muffuletta
New Orleans hoagie
A muffuletta is a large round sandwich from New Orleans, made on a distinctive sesame-seeded Italian bread and filled with layers of cured meats, cheeses, and olive salad—a tangy mix of olives, vegetables, and oil that soaks into the bread.
The same word names the bread itself.
We split a muffuletta at Central Grocery.
