"Ladyfingers" or as we call them "Piškoti" (often referred to with their original Italian name, Savoiardi or spongy toes in Britain) are sweet spongy biscuits, shaped like a long finger. They are the main ingredient in many desserts. Ladyfingers originate from the end of the 15th century in the court of the Duke of Savoy and were created on the occasion of the visit of the king of France. They were later given the name Savoiardi and were recognized as "official" biscuits. They are especially appreciated by young court members and offered to visitors as a symbol of the local cuisine.
