available in a particular restaurant. The difference is that it focuses
on a type of sandwich called panino. This is the proper name for a hot
pressed sandwich with hearty fillings. As there are virtually countless
varieties of panini, there are also myriads of menus devoted to each kind.
Though originally an Italian food, Americans and other people developed a
taste for panini and so menus are developed to suit American taste. There
are menus tailored by restaurants for their own customers, and still
others developed and used by panini aficionados when they make their own
home made panini.
In Italy where panini first became popular (and where panini refers to the
plural form, panino is singular), panini are comprised of a relatively
dense bread, strongly flavored meats, some cheese that goes well with the
meat fillings, as well as a toss of greens. Commonly used Italian breads
(which incidentally are also favorite mainstays in the US because they
hold up well on the grill) include, sourdough, ciabatta and foccacia.
Meats traditionally include cappicolla, salami, prosciutto, pastrami and
pepperoni, while cheeses that are usually partnered with them are
provolone, asiago and mozzarella. Veggies are also increasingly finding
their way in the menu not just as toppings but as main panini fillings as
well. This is thanks to the increasing health consciousness of American
consumers. Veggies might include eggplant, lettuce, spinach, red peppers,
tomatoes, zucchini, onions and olives. Many of these vegetables are
grilled and then added to the panini for added flavor.
A quick browse of a typical panini menu reveals that usual Italian
ingredients are giving way to items that are available locally and more
attuned to American taste. For instance, a well known restaurant with
several locations around Los Angeles feature panini filled with chicken
breast, roasted turkey breast, ground chuck and albacore tuna alongside
American cheeses and greens. Another respected establishment with
locations nationwide carry panini menus with an all-American feel
alongside the traditional Italian panino, like Gobbler (main filling is
Sausalito turkey), South Side (roast beef) and Bronx (corned beef with
coleslaw and thousand island dressing).
It goes without saying that most panini menus contain both American and
Italian meats and cheeses. This not surprising, given that panini traces
its roots back to Italy and a lot of us have developed a taste for Italian
food. As a rule, panini itself is a food that can take in any filling, the
only limitation is your imagination and the availability of fillings that
you'd like to mix and match.
