You
should maybe warn them if it is a SAVOURY Cheesecake. Where I am from,
cheesecake is a sweet, decadent dessert. Period. You can have baked or
non-baked; you can have plain cheesecake or fruity or chocolaty or caramelly
goodness; you can then have a million options of cheesecake toppings.
Savoury cheesecake is not the norm for me.
So when someone offers me a piece of cheesecake, “Do you want a piece of cheesecake?” I assume dessert. I assume sweet. I assume NOT BLUE CHEESE.
This little bit of trickery, I truly believe, was not intentional. As the person who handed it to me left the room before I tried the cheesecake. The cheesecake was topped with Apricot jam. I saw the fruit and I thought, plain cheesecake topped with Apricot. Yum! WRONG. I barely got the first bite into my mouth when my taste buds took a football to the groin. I have been informed it’s still considered a dessert to which I say that’s a blatant lie!
I do not like blue cheese. I have never liked blue cheese. I often try things I don’t like periodically just to see if my taste buds have changed and sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Blue cheese is one of those items (along with mushrooms and green beans. I dunno why, but I still don’t like them) that I still do not like.
(Yes, I see the irony in my first "Snob-Free-Foodie" post that I am a blue cheese snob. hahaha)

Yuck! I'm with you. I am also not a fan of blue cheese. By the way, I love your 'about me.' It's so much more interesting than mine. I keep saying I'm going to tweak mine a little, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
