"The combination of the Parmesan and panko breading, the nutmeg of the bechamel, and the slight browning under the broiler brought a surprising nuttiness out of the cheddar" Teesside's Parmo, Not Necessarily A Sandwich

I have been bamboozled, suckered, fooled into writing about this particular Northeastern English delicacy. Delicacy is in fact the wrong word–the Parmo is anything but delicate. Originally a breaded pork cutlet–often served with chicken instead these days–fried up crisp, then covered in bechamel sauce and cheddar cheese before being finished under a broiler, it’s been estimated that a standard…

In October, the Tribunal will be covering Palermo's Panelle, Yorkshire's Parmo, and Utah's Pastrami Burger.

Welcome to October, sandwich fans! As always, a new month brings 3 new sandwiches for the Tribunal to investigate, and there are some good ones coming! But first, as ever, we must review what we learned in September. September’s Tribunal sandwiches included the Mulita, a Mexican melt from Tijuana involving 2 handmade corn tortillas, plenty of Oaxacan cheese, meats like carne asada or carnitas,…

a GREAT question that I am treating as top 5 takeaway meals I've had rather than the five I choose between:

Duck in plum sauce with boiled rice from one place near my house at uni that was so good I ordered it the next day again to check it wasn't a fluke

chips and cheese and salmonella (aka chips cheese and mayo) from efe's burger van followed by sitting in the tiny graveyard next to costa with the light installation that looked like aliens (@crimeandcricket knows whats what)

The time we got takeaway evil eye indonesian food and me and my dad went to pick it up and we had perfect gin martinis together at 11am while waiting for our nasi goreng and soto ayam to be finished.

the vietnamese place that did lamb in garlic sauce, garlic pak choi and extra large boiled rice that was so good but also enough food for a week near the first place I lived in London

any and all parmos I have ever had, up to and including:

a) the first parmo I had at a sleepover at uni where we watched horror movies and I got over my snobbery and any chance I'll be a size 14 again

b) the first hungover parmo I had, which was more memorable than the night out

c) the parmo from the place across the road from my third year flat that put mushrooms and onions on it

d) the first parmo I had outside of teeside and the relief I felt when I had it and it was still good
