Meanings
-
(Teesside, UK) A north-eastern English dish of deep-fried breaded chicken topped with béchamel sauce and cheese, sometimes served like a pizza with additional toppings.
But I hadn't eaten since breakfast, and felt sure that a parmo's bark (smell and appearance) could not possibly be as bad as its bite (taste).
