Since the weather was so lousy here and no one felt like cooking, we ordered submarine sandwiches tonight for dinner. Which got me to thinking. What do you call subs where you live and what do you like on them?

Most places around here call them subs, although occasionally I see grinders or tunnels on the menu. For a cold sub, I like ham and provolone cheese with lettuce, mayo, Italian dressing and black olives, and if its served warm, I like meatballs topped w/ sauce and mozzarella cheese.

I love subway roast beef subs with provalone cheese, all of the veggies and with toasted bread. YUM!!! We have a subway sandwich shop in our office building and I have them for lunch many days a week.

I grew up calling them subs (submarine sandwiches) but they're also called grinders now where I live

[BostonTeaParty]

In Boston they're called subs.

We call them subs. And I like ham with lettuce and oil. It's the only kind I will eat, and they're usually from Subway!

[DCLFANATiC]

We call them subs here, I've never heard of grinders or tunnels. I liek mine with salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, lettuce, onions, and ranch dressing. If it's a warm sandwich I like meatball subs.

[GoofyMom]

They're subs. Usually I have ham, turkey, some kind of cheese, pickles, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes. And if it's a Subway Sub, I also get them to put a little oil&vinegar on and some green peppers.

I have always called them subs, but have seen some places around here calling the hot subs grinders.

[RobDVC]

They're HOAGIES in Philly.
Grinders around here are hoagies that have been thrown in the oven to toast the roll and melt the cheese.

I like Italian hoagies with oil, hot peppers, lettuce, tomato and onions and Roast Beef hoagies with a little mayo, hot peppers, lettuce, tomato and onions.

Call them subs....

When I started working I was picking up lunch for one of the managers. He told me to get him a Hero. I was like what A hero... I didn't know what it was ...

I went to the sandwich shop and told them a hero with ......

I was the happiest person when they gave me a food item to bring back to the office.

Thats when I found out subs are heros as well as grinders.

I guess we've always called them subs or hoagies. We don't get them often, but when we do, it's almost always from Subway, so "sub" is the chosen term here!

[debsta922]

I grew up calling the cold subs, "subs" and if they were heated they were "grinders". Now I just use "sub" for all

[Joanne929]

Around here they're called "subs".
I think a grinder is a "sub" that's been toasted.

[graygables]

Now that my mouth is watering We call them subs and get them from Subway, club on honey oat with lettuce, tomato, extra pickles and black olives, deli mustard, and vinegar!!! Grosses everyone out, but I've been eating subs like that for 20 years now!!!

One of my biggest pet peeves about moving out here to York, is that everyone calls them Subs....
