The Mysterious Origins of Italy's Tasty " Pick Me ip "

   Tliramisu is a simple Italian dessert enjoyed by many people around the world. It has six basic ingredients: ladyfinger biscuits, mascarpone, eggs, coffee, cocoa powder, and sugar. However, compared to its simple ingredients, it has a much-debated origin.

   The origin of tiramisu has always been obscure. Some say that the dessert made its first appearance in the 1700s in Siena, where it was served to a Grand Duke. Others say it was invented sometime in the late 1800s in Treviso. Still others claim it debuted in the 19th century in Florence as an exclusive dessert for the intellectuals and artistic elite .

   Regarding the dessert's modern revival, there are two potentialo inventors. Some credit Speranza Garatti as the creator. In the 1960s, she made a version of the dessert, which she called coppa imperiale. Others credit her friend Ado Campeol, also known as the "father of tiramisu" by the Italian press. He used her version as inspirations for his own and sold it in his restaurant in Treviso. He renamed it tiramisu, meaning "pick me up" or "cheer me up" in Italian, since he hoped to cheer his customers up. For a while, it seemed that Treviso was the dessert's birthplace. 

    All that changed when a handwritten recipe for tiramisu dating back to 1959 was found in the Friuli region of Italy. The author was a chef named Norma Pielli, who had served it to guests at a hotel. In 2017, the government of Italy declared tiramisu a traditional regional product of Friuli, much to the outrage of proud Treviso residents .

    Whether it is the original version or even a vegan adaptation, tiramisu has become a world-famous sweet. Though we might not know for sure where tiramisu came from, we can still enjoy it as a delicious dessert.

提拉米蘇的身世之謎

   提拉米蘇是一道受全世界許多人喜愛的義大利甜點。它有六項基本的原料:手指餅乾、馬斯卡彭乳酪、蛋、咖啡、可可粉以及糖。但是,與它簡單的原料相比,他的起源眾說紛紜。

提拉米蘇的起源一直都模糊不清。有人說這道甜點在1700年代的西恩納初次亮相,當時它被供應給一位大公爵。另有人說它是在1800年代晚期的某個時間點在特雷索被發明。有人宣稱它在十九世紀的佛羅倫斯初登場,是一道專屬知識分子和菁英分子的甜點。

   關於這道甜點現代的復興,有兩位可能的發明者。有人認為斯佩蘭薩.加蒂製作者。在90年代,她製作了一種版本的提拉米蘇並稱之為copaime有人則將之歸功於她的朋友阿多·坎佩爾,他又被義大利媒體稱為「提拉米蘇之父」他她的版本為靈感製作出自己

的版本,並在自己位於特雷維索的餐廳販售。他重新將該甜點命名為提拉米蘇,義大利文的意思是「帶我走」或「勵我」,因為他希望能鼓舞他的顧客。有一陣子,特雷維索似乎就是這道甜點的發源地了。

    這一切在一本可追溯至 1959 年的手寫於大利佛里烏利被發現時全都變了。作者是一位名為NormaPi廚師,他供應提拉米蘇給飯店的客人。在20年時,義大利政府宣布提拉米蘇是佛里烏利傳統的地區產物,引以為傲的特雷維索居民為此忿忿不平。

     不論是原始版本或是素食改良版,提拉米蘇已成為全球知名的甜點。雖然我們可能無法確定提拉米蘇來自何處,但我們仍然能夠享受這道美味的甜點。
