Do you know the imported cookie "Pepperidge Farm Milano"? It is a member of the so-called "Cat tongue" with chocolate sandwiched between vanilla-flavored lightly baked cookies. You may have seen it about once because it is available at various stores such as KALDI, Seiyu, and Don Quijote.

Pepperidge Farm Milan

It has a crispy and light texture, a sweet vanilla scent, and a slightly bitter chocolate ... It's a classic combination, but it's too sweet and it's delicious, and it's said that there are many secret fans. I've been wondering for a long time, but why Milan?



When I asked a friend who has lived in Milan, Italy for about 10 years, "Do you know this?", He answered, "Nice to meet you." It doesn't seem to have penetrated the site.

However, he continued, "But I think it's based on a thin oval cookie called" cat's tongue "." When I looked it up, there was a lightly baked cookie called "Lingue di gatto (cat tongue)" in Italy, which was the same as the French "langue de chat" (also meaning cat tongue). I see, isn't it completely irrelevant? However, it cannot be said that it is unique to Italy, and it is not a specialty of Milan.


I couldn't come to the clean conclusion I expected, but Milan is still delicious today. If anything, it is a place far from the home and is loved as an image. Well, surely, if foreign-made "Tokyo" and "Kyoto" sweets are lined up in the supermarket, it seems a little moody.
