In the original Italian text, Tira means "lift and pull", Mi means "me" and su means "pull me up". Another explanation is "take me away" and "remember me". They take away not only delicious food, but also love and happiness.
history
A detailed study of its historical origin can be traced back to17th century, a dessert named "Zu Padel Duka" or "Zupa Ingersale" in northwest Italy, but the real Tiramisu did not appear in the northwest of Venice, Italy until the 1960s. Locals use mascarpone cheese as the main ingredient, and then use lady finger instead of sponge cake as a traditional dessert, adding coffee, cocoa powder and other elements. The recipe is very simple, but it combines the unique flavors of cheese, coffee and wine, and mercilessly steals the limelight of cheesecake. Sweet and bitter, like angels and demons, are combined in harmony and conflict.
Version 1
There are many different stories about the origin of Tiramisu. The sweeter story is that an Italian soldier is about to go to the battlefield, but there is nothing at home. In order to prepare dry food for him, his wife who loves him makes cakes out of all the biscuits and bread that can be eaten at home. This kind of cake is called Tiramisu. Whenever a soldier eats Tiramisu on the battlefield, he will think of his home and his beloved family.
Version 2
Other versions are more interesting. First of all, it originated in Siena in western Italy and Tuscany in the south. In the19th century, the Duke of Medici visited Siena and fell in love with the local mushy dessert. Residents named this dessert "zuppa del duca" as a souvenir. Later, the Duke of Italy introduced dessert to Florence in the north, which immediately became the favorite of British intellectuals stationed there, and was renamed "Sweet Soup for the British" and brought back to Britain, where it was very popular. Siena's desserts also spread to treviso and Venezia, big cities in northeastern Italy. Today, these two cities are famous for their canals, murals and Tiramisu, but there is a mistake in explaining how the "Duke's Sweet Soup" evolved into Tiramisu.
Version 3
Another statement is incredible, saying that treviso residents do not believe that Tiramisu's predecessor was called "Duke Sweet Soup", but firmly believe that Tiramisu is a traditional dessert in treviso and Venice. The Italian pronunciation of "Tiramisu" is "stimulant or refreshing agent" (note: English pick-me-up), and the caffeinated espresso mixed with cocoa in the formula brings a touch of excitement. It is said that when it was first introduced to Venice, it was especially loved by high-class prostitutes in upper-class social circles, and it became a refreshing gift for prostitutes in the brothel upstairs in the restaurant "Le Beccherie" in the past. In the past, prostitutes in Venice would take a few bites of tiramisu before receiving guests to improve their "sexual desire". But no matter what the legend is, for most Tiramisu fans, it doesn't affect their status in their minds at all.
Version 4
This version is more like a fairy tale. A boy named Fvan fell in love with a girl named Joe. The boy firmly believes that the "Tiramisu" cake with a name similar to Tianned will bring him good luck. So he spent many days and nights making a very delicate cake according to Tiramisu's method and named it "Love of Tiramisu". After that, the girl ate the cake and felt deep love. Finally married a boy. After that, the story spread widely in towns and villages. Tiramisu cake has become synonymous with love and affection. Until today. When the sweetness of Tiramisu lingers in the girl's mouth, I believe it will be extremely sweet in my heart.
