Chefs have rustled up the world’s biggest tiramisu at a food festival in France, whipping buckets full of eggs, cream, sugar and cocoa into a tonne of the finger-licking Italian treat.
Weighing in at 1,075.92kg, the giant tiramisu — which means “Pick me up,” or “Send me to heaven” in Italian — was officially logged as a new Guiness World Record, according to an AFP reporter.
A dozen pastry chefs worked around the clock on the dessert, with an ice rink set up specially at the fair in Villeurbanne near Lyon to keep it chilled.
The giant recipe used up 300kg of mascarpone, 60kg of cream, 192kg of sugar, 180kg of boudoir biscuits, 4.8kg of cocoa powder and 12kg of chocolate.
Chefs also cracked in 72kg of egg yolks and 108kg of whites — the equivalent of 4,000 eggs — as well as 120 liters of water, 9.12 liters of coffee and 18 liters of marsala wine.
The French tiramisu — which will be dished up and sold to raise funds for charity — takes over from the previous record, held by Switzerland for a 782.4kg dessert.

參與法國美食節的廚師們製作了世界最大的提拉米蘇，他們攪拌了滿滿好幾桶雞蛋、奶油、糖和可可粉，製成一個重一公噸、讓人口水直流的義大利甜點。
法新社記者報導，這個重一千零七十五點九二公斤的特大號提拉米蘇（義大利文的意思是「讓我興奮」或「送我上天堂」），已被正式列入新的《金氏世界紀錄》。
在維樂班（鄰近里昂）舉辦的這場美食博覽會上，十二位糕餅師傅日以繼夜地製作這道甜點，場內還特別打造了一座溜冰場供冰存之用。
製作這個特大號提拉米蘇，共耗費了三百公斤的馬斯卡朋起司、六十公斤的鮮奶油、一百九十二公斤的糖、一百八十公斤的手指餅乾、四點八公斤的可可粉和十二公斤的巧克力。
廚師還加入七十二公斤的蛋黃和一百零八公斤的蛋白（相當於四千顆蛋），以及一百二十公升的水、九點一二公升的咖啡，以及十八公升的馬莎拉葡萄酒。
這塊法國提拉米蘇打破先前瑞士創下的七百八十二點四公斤紀錄，將被切塊義賣籌措慈善基金。

The debate surrounding Taipower’s recent corporate identity reboot has gone well beyond the design community. The controversy began after Taipower replaced the familiar “Taiwan Power Company” wording — widely regarded as the calligraphy of Yu You-ren (1879-1964), former Control Yuan president and master calligrapher — with a modern logotype by designer Aaron Nieh’s team, Aaron Nieh Workshop. Taipower said the change was not a wholesale replacement of old signage, but an “optimization of its identity system,” aimed at meeting the needs of digital media, electronic bills, apps, social media graphics and various small-format applications. Existing physical markings, such as building
As bee populations around the world continue to decline at an alarming rate, scientists are developing an innovative solution: robotic bees. Recent advances at research institutions like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US have produced tiny flying robots capable of performing pollination tasks similar to those of real bees. These tiny machines represent an impressive technological achievement. MIT’s latest models can hover in the air for over 1,000 seconds and perform complex movements, demonstrating the agility needed for successful pollination. The robots are designed to mimic the flight patterns of natural bees, offering potential support to agriculture
A: Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage on May 24, 2019, so this week marks the seventh anniversary of that milestone. By the end of 2024, a total of 32,126 LGBT couples had tied the knot.

By the end of that year, there were 130 cross-strait same-sex marriages between Taiwanese and Chinese — accounting for only about 0.4 percent of the total. B: I’ve heard that a seven-year marriage brings the “seven-year itch.” I bet some couples regret their decisions now. A:

Some mental health experts also say there is a danger in labeling a certain day as the most depressing time of the entire year. Some argue that if people expect to feel sadder on the third Monday in January, this belief alone may increase their anxiety. One group that is worried about the negative effect of believing in Blue Monday is Samaritans. A mental health charity based in the UK, Samaritans is working to turn Blue Monday into “Brew Monday.” In this
