Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Hege Jakobsen Lepri: i'd have kept the original with an explanation in parenthesis. Zuppa inglese is really typically florenitine (to my knowledge) made from the leftovers italian nannies brought home after babysitting children of the English aristocrats in the area.
