It sounds like fun to me. There are three Italian (at least) versions
of this kind of food that you can search on, too. Tigelle, Crescentine
and Piadina. Unfortunately, Italians eat them with a fork and knife,
but when they aren't around I use my hands. Locally we have torta al
testo, but I find little difference to crescentina.

Piadina is really like flour tortillas, and my favorite filling is Greek
salad ingredients. Tomato, cucumber, onion and kalamata olives with
crumbled feta, olive oil and optional Greek yogurt. I grill the piadina
before filling and rolling like a wrap.
