I have to admit it’s not my favorite - way too heavy and tastes to me like eating a hunk of Philadelphia Cream Cheese straight out of the foil packet.

Family loves it though - so I’ll buy them the bite-size pieces that my local market sells - and I can stay on my diet while they enjoy their cheese cake.

The Ancient Greek physician Aegimus apparently invented cheesecake
- which was called “Plakountas” in 776 B.C..
It was served to the Olympic athletes at the very first Olympic Games.

And this link takes you to the recipe for it. It’s got lots of honey and bay leaves of all things.
Sounds interesting.
