heros
Deli submarine sandwiches
Heros is a plural of hero, used for the sandwich rather than the person.
A hero is a long sandwich on a crusty roll, known regionally as a sub, hoagie, or grinder.
I ordered two heros for lunch.
The standard plural heroes applies to both sandwiches and heroic figures, but heros persists informally for the food.
