not counting gelato, of course, is New York style cheesecake !  Cheesecake made with Philadelphia cream cheese   Not ricotta. Philadelphia cream cheese.

.

It is on the menu at all the eating establishments: ristorante, osterie, trattorie, and Philadelphia cream cheese is readily available in all food stores.

I would imagine this is how it felt in the U.K. when tea took over.

It just feels so wrong.

But it tastes very good.
