it's a HOAGIE... not a sub. ;)the roll is the determining factor. :giggle:there is NEVER mayo. :Dlettuce is NOT shredded. :cool:if it's roast beef or tuna or turkey... then it's just a roast beef or tuna or turkey on a long roll. :ROFLMAO:



what's your regional sandwich and what makes it?
 

In our neck of the woods we call them "subs".

Anything goes on our subs, and there is no hard and fast rule as to how one prepares the fixings for said sub sandwich.

If it's tastes good and makes for a tasty sub-sandwich, in it goes! :)
 

the undisputed "breakfast sandwich" of NJ... a definite diner favorite... a pork roll (Taylor ham) sandwich with egg & cheese on a Kaiser roll. health food?... hell, no! worth every bite that's slowly killing ya?... sure!
 
We call long sandwiches "grinders" Hot or cold. Anything you want on them. Years ago, vinaigrette was the classic dressing.

The Italian combo was a favorite; salami, capicola, prosciutto, provolone, roasted red peppers, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, olives.....

Or the hot meatball grinder, with or without cheese. Sausage and peppers, eggplant parm, etc.

I was born and raised in Massachusetts. We ate "grinders", back home. My brother went on vacation down South. He walked into a deli and asked for a tuna grinder. The owner said they didn't sell any "grinders". My brother couldn't figure out why the owner had all the fixings, but would not make him a "grinder".
I'm not a purist, like wcwbf. If it comes on a long roll and fits into my mouth, I'm happy.
 
Well, Here it's not a sandwich, it's a taco.
But I REALLY MISS the torpedo sandwiches when I lived in Calif! The bread had to be really hard and crispy on the outside, fresh and soft inside. The bread was the secret! This was filled with sliced salami, sliced provalone, sliced turkey, sliced ham, and (another secret ingredient) sliced MORTADELLA.. The sauce is a Regina wine vinegar and olive oil sauce. (garlicky) I'll give you the mixture if you want. Then the lettuce, tomato,
I've tried to duplicate this here because IT CAN'T BE FOUND HERE! Can't get the crunchy crust bread here!
Once I learn to get this crust on my homemade bread, WATCH OUT! (NO, I AM NOT ITALIAN!)

Yes, I remember torpedo sandwiches, too!

Totally forgot about that name for them!
 
A sloppy joe is a sandwich consisting of ground beef or pork, onions, tomato sauce or ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, served on a hamburger bun. The dish originated in the United States during the early 20th century. We sometimes call them a wimpy here.

I had aunts and cousins in Scranton PA. I do remember them calling these "Wimpys"! They put finely diced bell pepper in the ground beef, too. Tasty.

I've heard the term "grinders" before!

Would have never remembered it had you not mentioned it, RR. :)
