Stromboli (food)
Stromboli is a type of baked turnover filled with various Italian cheeses (typically mozzarella) and usually Italian cold cuts (typically Italian meats such as salami, capocollo and bresaola) or vegetables served hot. The dough used is either Italian bread dough or pizza dough. Stromboli was invented by Italian-Americans in the United States in the Philadelphia area. The name of the dish is taken from a volcanic island off the coast of Sicily. A stromboli is similar to a calzone or scaccia, and the dishes are sometimes confused. Unlike calzones, which are always stuffed and folded into a crescent shape, a stromboli is typically rolled or folded into a cylinder, and may sometimes contain a thin layer of tomato sauce on the inside. Preparation Many American pizza shops serve a stromboli using pizza dough that is folded in half with fillings, similar to a half-moon-shaped calzone. At other establishments, a stromboli is made with a square-shaped pizza dough that can be topped with ...

Capicola
Capocollo () or coppa () is a traditional Italian and Corsican pork cold cut ('' salume'') made from the dry-cured muscle running from the neck to the fourth or fifth rib of the pork shoulder or neck. It is a whole-muscle salume, dry cured, and typically sliced very thin. It is similar to the more widely known cured ham or prosciutto, because they are both pork-derived cold cuts used in similar dishes. It is not brined as ham typically is. Terminology This cut is typically called ''capocollo'' or ''coppa'' in much of Italy. This name is a compound of the words ''capo'' ("head") and ''collo'' ("neck"). Regional terms include ''capicollo'' (Campania and Calabria) and ''capicollu'' ( Corsica). Outside of Italy, terms include ''bondiola'' or ''bondiola curada'' in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, and capicola or capicolla in North America. The pronunciation "gabagool" has been used by Italian Americans in the New York City area and elsewhere in the Northeast, based on the pronu ...

Cotechino
The ''cotechino'' (, ) is an Italian large pork sausage requiring slow cooking; usually it is simmered at low heat for several hours. Its name comes from ''cotica'' (rind), but it may take different names depending on its various locations of production. According to tradition, it is served with lentils on New Year's Eve, because lentils—due to their shape—are 'credited' with bringing money in the coming year. It is prepared by filling the natural casing with rind, pork meat (usually of secondary preference), and fat mixed with salt and spices; in industrial production, nitrites and nitrates are added as preservatives. Some similar sausages exist in the Italian cooking tradition, for example musetto and zampone which are made with different meat and parts of the pig, musetto being made with meat taken from the pig's muzzle and zampone being held together by the pig's rear leg skin. Varieties of cotechino The ''cotechino Modena'' has PGI status, meaning its recipe and prod ...

Panzerotti
A panzerotto (; plural panzerotti , also known as panzarotto ), is a savory turnover that originated in Central and Southern Italian cuisine which resembles a small calzone, both in shape and dough used for its preparation. The term usually applies to a fried turnover rather than an oven-baked pastry (i.e. a calzone), though ''calzoni'' and ''panzerotti'' are often mistaken for each other. Etymology The noun ''panzerotto'' comes from a diminutive of ''panza'', a regional variation of Italian ''pancia'' ("belly, tummy"), referring to the distinctive swelling of the pastry which resembles a belly bloating. Although etymologically related, the word () refers to a totally different dish from panzerotti, denoting a kind of ravioli which is typical of Genoa. Panzerotti are also popular in the United States and Canada as well, where it is often called ''panzerotti'' or ''panzarotti'' as a singular noun (plural ''panzerotties''/''panzarotties'' or ''panzarottis''/''panzarottis''). ...

Swiss Roll
A Swiss roll, jelly roll (United States), roll cake, cream roll, roulade or Swiss log is a type of rolled sponge cake filled with whipped cream, jam, or icing. The origins of the term are unclear; in spite of the name "Swiss roll", the cake is believed to have originated elsewhere in Central Europe, possibly Austria or Slovenia. It appears to have been invented in the nineteenth century, along with Battenberg cake, doughnuts, and Victoria sponge. In the U.S., commercial versions of the cake are sold with the brand names of Ho Hos, Yodels, Swiss Cake Rolls, and others. A type of roll cake called Yule log is traditionally served at Christmas. The spiral layered shape of the Swiss roll has inspired usage as a descriptive term in other fields, such as the jelly roll fold, a protein fold, the "Swiss roll" metamaterial in optics, and the term ''jelly roll'' in science, quilting and other fields. History The earliest published reference for a rolled cake spread with jelly wa ...
