submarine sandwiches

Elongated stuffed loaves

Submarine sandwiches are long sandwiches made on cylindrical rolls, typically filled with cold cuts, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and condiments.

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

Regional names abound: sub, hoagie, hero, grinder, po'boy—often with local variations in preparation or ingredients.
