Oh man I'm sorry but this made me laugh! No you cannot use Zingers or Twinkies in place of lady fingers. The ones you need are the hard ones IF the lady fingers are going on the bottom. They soak in espresso and become soft. There are some that put the lady fingers on the outside, standing up going around the sides of the tiramisu, and tie a ribbon around it to keep them from falling over. Those I suppose you can use the soft, since nothing will be sitting on top of them, but you would still need the hard ones that go inside.
I believe the correct spelling is Savoiardi biscuits
