Word[edit]

"The dish originated in Italy using veal (veal piccata)." - no, there is no such word in Italian as piccata, she says. Shrugs. HammerFilmFan (talk) 21:23, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Then I found this definition: http://www.sfgate.com/food/article/Perfecting-piccata-3249533.php

" Adding to the confusion about its origin is its definition. The translation of the word piccata from Italian to English is complex, because it is a derivative of several words, each having more than one meaning.

It is easier to define in culinary terms. In "The Dictionary of Italian Wine and Food" and "The Food Lover's Companion," piccata is defined as a thin escalope of veal. Lemon juice is not even mentioned. However, when the words veal or chicken are added in front of piccata, it becomes a classic Italian (or is it Italian American?) dish with lemon, broth and/or wine and butter. Capers, chopped Italian parsley, shallots and garlic are common additions. " HammerFilmFan (talk) 21:33, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

HammerFilmFan, I was brought up and lived in Piedmont for 21 years and in all my life I have never seen piccata on any restaurant menu, I never ate it at home nor I ever heard it mentioned by people. Your friend from Campania is right. It's another made-up American word, probably one of those warped recipes like spaghetti and meatballs.

ICE77 (talk) 04:20, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The term in Italian for this dish is scaloppina, the only difference being that "scaloppina" refers to a wide variety of recipes while the English term "piccata" refers to the specific recipe of "scaloppina al limone con capperi". ^[1] The term piccata most likely originates from Italian immigrants to America, the dish, however, is merely a version of common scaloppina dishes which have been a part of Italian cuisine for centuries. Exactly how it came to be called "piccata" in America is unknown, but with the plethora of competing Italian dialects spoken by Italian immigrants, it's not surprising that differing terminology arose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.8.175.70 (talk) 12:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

This article is a stub and as described, defines a meal within the boundaries of the general schnitzel page^[2]. Because this article is separated there is no entry for Italy on that page and piccata remains a small note on the bottom. Only reason to keep this separate would be if wikiproject Italy was intending to substantially expand information beyond it's current form (which could easily fit on the general page) and fix references.
