Part of a menu where we have the following on offer:
Bruschettine con Salse battute
Food is not my forte; but whilst I know what bruschetta is, my research comes up with nothing that looks acceptable on top of it. I imagine we are talking about toppings here?

smooth bruschetta toppings
Whether the ingredients are whipped or not, the result is the same a smooth topping as opposed to the traditional diced-tomato route. So your first intuition was right for an English-speaking audience. I think sauses are rather a condiment and not a topping.

chopped toppings
I think Battute means chopped with a half-moon or similar device. So Bruschetta with chopped mixture of herbs/sauces may fit

You're right about pic (menus are so individual), but bruschetta is originally made of 'household bread rubbed with garlic and drenched with oil'
(A.Davidson's, Oxford Companion To Food). It's also called 'fett'unta'. Tomato is a later addition.
Wre are not discussing the origins of bruschetta. I live in Tuscany and have done for thirty years and the bruchetta today consists of: slice of tuscan bread and various toppings such as: chopped tomatoes and herbs, chopped pate made from rabbits liver and many other nicieties, so this was my opinion and I was answering to the test given by the asker.

: sono completamente d'accordo. Salse (anche se sono cremose) riscaldate sulle bruschette colano, e non sarebbero adatte. "Battute" in questo caso è come quello di "Carne Cruda Battuta al Coltello".

Thanks - I think a picture would resolve this. Battute is one thing and frullato is another. Battute is noithing to do with runny. The real bruschetta is done with finely chopped tomatoes
