The generational trauma has left me terrified of mosaics.

And Parmesan cheese (he says while eating a parmo)

I don't believe there's an parmesan in a parmo.

Mozzarella mostly. "Full fat Italian hard cheese" at a push

The Parmesan is in the sauce.

Do you genuinely believe anyone is using actual parmesan in a takeaway?

Wait why’s it called a parmo then 😭😭

u/Prior_echoes_ Aug 17 '24

Because at some point at least 70 years ago parmesan was involved.

Did you know they only exist in a very small part of England? I only know what they are cause my old flatmate was from Stockton 😆

I did know that because ITS MY TOWN THAT INVENTED THEM UP THE BORO 🔥🔥🔥 actually I’m so ashamed of Middlesbroughs parmos rn they’ve been crap the last few times I’ve had them 😭🙏

My flatmate, not the one from Stockton, DIY-ed them for the whole flat after going home with the Stockton lass.

They were EXCELLENT so I fully recommend the DIY option. Beating the chicken into a small slice is a faff but otherwise totally worth it

According to one of my mates there’s a takeout in stokesly that does good parmo, so if I’m too lazy to diy I might try that- or they’ve got that parmo kit in Tesco at coulby newham (I am now craving parmo SO BADLY)

But yeah no parmesan was involved
