Really? Citation needed. --Macrakis (talk) 13:57, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History

The History section reads like a tourist brochure and has no sources. Moreover, the word bistecca is only attested starting in the 19th century, so the story is nonsense. The Fanfani dictionary (1863) says it is a neologismo. I will remove the nonsense and replace with RS. --Macrakis (talk) 13:57, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, it's possible in principle that the British didn't introduce the dish, just the name. But we'd need reliable sources for that.

By the way, the association with St Lawrence presumably comes because St Lawrence was supposedly martyred by being grilled. --Macrakis (talk) 15:43, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
