Love and delicacy: the hometown of Tira Misu in Siena is the perfect match for coffee.

As a foodie, wherever you go, you will intentionally or unintentionally touch your travel destination and food, not to mention every little angel who goes to Italy for shopping, eating, shopping, and eating. how could you miss the hometown of Tira Misu, the most famous dessert in Italy?

After the Renaissance, the rapid development of Florence made Siena gradually forgotten. However, with the blue sky, bright sunshine, ancient buildings and tranquil alleys, when you set foot on this land, you will find that time seems to go back to the Middle Ages 600 years ago, where time freezes and slow life is happening.

Take me away

Tira Misu, transliteration of tiramisi, "Tira" means "lift, pull", "Mi" means "I", "sworn" means "up", that is, pick me up me up.

But I prefer another translation-take me away, according to the scientific explanation: the light excitement of caffeinated espresso in the formula resonates with cocoa, but it takes away not only delicacy, but also love and happiness.

A layer of finger biscuits soaked in Espresso coffee and wine resembles a sponge cake, a layer of cheese paste mixed with cheese, eggs, whipped cream and sugar, stacked one after another, and sprinkled with a thin layer of cocoa powder. This is Tira Misu.

The favours of a prostitute

As for Tira Misu, it is said that the cake was first born in the Le Beccherie restaurant in Treviso, the political district of Venito, Italy. On December 24, 1969, the then restaurant owner and his apprentice created the dessert in his bakery, and the apprentice's maiden name was "Tiramisu".

Moreover, it is not said that this cake can bring light excitement, so this cake has become a refreshing gift for prostitutes in the youth building above the "Le Beccherie" restaurant. At that time, it was especially loved by high-end prostitutes in the upper social circle. They would eat a few bites of Tira Misu before picking up guests, in order to improve their "sex" and get high!

Remember me

But the origin of such things as food is not important to foodie, as long as the story is good enough. There are many different opinions about the origin of Tira Misu, there is a more sentimental version, but just look at it, the reliability is almost zero!

It is said that during World War II, an Italian soldier was about to go to war, time was in a hurry, and his family was so poor that the bells rang. In order to prepare dry food for him, his wife had to hastily mix all the biscuits, bread and cocoa that could be eaten at home to make a crude and quick snack, that is, Tira Misu. And whenever soldiers eat Tira Misu on the battlefield, they will think of their loved ones in their family, so Tira Misu also means "remember me".

The reliability of this story is low because, if you think about it, even if preservatives are so popular in the food industry, our Tira Misu should not be placed for a long time, even more impossible at that time!

The original store has closed.

The most innovative part of Tira Misu's recipe is coffee-flavored cheese egg liquid, which became a hit in the dessert world in the mid-1980s, but is now available everywhere, not just for Italian restaurants. Its rich taste appeal is even absorbed by cakes, pudding and other forms of hot and cold desserts.

The good news is that Tira Misu's soft, multi-layered sweet and happy taste makes it a popular dessert around the world, so it can be found in bakeries of all sizes. It may taste a little different, but generally speaking, it will not be disappointed.

The bad news is that its founding store in Italy has lost its competitive advantage because it is so popular all over the world, while Tira Misu, who is in full swing, ended early in his hometown.
