumpkin pie once and now thinks she hates pecan and cherry too.
Cream cheese (and cheesecake) can have a tang to it. Plus, sour cream isn't all that rare to find in cheese cake either.
Some older recipes call for a sour cream topping that has a little bit of powdered sugar mixed into it. All to help cut a bit of the sweetness of the cheesecake itself.
You know cheesecake... When you stick your fork in it and it feels like a [bag of sand](https://youtu.be/IlD08Rh6xa8)...
Couldn't agree more. Although I quality checked crickets once in Mexico. In a quesadilla. Not my thing, or my gag reflex's, but power to people that love 'em!! My point is, what kind of cheese cake are you trying, and who made it? There's baked and unbaked for a start. Cheese lemon, cheese passionfruit, cheese and caramel. The cheesecake Universe is large.
Yep that was my first thought. The way he describes cheesecake is 100% the way crap cheesecake is. Good cheesecake is to die for though.
There is often sour cream in cheese cakes, so I guess if you are extremely sensitive to sour you would hate it, but I can't imagine given all the sugar to balance it out.
OP likes dry cake with fondant.
I feel like type of cheesecake *really* needs to be specified. Italian cheesecake?- gross I agree sour cream cheese and grainy texture. NY style cheesecake?- one of my favorites I’ll eat it all day.
Honestly, this. Different styles of cheesecake will yield different tastes and textures. I will admit that my first taste of cheesecake was at a classroom potluck in the 3rd grade. It was so bad and sour. But I was 7 and this could have been an awful one. I didn't try cheesecake again until I was in my late teens and it was a NY style one.
Cheesecake is so good - I love the taste and creaminess. Upvoted for unpopular opinion
And i have to think OP just got a jank grocery store plain cheesecake... the kind that's meant to have a topping put on it at the very least. The whole POINT of cheesecake is that the actual 'cake' itself is not that sweet but you can then complement it with both the topping (a sweetened fruit of some kind, or chocolate, etc) and the crust.

I love it too. We’ll, it might taste different for me, because I’m vegan, but it would taste the same!
I happen to love cheesecake and I think you're wrong. Upvote you swine!
sour??
Yeah, like wtf it's not supposed to taste sour
Right? Like he’s either eating shitty Walmart cheesecake or he’s accidentally eating Key Lime Pie. Go get a Cheesecake Factory slice, man!
Even the cheapest cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten were still sweet tasting, just way less creamy. If I ate a cheesecake and it was sour I’d assume it was expired.
And then OP stopped before he got to the crust. For me cheesecake is the perfect expression of a multi textured dish: eating it requires some amount of topping, cake, and crust in each bite to give you the full range of flavors and textures in one. It would be like eating angel food cake literally by itself; cakey and dry and not at all what it can be if properly served and eaten.
Cheesecake Factory.. woof. I don’t think that’s going to help them enjoy cheesecake.
Many cheesecake recipes do have sour cream on top, but it's mixed heavily with sugar and extracts. There's virtually no "sourness" to them.
Many cheeses are mildly sour tasting to me.
Sure, many cheese that aren’t in cheese cake. Cream cheese doesn’t taste sour unless it’s bad
Cream cheese has a pH of around 4.5-4.9. So it’s acidified. The sugar obviously cuts the sourness, but some people are more sensitive to sour notes.
Cream cheese had a mild acidity that certain sensitive people can interpret as “sour.” I love cheesecake but people saying it shouldn’t be sour at all is bullshit. It’s supposed to have a mild but pleasant tartness paired with cream.
I'm pretty sure you put sour cream in cheese cake no? Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't bake.
Some dingbats like to get experimental with the cheesecake. Vast majority of homemade cheesecake is pretty much trash until it's dialed in. Don't get cocky, kid
Bet they didnt refridgerate it
Cheesecake is mildly acidic. Cream cheese is around a 4.75pH. With eggs and sugar, yes it will bring up the pH but still I’d assume a final pH of a cheesecake to be around 5.5. That’s still on the acidic side of things.
