There are variations, but a classic parmo is a chicken or pork fillet that is beaten until it is flat and roughly the size of half a pizza box, covered in breadcrumbs, then fried.
Then béchamel sauce and a layer of cheese (strangely not parmesan) is added and it’s grilled.
Then it’s served with chips and salad (that’s the healthy part) and some people swear that a layer of garlic sauce (another Teesside delicacy) needs to be poured on top.
All this for about 4 quid.
