Talk:Stromboli (food)

message: Hi. Please refrain from spamming the Philadelphia portal template on articles that are only tangentially related to the city. While it's acceptable to use on articles relating directly to the city, putting it on articles like Pretzel, Hoagie, and Stromboli is taking things too far. Thanks. - EurekaLott 04:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: In practice, I've noticed that Stromboli's usually contain pizza or marinara sauce, while calzones are accompanied by a separate dipping sauce and no sauce inside the calzone itself.  I have no idea how to confirm this, aside from looking up recipe's online, but what sort of authority do online recipes represent?  So for the moment, I'm asking around for opinions.

replies: text:  I'm italian and i confirm: this "stromboli" is neither a "classical" nor tipical food (and not a regional food). Maybe it's an american-italian restaurant invention or an idea of some restaurant in Italy, but it's not a "tipical" product in italy. Pizza is everywhere from south to north of italy, and so for the "calzone"; recently you can find something called "rotolo" and "roll-up" (sigh...); "rotolo" is like a calzone, "roll-up" something is made of piadina stuffed with something and ... rolled up! :) ... but not for "stromboli".Wikit2007 14:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Here is a picture of one. Maybe I will replace it at a future time.  But anyway, Stromboli does not have sauces in it - its more like a baked sandwich.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.90.166.40 (talk • contribs) 
* I feel like the second picture is unnecessary, not only is the stromboli itself very messy looking, the image is also a little blurry- the first image is sharp and professional looking- for an article this short I feel that one image is plenty.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Himynameishelen (talk • contribs) 16:12, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Sorry but We' ve never hearnt about "STROMBOLI" in Italy...
:Is anyone actually claiming that people in Italy eat stromboli?  Oh, I suppose there's that sentence about people who think it was invented in Stromboli.  I think it's fairly well-understood that stromboli is not a food eaten in Italy (even if it comes under the heading of "Italian cooking" in the US-- see also American Chinese cuisine).

replies: text: Stromboli is definitely non-Italian, nobody would understand what you mean if you ever ordered a stromboli here. I guess the name was originally a trademark for this type of turnover, probably referring to its aspect which reminds of a volcano in a figurative sense (the tomato sauce and the other ingredients coming out from the inside....); some Italian pizzerias, for example, serve a pizza called pizza Vesuvio and the name is clearly based on the Vesuvius volcano as well. Local trademarks like stromboli sometimes get out of their "localism" and make their way in the rest of the country or even abroad (e.g. fettuccine Alfredo, tiramisu, tramezzini, etc.), good for stromboli and its inventor! As an Italian, I'm not familiar with this turnover and I would just call it rotolo di pizza ("pizza roll").--Teno85 (talk) 02:43, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

message: This may fail the notability test, but when I was growing up in North-Central Indiana in the 1970s, a Stromboli was a type of sandwich, not a turnover. I consisted of a "submarine sandwich" style loaf, brushed with garlic butter, filled with cooked, crumbled Italian sausage, slices of mozzarella, onions, and marinara sauce, wrapped in foil and baked until crispy and melty. There was this little hole-in-the-wall pizza place on Dixon Road in Kokomo, where the pizza was awful, but the Stromboli sandwiches were legendary. IIRC, Mike's Pizza on Alto Road still offers a sandwich-style Stromboli. But I digress. Do any Midwestern readers recall this style of Stromboli as a regional variant, or is it just a highly local one-off? 71.67.120.193 (talk) 15:05, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
