For many people, a meal is only complete when there is dessert. Did you know that the tradition of finishing a meal with something sweet has its origins in France? The word âdessertâ emerged in the seventeenth century, derived from the French verb âdesservirâ which means âto clear the tableâ in English. Etiquette dictated that napkins and tablecloths be changed before the final course, which at the time, was a delicate fruit course. In a courtly context, the course itself was known as âle fruitâ, but the bourgeois renamed it âdessertâ. After the French Revolution, the aristocratic âfruitâ was fully replaced by âdessertâ. Like the word âdessertâ, the following sweet concoctions from around the world have fascinating origins which offer a glimpse into a countryâs past, reflecting the diverse traditions and stories of their homelands. Let us now uncover the sweet stories behind some of the worldâs most beloved desserts. These origins not only highlight the culture and creativity of their creators, but also celebrate the universal love for sweets that transcends borders and generations.
TIRAMISÃ
ORIGIN: ITALY
Tiramisù, which translates to "pick me up" in the Treviso dialect "tireme su", is a layered coffee-flavoured dessert that epitomises Italian culinary elegance. The combination of ladyfingers soaked in espresso, layered with mascarpone cheese and dusted with cocoa, has remained an international favourite since its popularisation in the 1980s. Yet, despite its decades-long international popularity, its origins and history are still widely disputed.
