as an american, i only eat the most patriotic of snack foods 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍿🫡
europe loves to treat america like it's an untrademarked generic brand. it's funny (i'm not american 😔)
i think this is because america is the default country so it feels generic and screaming about it on the packaging won't really bring any associations with it, and at the same time the stars and stripes are just great motifs, no graphic designer can resist the urge to use them
@hikari I still haven’t figured out why everyone in europe calls it “new york” cheesecake. I never once heard it called that in the US, it’s … cheesecake, we have the same cheesecake everywhere in and out of new york
@0xabad1dea @hikari I've heard it (and seen it on packaging) but I've never been clear on what other types of cheesecake it's differentiated from
@0xabad1dea @hikari is it not a euphemism for Jewish–American cheesecake? (I had it at a Jewish deli on the New York–Connecticut border when I was visiting)
@h0m54r @0xabad1dea @hikari New York has more creamcheese and extra eggs and is blended with less aeration.
@0xabad1dea @hikari I’ve heard it called that in the US. I believe New York is always baked and very dense. And there are other styles like no-bake/rare, which is quite light in comparison.
@0xabad1dea @hikari Really! I’ve heard New York style cheesecake in Canada too
@misty @0xabad1dea @hikari oh New York style is also said in New York too
