While a gateau de fromage is a suitable translation for cheesecake in French, in Spanish Gato del queso is actually a cat made of cheese.

Believe it, or not!

Wouldn't it be a gâteau AU fromage?

Would it? My French requires a tetanus shot for save use.

My French is so rusty, I can't remember.

There's a tub of cheesecake ice cream in my freezer. I'll check the label when I get home.

Hiho,

Most menus au Quebec just use "Gateau Fromage", iirc.

Cu,

You, btw, need to turn your picture of a cat being vaccuumed into a LOLcat.

Checked the ice cream tub, it does indeed say gâteau au fromage.

Any reason to check out a tub of cheesecake ice cream, I figure.
