Parmo, or Teesside Parmesan, is a dish originating in Middlesbrough, England, and a popular item of take-away food in the Teesside area as well as Northern England. It consists of a breaded cutlet of chicken or pork topped with a white béchamel sauce and cheese, usually cheddar.
The name is a reference to the American dish chicken parmesan, which is made with tomato sauce and mozzarella, which is itself a derivation of the Italian melanzane alla parmigiana.
