sub sandwich

Long stuffed roll

A sub sandwich is a sandwich made on a long roll of bread split lengthwise and filled with meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments.

The name comes from the roll's resemblance to a submarine.

Regional names vary widely: hoagie in Philadelphia, hero in New York, grinder in New England, po'boy in Louisiana.

I grabbed a sub sandwich for lunch.
