The origin of Tiramisu
Version 1
There are many different stories about the origin of Tiramisu. It is a warm saying that an Italian soldier is about to go to war, but there is nothing at home. In order to prepare dry food for him, his loving wife puts all the biscuits and bread that can be eaten at home into a cake, which is called Tiramisu. Whenever the soldier eats Tiramisu on the battlefield, he will think of his home and his beloved ... Tiramisu, in Italian, has the meaning of "take me away", taking away not only delicious food, but also love and happiness. A layer of lady finger soaked with Espresso coffee and wine (Masala, Rum or Brandy), which is similar in texture to sponge cake, and a layer of cheese paste mixed with Mascar ponecheese (the most suitable cheese specially used for making Tiramisu), eggs, whipped cream and sugar are stacked on top of each other and sprinkled with a thin layer of cocoa powder ... This is Tiramisu.
Version II
Other versions are more interesting. First, it originated in Siena, Tuscany province in western Italy. In the 19th century, Duke Medici visited Siena and fell in love with a local mushy dessert. Residents named it "zuppa del duca" to commemorate it. 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 as "the sweet soup of the Englishman", and brought it back to Britain to catch up with Italy. Siena's desserts also spread to Treviso and Venice, big cities in northeast Italy. Today, these two cities are most famous for their canals, murals and Tiramisu, but there is a fault in explanation of how the "Duke's Sweet Soup" evolved into Tiramisu.
Version 3
Another statement is inconceivable, saying that the residents of Treviso do not believe that tiramisu's predecessor was called "Duke's Sweet Soup", but firmly believe that Tiramisu is a traditional dessert in Treviso and Venice, and the Italian pronunciation of Tiramisu is "stimulant or refreshing agent" (note: pick-me-up in English), and the formula contains concentrated caffeine. It is said that when it was first introduced to Venice, it was especially loved by high-class prostitutes in the upper-class social circle, and it became a refreshing gift for prostitutes in the brothel upstairs of the restaurant "Le Beccherie" in the past. In the old days, prostitutes in Venice would take a few bites of tiramisu before receiving guests to improve their "sexuality". But no matter what the legend is, for most fans of Tiramisu, it does not affect their position in their minds at all.
