Cheesecake- a Brief History of the Worlds Greatest Dessert

It is said that the Greeks served it to the athletes after the first Olympic Games. So, it's a good choice for your Olympic and even your Super Bowl parties. You can entertain your guests with everything that you know about the history of cheesecake and why it's appropriate for athletes.

 Although the nutritional content varies, it is not unusual to see six grams of protein per slice. By comparison, a slice of Boston cream pie contains only two grams of protein per serving. If you're worried about sugar or carbohydrates, cheesecakes can be delicious without adding sugar or using flour.

 Of course, it's really difficult to make them at home, even if you're an excellent chef. It's easier and actually more economical to order one and have it delivered in time for the party.

 Do you find the different varieties confusing? Here's a quick rundown. The most popular cheesecakes in America are New York style. This recipe combines heavy cream, cream cheese, eggs and egg yolks for added richness and a smooth consistency. Cottage cheese is sometimes added and lemon is often used for flavoring. True NY style has no crust. The outer edges are baked to a light golden brown, the interior is light and creamy. Only a hint of lemon is added for flavoring.

 British and Australian

 They don't bake or cook their cheesecake. It's made by mixing soft cheese, sugar cream and gelatin. The mixture is chilled till it sets and served cold. Sometimes, chocolate, Irish cream or raspberry is added for flavoring.

 Italian

 Italian style is based on the old Roman cheesecakes, which called for the use of honey, ricotta, flour and bay leaves. The modern recipes uses sugar instead of honey, omit the bay leaves and add vanilla extract for flavoring.

 French

 Neufchatel cheese provides the flavoring for the French style. It's appealing to some, but not to others, as the taste is stronger and vaguely reminiscent of mushrooms.

 In the US, the equivalent of Neufchatel is known as "Farmer's cheese". You are likely to see some varieties, such as Pennsylvania Dutch, that list this ingredient, instead of cream cheese.

 Added Flavors

Fruits, nuts and chocolate slivers are often used as toppings, as well as the more traditional sour cream topping that many of us are used to. Other flavorings, such as pumpkin and spice can be added to the cake itself.

 You can get crust or no crust varieties. It's a very flexible dessert that can be tailored to suit anyone's taste buds. One popular choice, particularly for parties, is the "sampler" cake. At www.cheesecakedelivered.com, for example, you can order a sampler with two slices of nine differently flavored cheesecakes. What more could anyone ask for?

Irish Cream $6.99 Countless readers have been delighted by Father Andrew M. Greeley's bestselling tales of Nuala Anne McGrail, a fey, Irish-speaking woman from Galway blessed with the gift of second sight and a knack for unraveling mysteries, and her hapless husband and accomplice, Dermot Michael Coyne. From Irish Gold through Irish Stew! this spirited couple has untangled many a knotty mystery, both at home in Chicago and back in Erin. Now they return in another captivating blend of romance, humor, and intrigue. Damian "Day" O'Sullivan is a troubled young man who blames himself for a tragic vehicular homicide he may not have committed. Trouble is, Day's entire family seems to be conspiring to pin the crime on the poor lad, which only leads Nuala and Dermot to wonder who really ran over (three times!) Rodney Keefe in the parking lot of a ritzy Chicago country club. The O'Sullivans are a ruthlessly ambitious clan of South Side Irish, who consider themselves the cream of the Irish-American community. The sensitive Day has always been something of a black sheep in the family---and perhaps a scapegoat as well. But the twisted saga of the O'Sullivans isn't the only mystery to be unraveled. Having stumbled onto the diary of Father Richard Lonigan, a nineteenth-century parish priest assigned to a remote village in old Donegal, Dermot and Nuala find themselves caught up in the closely guarded secrets and scandals of that desolate time and place, where simmering resentment against the ruling English sometimes erupted into violence and murder.... Irish Cream is another rich and satisfying concoction by one of America's most popular storytellers.

Arthur Guinness started his stout, or porter as it was then called, business in 1759 using an inheritance of what would be $150 US by today's standards. More incredibly, he signed a 9,000 year lease on a run down brewery now known as St. James Gate in Dublin. The original rent on the lease was about $70 per year and Arthur Guinness sought such long lease to ensure there was always a supply of of the essential resource for brewing stout - water. By 1930, nearly one out of every ten Dublin men depended on the Guinness brewery directly or indirectly to earn their livelihood. In addition, Arthur and his successors set the Guinness -employee standard of living well above local expectations at the time. Wages were between 10% and 20% above the average in Dublin, and paid vacations, free medical care, homes and education were all provided. And to top it off, workers received free Guinness to drink every day. Guinness is a great Irish beer with an intriguing history.
