On the subject of brews........

Why is it that those almond biscuits we dunk in good coffee are referred to as "biscotti" when you only have one (..and a biscotti please...) Same as those warm Italian style sandwiches - are they really "panini" in the singular?
I speak French and Spanish fluently, and enough Italian to know that Italian masculine plurals, like these two examples, end in "i", but their singulars end in "o". Surely a biscotto and a panino?
Can anyone enlighten me?

I love it when I ask a question, and nobody knows the answer. It makes up for all the times I am speechless....

There is nothing to enlighten you on, you answered the question yourself.

10.47 at night, on a Saturday, and you expect coherent answers to a rhetorical question and complain within 8 minutes that nobody knows the answer

You are asking a question regarding the rules of Italian grammar on a golf website where very few of us can answer a question on the Rules of Golf, and you wonder why you don't get an answer???

I know, but we were in the off topic section and talking about brews and then I was reminded of biscuits and one thing led to another...and I was pissed last night too.
