I prefer the word Sub myself..................
My 85 year old Mom: “I’m coming out to the farm, today. I’ll bring Subs!”
She would eat Subs every day of her life if she could; I’ll be sure to tell her about this, though she’s MAD at Subway because they don’t honor coupons anymore, LOL!
I’ve tried “subs” in every part the country. None compares to a Philly sub.
Screw the illegal aliens and their tacos, I’m making meatball heros tonight :-)
Hoagie Day should only be a local holiday. It’s not a national thing, just like a cheese steak isn’t a national thing. A better name would be National Sandwich with a Long Roll Day.
When I get tired of them, I go for a Stromboli -
The word “sub” is used in California - although what Subway makes is not what I would consider a subway sandwich. Theirs are horrible (the one near me closed).
I think it’s all in the quality of the ingredients, especially the bread - high quality meats and cheeses too, and the sauce of course, and a good vinaigrette to finish it off.
Getting ideas for today’s lunch - have several really good local places nearby that know how to make a sub correctly.
We grew up on east coast calling g them hogies or subs and steak ones we called grinders “steak gRinders” (basically philly cheese steaks). One of my great treats abou once a month, when i saved up enougH money, was to get off school for the day, walk to the local pizza shop, and buy my own steak and cheese grinder, loaded with peppers and onions mushrooms. I wouod be In heaven for about a 1/2 hour or so.

Cento Hoagie Spread - It is chopped Hot Cherry Peppers & vinegar.

And here I thought today was all about Burritos!
I resemble that remark!
