Tramezzino
Triangular Italian sandwich made with white bread and no crusts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tramezzino (Italian: [tramedˈdziːno]; pl.: tramezzini) is an Italian sandwich consisting of two slices of soft white bread, with the crusts removed, usually cut in a triangle. Popular fillings include prosciutto, tuna, and olives, but many other fillings can be used.[1]
Etymology
The term tramezzino was coined by Gabriele D'Annunzio to replace the English word sandwich.[2] It is the diminutive of the word tramezzo, meaning 'in-between' (formed with the addition of the suffix -ino).
History
The origin of the tramezzino can be found in the Caffè Mulassano in Piazza Castello, Turin, where it was devised in 1925 as an alternative to English tea sandwich.[3][4]
