I refuse to consider it cheating if the topic is pop culture; I'm not wasting my time keeping all that in my head just for a potential crossword puzzle answer.
It's panino. Two of the sandwiches are panini.
The reviewer used pen and paper to work on the anagrams; you can use Scrabble tiles, like Mia Farrow did in Rosemary's Baby.
@ST When I heard that within the first five minutes of "Nonnas," (should be ""Nonne") one lady says, PERFECTO!, I said - no way am I going to watch this tripe. Even an Italian American from New Jersey would know PERFETTO.
@Katie Why don't you expand your horizons and take Italian 101? Guys - it's panino for one of them, and panini for two of them. Knowledge is power.
@Steve L Spoken like someone who has never spoken a language outside of English.
@Nancy J. It's not outrage, so much as annoyance from the lack of rigor from the constructor and the editor, who should know and love the use of language. I remember when Alex Trebek would get agiated from "Brussheta" pronounciation. Using "panino" would have been so elegant and satisfying, as well as being correct.
@cameron panera bread is a joke.
@Mick Indeed, a crossword constructor and an editor should be word lovers.
@Steve L You are obviously not Italian - or familiar with languages outside of English or "murican."
@Jay Who orders "a pie?" Ugh.
