[edit] Inventor

Now we have a citeable link for the originator of the Parmo, please do not unilaterally change the inventor details on the main page without discussing it here first, unless you have a citeable link which is more accurate than the BBC one. Violentbob (talk) 19:26, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Europa

Having been born and brought up in Middlesbrough and spent most of my working and social life there I would say that from what I remember the Parmo was invented in the 1970's by Marcello, the little chef and owner of the Europa restaurant, Borough Rd. Many's the time with workmates or friends did we visit the Madison (Maddos) nightclub on top of The Cleveland Centre till 2am followed by a walk staright round for the local delicacy. It was an excellent dish accompanied by chips and salad (yes we were into health food then)to be enjoyed after a good few pints, the night generally ending about 4am

[edit] Accuracy Disputed

As much as I love a parmo myself, I must note that I am not sure that the accuracy of this article is sufficient. I have heard several mentions from some friends that they are aware of this dish well before the 1970s (notably, they are all Jewish, so there is possibly a Jewish link there). As it's very difficult to ascertain the correct origin of this dish, I'm placing an accuracy disputed tag on the article until such origins can be noted and referenced.

[edit] The Parmo Originators

I to was under the impression that The Parmo was invented at The Europa. Its common knowledge I believe. Obviously the dish was adapted from the Italian Escalope Parmesan which was not originally made from pork and chicken. It was made from Veal and served, as the name suggests with Parmesan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Russyw (talk • contribs) 16:47, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
