Continental Roll

01 / ABOUT THE DISH

About the dish

Continental roll is an Australian sandwich influenced by Italian cuisine. The sandwich consists of a crusty and chewy bread roll filled with cheese, Italian cold cuts (usually mixed meat – mortadella, salami, and coppa) and a variety of condiments. Pickled eggplants and sun-dried tomatoes are the most common condiments, but there is also a choice of typical Australian ingredients such as grated carrots and beetroots. The sandwiches are traditionally sold at delis and lunch bars, and they usually can't be found in supermarkets.
