The story or origin of various western desserts.

There are many different stories about the origin of Tiramisu. The sweeter story is that during World War II, an Italian soldier was about to go to the battlefield, but there was nothing at home. In order to prepare dry food for him, his wife, who loves him, made a cake out of all the biscuits and bread she could eat at home. This cake is called Tiramisu. Whenever a soldier eats Tiramisu on the battlefield, he will think of his home and his lover ... Tiramisu means "take me away" in Italian, taking not only delicious food, but also love and happiness. A layer of lady's fingers soaked in espresso and wine (Ma Sala, rum or brandy) is similar in texture to sponge cake, and a layer of cheese paste mixed with mascarpone cheese (the most suitable cheese for making tiramisu), eggs, whipped cream and sugar is stacked together, and a thin layer of cocoa powder is sprinkled ... This is tiramisu.

Other versions are more interesting. First of all, it originated in Siena, Tuscany province in western Italy. 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" to commemorate it. Later, the Duke of Italy introduced desserts 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 to catch up with Italy. 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.

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.
