Italian Night in the Relleno House

[dls1]

Second lunch, huh? I don't even want to know about dinner.

What through me for a loop on your menu was the "Prosciutto Panino". I'm pretty familiar with Italian food and the language so that was simple. Prosciutto=cured Italian ham, unsmoked. Panino=singular of the term panini and a sandwich normally served on some type of hinged roll that is grilled and pressed. So, I figured it was one large panino sliced in individual portions to share. Went through the photos several times and didn't see such an item so, on a lark, I Googled the term and saw loads of photos of mozzarella sticks wrapped in prosciutto which resembled what you had on a platter. That's all good and I've done something similar many times but I can't figure out what language deficient wizard decided to call it a panino. Only in America.

Beats me man, I just rolled'em up.
I have no Italian heritage, don't speak the language, but I do have some Italian heritage acquaintances here in the US and two born/bred Italians that I online game with.
The two natural borns laugh at us Americans all the time, and I laugh at them too.

That is another amazing plate Chile! Like dls1, I'd never heard of a Panino, couldn't even find it on Google. Today, at the grocery...

I'd never noticed it before!

Thank you Mike.
ETA: I just noticed that those are pepperoni.
I'm going to have to find some extra thick pepperoni, and some hot capicola.

My wife obviously loves me <3
She packed the last piece of leftover Chicken Parmesan in my lunch, andI know she wanted it.
Maybe her talk (hints) about homemade Lasagna should be followed up on.

Dinner was more like a late dessert, it was the second batch of Zeppole.
