What is the difference between a hoagie and a sandwich? |
Travel Info I don't understand it. You can put the same ingredients between two slices of bread. I guess what I am after is what really makes a hoagie a hoagie?? Travel Tips You make a sandwich at home. A hoagie is bought from a Mom and Pop store on the corner, and it has lunch meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and a delicious oil on an Amaroso roll. I live in Los Angeles. I cannot get a hoagie here :-( Can you send me one? Others A hoagie is a type of bread, a sandwich is a general term.

Some of the names and the composition vary regionally, but the real deal is always a BIG sandwich. I grew up in Philly and have heard many variations, but i beleive the commonly accepted historical source for the word hoagie, came from the old time Hog Island workers and the unusually long , overstuffed sandwiches they became known for bringing to work with them. It was often two meals for them since their shifts were so long. It became a popular regional treat and then grew from there! A hoagie is basically a sandwich overstuffed on a long roll, normally italian. And if you are from the area it has to be Amoroso's bread ... mmmmmmm I miss it! A hoagie is made on a hoagie roll which contains more breading than a thin piece of bread. Amoroso's rolls are what make a hoagie a hoagie! |
