Panini

Ancient language analyst

A panini is a pressed sandwich made with Italian bread, typically grilled until the bread is toasted and the fillings are warm.

The ridged grill leaves distinctive parallel marks.

Though *panini* is already plural in Italian (singular *panino*), English treats it as singular: I ordered a panini for lunch.

The plural in English is usually paninis.
