Remarkable

Submarine sandwiches are sandwiches served on long Italian bread rolls, similar in shape to French baguettes but wider -the long roll might remind you of a submarine- and filled with all sort of deli meats, cheese and lettuce, tomato and "mayo" or any Italian dressing. They are often referred as subs and delicatessens in New Jersey prepare them on the spot.

One finds this kind of sandwiches also in all the surrounding Estates, only they have different names. You will eat hoagies in Pennsylvania, heroes in New York, and grinders in Massachusetts... the name does not matter, all of them are great sandwiches.
