What is vastedda? its on a menu for this italian diner...?

Answer 1

"A vastedda is a cow-spleen sandwich. Boil small pieces of spleen in a large pot. When finished, place a few slices on a bread bun. If you like you're sandwich drier, squeeze the meat against a spatula before cooking. Add ricotta cheese and bake in the oven until the bread is toasted. "

So basically, its cow spleen on a bun.

Answer 2

DEPENDING ON WHICH IS SERVED YOU WOULD ASK IF ITS A SANDWICH OR CHEESE : )

If its a diner i bet its the sandwich?

It's what's called a stretched curd cheese, made from the milk of sheep native to the Valle de Belice. You have to use sheep's milk for vastedda because only sheep's milk will take on the form of a stringy paste that gives the cheese its distinctive quality.

Wikipedia Italian lists thi as the main source

a marvelous sandwich that piles boiled cow spleen on a split focaccia, avalanches it in snowy ricotta, then adds coarsely grated parmesan. Spleen? Pretend it's liver.
