Legend has it, homemade breadsticks (or otherwise called Grissini in Italian or kritsinia in Greek ) originate from a region northwest Italy, called Piedmont. However, they are extremely popular on the Mediterranean basin and across Europe as a whole. You can see grissini breadsticks being sold in many Greek bakeries and tavernas. Sometimes, topped with sesame seeds or covered with semi-sweet pomegranate molasses.
