Comment on Why are they different shapes?
owsei@programming.dev 7 hours agoWe put cheese, ham, salami, mortadella and other stuff. However just mortadella on bread is really famous, because it’s quite cheap and a very famous TV show called Chaves had the main character loving it.
Recently I’ve started trying to make more meal-like sandwiches, like chicken, tomato and lettuce (really tasty) or egg, cheese and peperoni (all heated up together) and it’s considerably better
Also, you’re talked about petit pain, do you know they have that name in France or they are sold with that name in the UK?

Those all sound delicious, I’ll have to give them a try 😋
Yeah I do and they are sold under that name here in the UK because English will just adopt words from other language or slang terms if they’re used enough. Also in English words for farm animals are Germanic in origin and words for the meat of those same animals are Norman (northern France) in origin because after the Norman Conquest in 1066, the nobility were all Norman French and were the ones to refer to cuts of meat whereas the peasantry didn’t eat the meat of the farm animals.

Cow, Pig × Filet mignon makes much more sense now!
Also, that’s called loan word
