You Might Be Surprised That Your Adored Snack Is Of Italian Beginning

We all know that the core constituent of Tiramisu is Lady Fingers or finger-shaped sponge cakes dipped in a concoction of coffee, sugar and rum, zambaliogne custard, chocolate, and espresso coffee. Apparently, it has become a noted dessert worldwide. But chances are, not everybody has an inkling of its origin or why is it called that way. As a matter of fact, I'm one of those blokes who haven't got a lead about it. All I care about is to eat this sweet dessert whenever I clasp a delightful break to have it in my plate.

After some inquiry and hanging out in New York's Little Italy, I learned that what I first thought was Japanese turned out to be Italian in origin, but when and where in Italy, it still remains in doubt. Some say it originally appeared in 18th century Venice, while others say that it was during World War I in the northern part of Italy. These prior convictions only prove that Tiramisu is a notable snack.

Another noteworthy thing about Tiramisu is that now, more and more restaurants are offering it and even have particular versions of the said dessert. The question is, however, will those variations be better than the precursor? Maybe I should set out tripping from one restaurant to the other for taste tests and then see it for myself.
