Best Cheesecake

[Lurker]

Try giving cheesecakes at a kiddish for men instead of kugel, herring, and cholent and come back to me.

Cheesecake is the only excuse for parve cholent.

Hardly an excuse

Funny, but unless you’re having cholent at 8am and again at 1pm…

Incidentally, my brisket finished in the crock pot at 8am YomTov morning and it looked and smelled so delicious that I was tempted to dig in.

A proper Lubavitcher would probably have a milchig meal, wait an hour, and have a fleishig meal.

His geder of hard cheese is not the same as his quote from R Aharon.

Nobody eats cheese worms these days. In the past they were considered a delicacy.

Any historical basis for this? Was the cheese back in the day, that the Poskim clearly had, truly harder than all our cheeses?

Many poskim point to the fact that גבינה קשה is determined by the acharonim either by being aged for six months or if it contains worms, which most of our cheeses don't fall under neither category. See for example the ערוך השלחן below.
