Poll: I've got a nice long...

[Brandon237]

Oh damn, I thought this thread would be more... phallic. Even the shape of the poll was decent for once! What is this?

Dick joke incoming!
ETA: 30 seconds!


OT now: I chose sub because that's how we roll in my family!

Glad I am not the only one who saw this...

in scotland theyre subs because we got the idea from subway.

Same here but for England.

Maybe if you're young or ill-educated. Personally I'd call it a baguette.

[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?

Where in New England are you? Cause the area around me everywhere I've been, Vermont, Maine, Mass all call them Subs

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

there fixed it for you

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.

I apologize if I came across as being jerkish, that wasn't my intention. And wiki's definition makes sense

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Sub, like submarine. Because... you know it looks like a submarine. Not that it really matters what you call a sandwich.

Yup. If it wasn't for Subway, I'd think OP was weird for asking because I'd just call it a sandwich.

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

Like everyone in western Europe, I know it as a "subway sandwich". The only place you'll get them here is at a shop known as "Subway".

PS; The thread title joke isn't funny.

 

[revolutionaification]

That's a "Subway" to us Scots for obvious reasons: Namely, that's the only place that really sells that type of sandwich over here.

 

[RatRace123]

PS; The thread title joke isn't funny.

Nope, but it is attention grabbing. Most people would probably skip over a thread with the title of "Sandwiches".

Sorry for the double post, but it seems you're the ignorant one here, baguette is French for bread, but typically is used in English to describe a specific type of French bread that looks like this; http://images-mediawiki-sites.thefullwiki.org/10/4/1/5/84919861599037634.jpg
A sub doesn't actually use this bread, but even if it did, the fact that it has a filling means it would have a different name, for example, you wouldn't call a typical sandwich just bread.

To be fair, that cartoony picture looks like a fooking baguette.

I'd say the bread type is a baguette, but I would call the actual sandwich a sub.

Actually if you were better educated you would know a baguette is crusty and a sub is soft.

 

[Jonluw]

I don't really know.
Either sub or baguette or something. I don't even know if we have a name for it.

Oh, look, you edited my post in your reply. How cute.

None of that changes the fact that it's a sandwich, and it's long.... thus, my correctness.

nap nice long nap thats all i have to say

 

[RaNDM G]

In my neck of the woods, we call it "Sandvich."

We're not Russian. We just play Team Fortress 2 a lot.

 

[Something Amyss]

Grinder or sub. A couple of thre Greek shops around here used to call them gyros, so I was surprised to find out what an actual gyro was.

 

[AngloDoom]

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

HIIIISSSSSS!

OT:

I think most people in England call it a sub. For me, it;s either a sub or a baguette. I've not even heard of a grinder or a hoagie...you made them up!

It was also a lame reply that didn't deserve the extremely over used and lame in and of itself "/thread" ending

he didn't ask you to describe the sandwich, he asked what it is called in your area long sandwich is a descriptor, not a name, because the type of bread it comes on along with the way it is prepared all have an effect on what it is called.
