Sandwiches
I discovered a new, heavenly sandwich place today. I mean, it's not really "new" but I've never tried it before so it's new to me. Not to mention the price is such a deal! $3.99 for ALL sandwiches, I think I have a new favorite eatery.
While we're on the subject of sandwiches, I also learned today via Casa Italiana that panini is actually the plural version of the noun. So, in Italy if you ordered a panini the waiter would ask, "panini? Due panini? Tre?" because if you wanted a sandwich you'd have to order a panino. Same with biscotti (singular is biscotto). For some reason when the word made it into English usage it became singular, even though it's the plural form.
Don't believe me? Voilà!
