Okay, now this a question I have mulled over in my head for quite a while, I mean, as far as I know the humble panini landed into my life about 6/7 years ago, when the sandwich toastie was seen as too poor a meal and some bright spark saw the gap in the market. So, whats the difference between 2 slices of bread and a filling, lightly toasted and a longer piece of bread with the same filling, that makes the price so different. Now, its not likely you can buy a panini for less than £4.50 in the city here, maybe £3.90, while a massive sandwich costs about £2/3. So where does the extra £1.50 come from? Is there special training involved? Are the ingredients fresher? Does Mr Panini get a huge cut of the commission? There are some small restraunts in which you can get a full meal for the same price....with chips and meat and gravy....even a full breakfast....
This is what Wikipedia says:
A panino (IPA: [pʰəˈninəʊ]) is a sandwich made from a small loaf of bread, typically a ciabatta. The loaf is often cut horizontally and filled with salami, ham, meat, cheese or other food, and sometimes served hot.
So can anyone answer this question?

the fact that it's pressed and it's "foreign," makes up the price lol. In general, it tends to have more filling than regular sanswich.
