Whatever you call them, these tasty combinations are rolling full-force onto menus at America's favorite delis and restaurants. New York's famed Tavern on the Green has added a sliced pork and potatoes wrap to its menu. Fast-food establishments such as Taco Bell and Long John Silver unveiled new wraps to capitalize on the sizzling food trend. Loosely defined, a wrap is any combination of favorite foods tucked into a tortilla, pita, pastry or other flat bread, then rolled up.
Wraps take little time to prepare and are virtually spillproof by design.
Sandwich lovers will no longer grieve for that dab of mustard or chunk of tomato which made its way out of the usual sandwich. The concept of wraps is nothing new. Their popularity reaches around the globe, with almost every ethnic cuisine contributing its own wrap to the world. Healthy, tasty fillings, wrapped in a neat, hand-held package, make for good eating, as well as adding interest to otherwise mediocre foods. With large fork, pierce each piece.
