Vegetarian
Before the end of 1800 nobody in the Western world had raised the issue of finding a vegetable substitute for meat. This is not to say that did not exist a vegetarian or vegan (although the concept we have in mind we are relatively new): in the Ancient Greek world before, in the Jewish one then, there were communities who rejected the use of food derived from the exploitation of animals. To find the first sublimation of the flesh though, we must go to East. Between 1600 and 1700 in China, the Buddhist monks invented “seitan” for the first time. They called it "mein ching" or "Buddha’s Food": it consisted of a protein produced by chance and comprises mixing wheat flour and hot water. Only many years later, when the American counterculture exploded in the late 60s and 70s, Seitan started to become popular in the West. Nowadays in Italy the use of meat substitutes has not reached a considerable level of popularity yet, despite the great effort made by many organizations who aim to aware people about the benefits of eating these kind of vegetable-based substitutes. Panino is a kind of peacemaker in this, because its versatility makes it able to satisfy every most refined palate and answer to everybody’s needs. Fillings made from sauces, vegetables, cheese and pickles for example, do not require the usage of any meat or fish. It is possible to realize a variety of combinations using eggs and legumes - valuable resource for vegetarians, due to their high protein content.
