[HEADING=1]Sandwich[/HEADING]

Here's a question, what is the name of this type of sandwich?

In America and probably other parts of the world, depending on what region you're in, it could have a different name. Here in New England, for example, it's commonly referred to as a "Grinder", but in other parts of the country it could be called a hoagie, hero sandwich or a sub. I'm sure there are even more names for it too, I just can't think of any more.

So my question to you all is, what's the common name for that type of sandwich where you live?

I live in Eastern Massachusetts, and we call them subs, and I really want to go get a steak and cheese now

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Being from Connecticut (originally, I'm in Florida now), I'm here to inform you that a grinder and a sub are not the same thing.

It's a sandwich. To be specific? The long kind.

In Florida we call it a sub. But up in western Pennsylvania, where I go to college, they all call it a hoagie, and they'll be damned if they let you call it anything else. xD

 

[wooty]

No matter what kind of "sandwhich" it is, I still always call it a butty

 

[Armored Prayer]

In the general DC area people just call them subs. Probably due to all the Subway restaurants on almost every corner.

I suspect that your college is somewhere near Pittsburgh, that would make sense.

Whatever the makers of my delicious snack call it, I call it that.

Subway- Subs.
Italian Resturante- Hoagie.
My mother- Sandwich.

Etc.

Here in my area of California, we call it a sub/sub sandwich.

I'm in central mass, and they've always been called grinders here. I thought that was the case in the rest of the region, it seems I was mistaken.

Ah, yeah, I looked up the difference and apparently a grinder is a specific type of sub, and the word for it is originated from Italian slang. A grinder is a toasted sub, according to wikipedia. Since it's wikipedia, make of that what you will.
