Recently I have been making cheesecakes out of packets, something I can't get enought of. After reading the lowdown on them, some things came out in the wash. It was originally invented by a Greek called Aegimus in the 5th century BC, who was a physician & is creditied with being the first man to realise the pulse. Also there was rumour of the inventor living 200 years. They called their cheesecakes Libum & Placenta. My guess, is that if there is any element of truth about the long living thing, perhaps to steer clear of the packet ones... However they all taste good to me :)
