Now, can y'all from the South tell me what you call the type of sandwich
which is made with very long rolls which is often referred to in the
northeastern parts as a Hero, Wedgie, Hoagie, submarine, etc.?

When I lived in New York, I knew them as Submarine Sandwiches or Hero
Sandwiches; I could understand Submarine because of it's long shape, but
hero?

Then I moved out here to New Jersey and heard the terms "Wedgie" and
"Hoagie" (from South Jersey and Pennsylvania.)

So, I'd be interested in any other names for these sandwiches made with a
bread that looks like a long Italian loaf...or French loaf. <Grin>

Oh--yeah--the double meaning of "Sloppy Joe" really got me.  Now, the way I
knew it in New York, Sloppy Joe was a ground-meat based affair that was
slapped onto hamburger rolls and ended up being a delightful mess that
usually tasted good.  When I moved to NJ, the term Sloppy Joe was suddenly
this sandwich of some-coldcut-meat and a lot of coleslaw.  I'm so
confwoozled!

Cheers,
