[edit] Number

Are there any theories as why we tend to import Italian food words into English in the plural form: biscotti, porcini, panini, etc? Let alone all the pasta shapes—though there you could argue, I suppose, that a spaghetto is not much use to a cook. —Ian Spackman 16:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Word Edit

Took out the second "traditionally" in the first paragraph. It appears too quickly after the first.

[edit] Italian or Catalan origin?

Cantuccini appears to be identical or similar to the traditional Catalan carquinyolis. Are there any reliable sources about the origin of this cookie? Perhaps Italy or Spain/Catalonia? Libido 21:50, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
