Gimmesomemore
Forget Apple or Derby pies, Trifles, Shakes, Tiramisùs, Monti Bianchi, Panettoni, Pandori, Colombe farcite/ ripiene/ ricoperte/ nocciolate or snocciolate, Gelati ... affogati and not. The ultimate dessert is here: Signori e Signore ... the S'more.
This is a traditional campfire treat popular in the United States and Canada, consisting of a roasted marshmallow (pic on the right -->) and a slab of chocolate (pic below left) sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker, the same crackers used for the
cheesecake base (pic below right).
The name is short for "some more" as in "give me some more" or, as a son of the ’80 like I am would rather put it, ‘gimmesomemore’.
Part of its enjoyment is the way in which it is made on such camping trips. A marshmallow is skewered on the end of a long stick and held just above the campfire until its outer surface starts to brown, char, or even catch fire. Once heated, the marshmallow's inside becomes soft. The marshmallow is quickly pinched off its stick with the graham crackers, one of which has a piece of chocolate on it. Ideally, the heat from the roasted marshmallow partially melts the chocolate into a gooey mess.
Alternatively, if you're way past the age for a summer camp retreat, you can always roast marshmallows in a friend's roaring (and scorching hot!) fireplace. Just like we did...
