| | History of the Submarine Sandwich (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | The submarine sandwich, alias "Italian Hero," "Hoagie," "Grinder," "Poor Boy," "Dagwood," or any other name its individual creator wants to call it, originated in Naples, Italy as small meat and cheese sandwiches on little rolls with pointed ends. |
 | | The Naples origination eventually developed into its American counterpart to become a king-sized sandwich on an Italian loaf of bread approximately 12" long and 3" wide, filled with boiled ham, hard (or Italian type) salami, cheeses, lettuces, tomatoes, onions, and sometimes flavored with garlic and peppers. |
 | | Throughout the years lovers of the sandwich added variations such as oil and vinegar, oregano, and anything else that may have suited their palate. |
