I don't know if it is because of the rum or coffee, but I've just found that it comes from the Italian "tira mi su", which means "pick me up". May 16 04, 6:36 PM

From a recent Millionaire question, a rough Italian translation is "pick-me-up" May 16 04, 6:36 PM

Traditional Tirami Su is made with Marsala. I have the pleasure of making 5 trays of it each week. May 16 04, 6:45 PM
