Okay, this being America it may be hard to find a local dish that isn’t available somewhere in the states, and this one is no exception. The exception is how good it is. I’m talking about tiramisu, and I’ve never tasted any better than what was served to me in the south of France.
Okay, I know that it’s an Italian dessert, but I didn’t make it to Italy. And the south of France serves some amazing Italian food.
It was delectable. Light and rich and I’m guessing there may have been magic ingredient not commonly found in the U.S., because I’ve never tasted anything like it here. I have a friend who claimed her mom made the best tiramisu ever, and it was good, but not as good.
For that matter, the south of France had a number of dishes I could probably find here that would no doubt be so much better in their native land (or neighboring country). The food there was delicious, and even though I don’t typically drink much, the wine was incredible.
Ah, to travel again.

I have never been out of the United States. I have to say that the tiramisu in the photo looks delicious. The very top!… I just want to take a fork or spoon and scrape it right off and eat it! I would love to go to the Tuscany region of Italy but if I can’t drive there I won’t be going… no flying, no boating.

I’ve never been to Italy, but I hear the Tuscany region is beautiful. I doubt I’ll get to travel again, so I’m grateful for what I was able to do.

During my marriage, every restaurant we dined in, my then husband would order the Tiramisu for us to share and I don’t think we ever tasted the same version twice. Each restaurant puts their own personal spin on it, but also…we rarely tasted a bad one. Just slightly different.

I can’t say I’ve ever tasted a really bad one either, but the one I had in France simply beats them all. I have no idea what the difference was, but it was definitely there.

Maybe the quality of ingredients? I’m sure the one in France was magical and I’m happy you had that experience.
