We call our taylor ham Pork Roll.

What do you call your fizzly sugared beverage? We call them soda.

It's quite funny how a simple sandwich can have so many different names. I know in new york they are "wedges", yet 100 miles away if you ask for a wedge at a hoagie place they say "what?"

Here in Portland, we call them Italian Sandwiches and they are made on a fresh long roll with your choice of meat (ham, salami, cappicola, etc) cheese, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, black olives, sour pickles, and topped with olive oil, salt/pepper. Originally made in the early 1900s as a quick lunch for the Italian men who worked down on the waterfront here in Portland.

Here in North Jersey they are subs. Nearly everyone that that calls them something different isn't native.

We'd call them a long roll. There is now a franchise on the scene called Subways, and they have added " a sub" to our language over here. Isn't the hot flattened italian version called a Panini?

 

[Trawlerman]

erm.... Lunch anybody ?

Nah, we call 'em Submarine Sandwiches or Baguettes like Mike pointed out.



Now our breakfast sanwiches in this area. Bacon, Eggs, Sausages or whatever are called BANJO's. Or they are at least called that on the fish docks.

It's funny though. Stray too far away from the fishing community in Hull in and the name draws a complete blank with people

FWIW, we have our own individual language down there!

I live in Los Angeles.

I call them Subs.

I used to live in the midwest and northeast, and have heard them called subs and grinders.

It's a shame to have to resort to the Ignore list... I thought racism was against head-fi policy.

Anyways..

I'm not sure what they were called in Finnish, but I think ever since Subway moved in, you could get away with calling them Subs.
