Arrrggghhh - don't get me started on "paninis", with or without an apostrophe .

PANINI IS A PLURAL AND DOES NOT NEED AN "S".

Sorry - just had to get that off my chest.

The singular is "panino". Exactly the same is true of other Italian masculine plural words like "spaghetti", "ravioli", "grafitti", etc. They are all plural nouns, No "s", please, with or without an apostrophe!
