AlfatogodeBere:
Tiramisu means come closer to me in one of the many Italian dialects. And of course, it is the name of the dessert.
Was just wondering the relation betn the two. (i.e. tiramisu n its meaning)
is it literal?
I mean if I want to say to somebody, "come closer to me", cud I just say "tiramisu"?
No pun intended, genuinely wanted to ask.
