I've never had a Muffaletta but I see one in my future. I was talking
to a buddie a few weeks ago after he went to New Orleans and he said
they're great. I do have a store-bought jar of muffaletta mix that
I've not open yet. It doesn't look as good as the recipe you posted
and I don't see any capers in it so thanks so much for posting your
recipe.

I'll also note the similarity to Chicago style Giardiniera. That
makes sense as it seems the muffaletta was originated by a Sicilian
immigrant.

You are correct. A muffaletta is a New Orleans version of a "sub"
"hoagie" "grinder" or whatever your part of the country calls an
Italian-style sandwich.