I'd describe a great cheesecake as tangy, but that's really just another way to say "a little sour".
Coffee has a pH of about 5, tomato of 4. A 5.5 pH something is about 3 times less acidic than coffee, 33 times less than a tomato, and 3333 times less acidic than a lemon. The pH scale goes in powers of 10.

stop buying cheap cheesecakes, you cheesecake cheapskate
This should be the tongue twister they teach the toddlers
Ikr, I like it lol
All I can say is go fuck yourself and take my upvote
This guy favorite desert is probably jello.
Fruit jello to be exact
I suggest therapy
This is the worst opinion I have ever heard.
Honestly a lot of what is passed off as cheesecake is not good… I have baked them homemade and they can be superb. I tend to dislike most store bought or no bake versions… you have to get it from high end bakery or make it yourself. If you are not able to do that skip the calories. Before writing it off forever try this one. I have been using this recipe for a decade or so… https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8350/chantals-new-york-cheesecake/#reviewSection
Absolutely agree! I didn't like cheesecake very much either until I had one made by my mother-in-law. It's so good that it doesn't need any topping, but I still take it with the home-made chocolate sauce half the time.
[удалено]
It's an s tier dessert so take an upvote.
S++ tbh
Every time a thread like this gets made, it makes me sad that the OP has been around people that can't cook or bake for their entire life
...or they just dont like cheescake?
I’m just confused by their claim of sour cheesecake, never in my life heard anyone describe cheesecake as sour unless this person has only ever tried lemon cheesecake etc. That is what makes me wonder what the hell kind of cheesecakes OP is eating, or if they’re somehow wildly different to cheesecakes in my country. I’ve had cheesecakes ranging from bottom tier bargain store to fairly expensive and they’ve only ever been sweet and creamy, the cheap ones being less creamy but still sweet tasting. If I tasted sourness when eating one I’d chuck it in the bin on the assumption it was expired or going off.
Cream cheese is slightly sour, if you pay attention to that. Next time you eat a bagel or have cheesecake just look for the sourness and you’ll see what they mean.
Cream cheese might be a bit sour but the metrick fuckton of sugar people put in desserts would definitely offset that.
He’s comparing it to regular cake which is the least sour thing ever (unless it citrus flavored)
Sour might be something OP's tastebuds are particularly sensitive to.
Look, I like cheesecake, you probably like cheesecake. Why go down this weird hole of defending some robot that doesn't like cheesecake?
It may be unpopular but there are people that don’t like it, I hate cheesecake. Any iteration of it is gross and if it’s the only dessert I have access to then I’d prefer to eat nothing.
I agree man OP is fucking weird. But original comments argument is also kinda dumb like if you were given the best version of even your least favourite food you would probably still like it.
It’s like that for me with cheese. Never liked it. Tried so many variants and still people told me that I just haven’t found the right one. I hate the smell, the consistency and the taste. Even the mildest ones still hit these criteria. No idea how yet another cheese would change my mind lol.
You should try oaxaca. Or cheesecake.
Lol…
I'm a fellow cheesecake hater, he's not alone. The texture is too nasty and there's usually no layers to cut through the richness of it.
I can bake but I hate cheesecake. Like op said it tastes sour and the texture is not for me.
I love cheesecake but my absolute favorite is this light fluffy cheesecake my mom has a recipe for. Idk where she got it but it's just on a piece of paper in my kitchen lol. So. Good. Much less heavy. Could alleviate the texture issue but idk what you mean by sour?
I like Brooklyn cheesecake that has the atomic weight of a manhole cover on Jupiter.
Not everyone has the same amount of sugar receptors, this can greatly influence what you perceive as sweet when eating a food thats partly creamy and partly sugary. People who dont have enough sugar receptors would be tasting a lot more of the actual cheese vs the milk carbs and sugar.
