panino. i felt the need for a warm sammie on a recent cold day and broke out the george foreman grill & presto; a panino at home. ok, i didn’t have to & maybe shouldn’t have made the cross hatch marks, but, nevertheless, this black forest ham & melted swiss panino was yum. inside a slather of dijonaise. i should have taken the photo after i took a bite, it was picture perfect with the melted swiss making a 10 inch string from the sandwich to my mouth, ok, maybe not. don’t buy a panino, make one!
and now a note from wikipedia: The word panino [pa'ni:no] is Italian for "small bread roll"; its plural form is panini. The word is the diminutive form of pane ("bread"). Outside Italy, panini is often incorrectly used as a singular word and is sometimes even more bastardized and pluralized into paninis.
In Italian, panino refers properly to a bread roll and a panino imbottito (literally "stuffed panino") to a sandwich. A paninoteca is a sandwich bar.
