Hoagies

[yesno]

It's almost all subs in NJ except for the parts right near Philly, and maybe southern Jersey.

Theoretically they're called "heros" in some parts of north Jersey but I don't think that's true anymore.

In Western PA, we call them subs.

Although, nobody eats subs around here. This is the sandwich of choice:

I lived in Pittsburgh for 8 years and never heard anyone refer to it as a sub. All hoagies. Fish hoagies, steak hoagies, chicken hoagies. And Primanti Sandwiches, of course. But I like them from Tom's Diner on a hoagie roll... the steak, slaw, tomatoes, fries and provolone. Mmmmmm...

In Baltimore, they're subs and they suck compared to the hoagies in Pittsburgh except here you can get "hots" on your sub instead of just hot banana peppers.

I ate one of these today. Colossal Fish. most excellent.

I think my favourite Primanti Bros is the Market Square one. Its got the charm of the original, but its not as crowded and there's a Prantl's across the street so I can get cookies for dessert. Solid Pixburgh meal.

We call them "hot dogs" in Oklahoma. Or "long sandwiches". As in "give me one of them long sandwiches"

When I was about 3 years old and living in Rochester, New Hampshire, they were referred to as "Italian sandwiches."  But since the globalization of Subway, they're just "subs" around there now.

You're right, Erika. I've asked around the last several days and everyone has said they call sub sandwiches "hoagies."

I stand corrected.

I've been wanting to say that since this thread started.

Broodjes is the name for little sandwiches in dutch. I pronounce it broood-jeeeees. But I doubt that's correct.