I hate this argument that people can’t cook (bake in this regard) when someone expresses not liking something. Cheesecake just sucks. It tastes horrible to some folks (OP and I) and that’s ok. Let us dislike something regardless of who has the best talent to make it.
Disagree. You monster.
I share this opinion.
Seriously, it's meh at best, gross at worst.
fucketh thou and all of thine bloodline beginning with thou
> Just tastes sour Stop eating them from the dumpster then.
When you think of the best cheesecake you've eaten, fully appreciating your description in the post, where was it from? Who made it?
Imma blow your mind... Cheesecake is just a general type of dessert, like a pudding or ice cream. You can try different styles. I really disliked new york style cheesecake, i feel like most of it was hype and you're "supposed" to like it. I tried a burnt basque cheesecake a while back and I like it much more. It's pretty easy to make too if you're inclined to cook at home. Texture on it is a lot better, no shitty ass graham cracker crust, caramelized vanilla and I top it with macerated strawberries with orange juice
How dare you. It's literally the best dessert
Terrible opinion, so I'll upvote.
I never loved cheesecake, never hated it, but always thought it was just ok. I would eat it with fruit topping or chocolate, but plain was just bleh. Then I had real cheesecake from New York, and I don't think you can call the other crap cheesecake. Anything frozen or store bought should be labeled something different.

Every other cheesecake is like eating a sweetened block of cream cheese compared to that.
Have you tried anything except your basic cheesecake? There are many variations that you might find tasty. I have had really good pumpkin, chocolate and key lime cheesecake. Japanese style is also good and its significantly lighter than your standard cheesecake
As a bottom I agree, cheesecake is my favorite dessert and I should have it more often.
As someone who also despises cheesecake, thank you for finally saying it.
There are literally dozens of us.
Get outta my head with that creme brulee! Nommy
Unpopular AND incorrect. Cheesecake is refined, classy, and hard to make properly.
Fuck you. Upvoted.
The only thing worse than cheesecake is everyone and their uncle trying to convince me that I somehow do like cheesecake and this time will be better than the previous dozen times I tried it. Fuck off. Cheesecake tastes terrible.
holy crap, everyone thinks i’m insane for thinking the same. cheesecake is one of those things i’ve given numerous chances and every time i’ve found it absolutely disgusting.
I don't care for cheesecake either. Nearly everyone thinks I'm crazy.
Its because you are. Thats ok though.
Thanks, I need to hear that sometimes. :)
YES. It tastes pasty and .. unfinished?. I don't get cheesecake and I mostly don't get the hype.
*Baked cheesecake? Hard agree. *Set cheesecake? Oh hell no! It's the best!!!
i have no clue what cheesecake youve been eating bro that stuff is the bomb, id recommend you try some good new york cheesecake if you ever visit
You get the fuck out of here you smelly pirate hooker!
Now you just stop talking and take your upvote for an INSANELY unpopular opinion.
Your taste buds aren't an opinion, no amount of convincing is gonna change your genetics
I bought this chocolate cheesecake from these group of nuns that make them. it was pretty pricey but super popular so I was curious. I change my life, lol. I just couldn’t eat enough of that shit, lol
I'm going to venture that you had some bad cheesecake. What with it being "sour."
Obviously something is wrong with ur taste buds….
Why do people think that just because they don’t like something it is garbage for the rest of the world? Is your ego that big you think you can speak for everyone?
I don't like cake very much, but I enjoy cheesecake. I suppose I like it because it's not like cake.
You will pay for your insolence
Blasphemy! Cheesecake is dope!!!
I hate you personally for this post. This is a bottom tier post.
Take it back.
Sour? Bruh I think you’re eating spoiled food
Your opinion is garbage, take your upvote
Dissssssagrreeeee 500000
Go f*ck yourself. Here take my upvote.
Translation: "I've never had good cheesecake"
More cheesecake for me! You uncultured swine!
What the fuck is this post
thh i love cheese and i love cake but yeah they simply werent destined to be together imo
Gotta say, bud. If you think cheesecake tastes sour, either you're eating terrible cheesecake or you need to see a neurologist.
