The Italian sandwich I'm thinking of, is a hoagie (submarine sandwich)
made on crusty bread. It has provolone, prosciutto, capicola, peppered
ham, Genoa salami, peppers, onions, tomatoes, black olives, olive oil &
vinegar, oregano. I am probably forgetting something, but just thinking
about it makes my mouth water. I have made them at home, using whatever
meats I can find here in the south, and I used Italian dressing. I
discovered that Publix supermarket makes a good Italian sandwich. I
bought one and took it to the beach in Florida.
