Wife and I both due to retire in a couple of years, just before turning 59. We like gardening, and the waiting list for an allotment melted away so has come two years early. We are thinking of things to do to keep brains active during retirement. I have two things I would like to do while we have energy throughout our sixties. One is to visit every cathedral city / town in the UK. The other is to visit every museum on the top 100 most visited list. Has any FIREd person done something similar? Am I missing similar "collectible" attractions that retired people might enjoy?

Why would anyone want that Cream cheese filling (or whatever it is) in their dessert. Isn't dessert supposed to be sweet? I know it's sweet but either has that cream cheese flavour (I like cream cheese in savoury foods) or it's either too sweet. I Don't Want More Sweetness in cheesecake, I just haven't had one with the right balance of flavours. And i have tried quite a variety but still don't like it.

Also its texture is extremely weird, and dense. Also it is objectively one of the least healthy desserts, if we consider the calories and saturated fat.

The only bearable cheesecake flavour is blueberry cheesecake.

It is very overrated and does not deserve to be called a dessert. (and this is just my opinion, does not make cheesecake objectively bad)

Edit: Worst luck ever, My mom's birthday today, and dad bought a whole cheesecake (and i Have to eat one slice, or it's disrespectful according to them)

Also clarification, I know cheesecake can be sweet, but I just don't get the concept of cream cheese in dessert, even if fruits and sugar are added. I do love tangy flavours in desserts tho. That's why I said blueberry is bearable, because it's a bit tangy.

And for the unhealthy aspect, I agree that dessert isn't supposed to be healthy at all, but a lot of cheesecake can't be eaten in one sitting (not more than 2 bites), because it's heavy and also unhealthy.

Maybe I haven't had a good one yet. But for now, my opinion stands unchanged. Cheesecake is the worst.
