Thanks Ixion I would never have gotten that , so is it that the third letter of 'tiramisu' becomes 'ar' as in the sound of the letter?

And 'te' for note?

Well, I waited.

Yes. "te" (Chambers) for note, also "ti".

"a third of ti(r)amisu" = A + R

Oh I was way off the mark. Actually I was way off the track the whole clue. I had been trying every combination of three letters in tiramisu. Thanks for the help you two.
