W.J. Rayment on Cheesecake Manners
Yes Cheesecake Has It's Own Set of Manners!
Cheesecake is the all American dessert or maybe the all Wisconsin dessert. When cheesecake is given it usually has optional topings: raspberries, cherries, blueberriies, and even lemon. But if you are offered cheesecake without this kind of topping, what do you do? Do you eat it plain and dry just to make the host happy? or do you jump out of your chair and search your host's refrigerator for some lemon!

- Around the Midwest, cheesecake is usually topped w/ chocolate or strawberries. Shawn should have eaten the cheesecake plain until the cook was actually his mother in law. Small gaffe which he'll never hear the end of as our resident Master of Manners can attest to.
