    There was a thread here recently about chicken (or maybe it was veal)
    *parmesan*. I always thought the correct term was *parmigiana*. Am I
    wrong? Are the terms synonymous or are they two separate dishes? If
    separate, does anybody know the derivation of the two words?

    TIA, Jack

    "Parmesan" is just an English (and some other languages) spelling of
    "Parmigiano (Reggiano)". The name drives from "Parma" and "Reggio
    Emilia", in the general region of which the cheese is produced.

    Parmesan is the English version of the Italian parmigiano/a.
    The derivation is "from" or "in the style of" Parma, an
    Italian comunity in the region of Emilia-Romagna.

    And, as you probably already know, there is no substitute for the genuine
    article.

    When I discovered freshly grated Parmesan there was no going back to the
    canned [censored]. Due to the high cost of the real McCoy Parmigiano Reggiano I
    tried a local made "Parmesan" cheese. It was about half the price, but I was
    not impressed with it and went back to the real stuff.

    Parmesan cheese, Hard cheese, rich sharp flavor.

    Parmigiana, is a term used describing food that is made or cooked with
    Parmesan Cheese.

    In Italian the cheese is called parmesiano (strictly parmesiano-reggiano).

    Remove the [censored] from my email address before using.

    That could be because Parmigiana is the name of the cheese that we usually
    call Parmesan.

    Sorry. No. Parmigiano is the Italian name for the cheese. Or
    Parmigiano-Reggiano

    Parmigiana means a female from Parma or foods cooked in the style of Parma.
