LyraM45 0 #1 November 17, 2006 So... it's the life long question of hoagie, sub, hero, grinder, etc. Which is it? What do you call your sandwich? I walked into the deli today on campus and asked for a turkey hoagie and the deli worker looks at me like I had three heads! If the argument was up to me, all sandwiches would be called HOAGIES, because that's what they are! Then again I'm from Jersey, so I'm biased. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebabin 0 #6 November 17, 2006 Hoagies were invented in your neck of the woods. Named for the sandwiches served to the workers on Hog Island, which is now the site of the Philadelphia airport.

SpeedRacer 1 #8 November 17, 2006 wait. a sandwich, or sammich, is made from flat sliced bread. a sub/hoagie/hero/grinder (only in New England) is made from a french loaf-shaped bread sliced down the middle. I say "sub" (I've lived on the East Coast). "hoagies" are what they call it out west. Crusty old New Englanders call it a "grinder." I have heard of "hero", but I don't know anyone who actually uses that term. I think it may be an outdated term from the '60s. Then again there are those Greek things with the beef & lamb & the Tsziziki sauce called gyros, which dumb, uncultured people pronounce Jai-Ro, but is actually pronounced "HYEE-ro" glad to be of some help.

Nothing makes you as happy as a sammich I'd prefer to extend it to a "bigazz sammich"... and, of course, i'd like the beer and blowjob while watching the game to go with it. Then again, I'd like to get paid more so I can actually afford to jump out of a plane more than once every few months. Uncle Sam sucks sometimes...Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.

Squeak 17 #11 November 17, 2006 one thing i noticed when last in the states is that you lot call anything between 2 bread like products a sandwich. We have 2 main Types of bread product (not inclucing unleaven, pita lavash or totilla breads). We have sliced bread, with which we make sandwiches, and We have Rolls (aka Buns) with which we make, Burgers and Rolls with. So ifI ask for a Burger it will always come on a Roll. When we went through a Hardies in Miami, my mate had to tell the drive though person that the burgers were "sandwiches" i was expecting them to arrive on sliced bread, but they were Rolls you lot are STRANGEYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

I do the same thing, grinder, phily, hoagie, whatever. Subs seems to be the most common term here in Seattle, what with Subway and all. When we make 'em at home we call them subs. I still prefer a New York strip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SpeedRacer 1 #16 November 17, 2006 QuoteSo ifI ask for a Burger it will always come on a Roll.
