📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pan bagnat means 'wet bread,' a sandwich eaten along the Mediterranean coast in Monaco and Nice. A round loaf is soaked with olive oil and filled with tomato, tuna, boiled egg, olives, anchovies, green pepper, and onion, then weighted down so the flavors meld. It's a seaside picnic classic.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On the rocks by the sea in Monaco, a paper-wrapped round sandwich is opened and eaten facing the blue Mediterranean.