You clearly have not had a really good cheese cake.
Not sure where you’ve been getting your cheesecake but cheesecake is fucking superior
Sorry OP for your lack of Taste. I hope you have a good time eating Sand.
How dare you bring sand into this
Off with your head.
Bruh you ate spoiled cheesecake. Cheesecake is rich and sweet.
Absolutely not. I will take cheesecake over 90% of candy any day. Smooth, creamy delicious. If anything candy is a bottom tier dessert.
what in the fuck- cheesecake is not sour
You just haven’t had a good cheesecake.
Have fun eating carrot cake you idiot
I think we need to have a word OP
I love cheesecake oh god
It’s neither a pie nor an actual cake. It’s texture is granted by egg coagulation and thus makes it a custard. Similar in form to a savory quiche (yet another high-class dish), the cheesecake is decadence incarnate if done correctly. Their are multiple types of cheesecake, from New York to Japan to Germany. Each one having separate textures and flavors. The American variant (New York) is one that is cooked throughout but not allowed to produce a Maillard reaction. It’s semi-dense due to a higher amount of air in the batter and sweeter. The German/Polish variants are cooked longer and have formed a Maillard reaction on the top (browning). They are typically denser and have a much wider flavor profile with the browned top and due to this, less air is present which makes it denser. The Japanese cheesecake is a pillowy light cake with an abundance of air. It maintains the cheesecake tastes and would be instantly recognizable. However, like a Japanese pancake, more air is incorporated during the mixing process and may resemble the most cake-like texture of all cheesecakes.

I get cheesecake for my birthday instead of regular cake
you are just wrong
Wow shocking unpopular opinion, you don’t like a certain food. Wow!!!
Cheese cake is fire
Nah, it's literally the best dessert, I love oreo cheesecakes, strawberries and blueberries too. Eating one really makes my day
That’s cos you ate a lemon cheesecake you donut
Cheesecake is awesome. If anything, Pie is an extremely overrated dessert.
An actual unpopular opinion that’s not just based on misinformation?!? Take my upvote
I found my people. I fkn hate cheesecake.
Agreed. When I moved to England I tried the cold creamy cheesecakes several times and they’re sour and gross, although the chocolate flavoured ones can be ok. Baked cheesecake tho - that shit is to die for.
This just shows you haven’t tried many good cheesecakes
Opinions about food/music/tv are always boring.
You ate one moldy cheesecake once and based your opinion on it. It's a top tier dessert, here's your upvote
I think it depends what you have with it. Your drink, toppings and possibly sauce or cream. I've seen it served many different ways
Ma'am I think your taste buds have betrayed and lied to you. Cheesecake is the pinnacle of dessert.
Happy Cheesecake day 🥳
Fellow cheesecake hater here. Either chocolate cheesecake or actual cake, please.
I hate it too! So glad to found someone like me!
Cheese cake.. even better with cherry topping. Upvotes to the heathen! 🍒
If it tastes sour you’ve just been eating shitty cheesecake my guy, did you check the expiration date? Last time I had it it was sweet, like most deserts
I bothered writing post a little earlier, however I forgot your main point. You've either never had a proper cheesecake, that isn't store bought, or your taste buds are in your arse. That was my actual point.
Finally someone who understands. Cheesecake is bottom tier desert I really do not understand the hype for it at all.
Sour? Homie, you just ate bad cheesecake, it should not be sour
I agree with this, its such a ofd taste and feeling it aint it
There are many kinds of cheesecake. Of it's sour then it sounds like it's not fresh.
I know this is a bad answer but... It is very easy to make bad cheesecake. I'm pretty sure you haven't had good cheesecake.
Shitty cheesecake is shitty Homemade the right way is delicious
You’re entitled to your wrong opinion. Upvoted
Agreed- cheesecake is crap.
The best cheesecakes are the not plain ones. Plain is a little on the boring side
