- Pan-bagnat
The Pan-bagnat (pahn bahn-YAHT) is a
sandwich that is a speciality of the region ofNice ,France . The sandwich is composed of a circle formedwhite bread around the classic Salade Niçoise, a salad composed mainly of rawvegetables , hard boiled eggs,anchovies and/ortuna , andolive oil . The name of the sandwich comes from the local Provençal language dialect ofNiçard , in which Pan-bagnat means "wet bread". It is often misspelled "pain bagnat" which, while correct in French, is not the spelling used in Nissart. The Pan-bagnat is a popular lunchtime dish in the region around Nice where it is sold in most bakeries and on most markets. The Pan-bagnat and the Salade Niçoise (Salade Nissardo), along with Ratatouille (La Ratatouia Nissardo in Provençal) are strongly linked to the city of Nice, where they have been over time developed out of locally available ingredients.External links
