Tiramisu...

[Mollie85]

(Lighthearted)

Aibu to think the tiramisu is the best dessert in the planet by miles? All that yummy squishy goodness, the marscapone, the shot of coffee, the taste of alcohol....

My family think I am strange. My mum said "we didn't raise you to like things like tiramisu". I think she thinks I have ideas above my station....
We were bought up on neon food - fishfingers, chips and angel delight.

In my 36 years on the planet I have only ever met one other who likes this manna, this taste from heaven. Conversely, she was Italian.

Any things you like and find yourself in the minority?

(Just at specialist waiting room and bored )

Sadly no - you get to bet on them though ...

thank you - we are coming back to Guernsey in the evening and doing the "posh meal" thing. Thankfully not a blow up Willy, L plate or flashing headband in sight. Bride has been very clear on that

You know who does an amazing Tiramisu? Poundland.
I admit, I judged when DH came in with them, but bloody hell as far as bought ones go they are amazing.

Marsala chicken sounds divine...

Now I want a poundland...

Dp brought back a Lidl (or Aldi, can't remember) one a few weeks back. It's a shelf rather than fridge one, so I've been dubious about trying it, but if the Poundland one is ok then perhaps it worth trying.....

(And before you ask, Lidl and Aldi are also 100 miles away!)

Sounds quite easy to make zabaglione

Sqoosh.. really?! Shit.
It's like when an ex told me my warm hands were because I had a cold heart....

Oh, and shame you don't get to ride the sheep. That would be an experience, me thinks! Bet the sheep are pleased, though!

I love it! It's my favourite dessert.

However I am quite fussy about it and I hate the version my MIL makes with orange peel in it. It all kinds of wrong.

I've tried the Lidl tiramisu cake. It's underwhelming. Not wet enough!

sisters I did not know this.

Orange peel? What kind of fresh Hell....

I know....

sqoosh - thanks for the heads-up. Shall keep hidden or else serve it all up to DP. It doesn't sound as if it's worth breaking my diet for.

God I love tiramisu. I have made it only once, I was too impatient to let the coffee cool properly and the mascarpone deliciousness melted somewhat. Tiramisoup is not so great

Love Tiramisu- if you find yourself in Glasgow there is an Italian restaurant in Hope Street that does an excellent example - order it every time

Mmmm tiramisu, lovely!

Thanks for the heads up. I'm in Dublin in 7 weeks so will attempt to find the place. Also in Amsterdam for Christmas and have already Googled Italian restaurants 😁

I LOVE tiramisu. DH laughs at my extreme 80s throwbackness whenever I order it.

I do love coffee though. I bought a bottle of kahlua to make espresso martinis recently and now there's only half a bottle left and I haven't made a single martini

Nigella's Irish Cream Tiramisu is seriously to die for. Try it, you won't be sorry...

Most tiramisu is disappointing as it doesn't live up to the one I had on holiday a few years back.

I had a surprisingly amazing fruit and banana tiramisu in Lucca many years ago. I haven't attempted to recreate it, I wouldn't even know where to start. But it was delicious.

katietwinmum ooh which restaurant on Hope St? Is it Pulcinella?

And OP if you find out which Dublin restaurant it is can you let me know? I'd like to try it next time I'm home!

La Lanterna- very near the side door to central station. It's a blink and you'd miss it place on the street but you go downstairs into Italy! They have won so many awards its ridiculous. Have the tornedos rossini too

There is a line in Last of the Summer Wine' where Edie tells Brenda You don't want to go looking in boutiques. You were brought up Co-op'. Very funny. Less so IRL. I'm more on the profiteroles side myself but there's nowt wrong with tiramisu.
