Le terme «wrap» est un générique qui désigne une grande variété de préparations : tortilla (fajitas, burritos), pain pita (souvlaki), pâte à pizza (calzone), omelette extra-mince (egg roll), crêpe fine (chausson), sushi (cornet), galette de riz (rouleau de printemps ou impérial). On peut choisir de le rendre en français par un de ces termes spécifiques, selon le contexte. Les anglicismes «wrap» et «sandwich wrap» sont très répandus mais nous pensons qu'ils sonnent mal en français et qu'ils sont inutiles puisque que les termes français génériques «roulé» ou «sandwich roulé», aussi bien attestés, rendent parfaitement bien la notion. 2, record 4, French, - roul%C3%A9%20aux%20l%C3%A9gumes
