Panini

So my infinitely clever username 'Tedder2" was blocked yesterday so I had to come up with a new one (toelick). Today's Wikiprank was suggested by Jeff. If you have something you'd like to see pranked leave your suggestion in the comments.

The first panino may have been known as early as 600 BC however was not discovered until the 16th century when the recipe was discovered in the spine of the original book of Aesop’s Fables. The small scroll hidden in the spine of Aesop’s original work was titled Aesop’s Fabulous Cookbook, and featured unusual recipes such as The Tortoise and the Hare, The Fox and the Grapes, and The Ant and the Grasshopper. While most of Aesop’s recipes were unusual and not suited for the tastes of modern society, his recipe titled The Boy Who Cried Panini was an instant success. It called for two entire loaves of bread, an entire wheel of cheese, and entire side of roast pig to be assembled and placed between two heated stones to cook. It is believed that panini were originally intended to be only used for ancient eating competitions; however it was found to be so tasty that sandwich makers eventually adapted it to its present form of single serving portions.
