'[it] jump[s] in the mouth') is an Italian dish (also popular in southern Switzerland).

It consists of veal that has been wrapped (lined) with prosciutto and sage and then marinated in wine, oil or salt water, depending on the region or one's own taste.

The original version of this dish is saltimbocca alla romana (lit.

'Roman-style saltimbocca'),[1] which consists of veal, prosciutto and sage, rolled up and cooked in dry white wine and butter.

An American variation replaces the veal with chicken or pork.
