I think pizza comes by the slice or the pie, so I'd order a large pie, sure.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I grew up in Northern New Jersey, and our family called them "hoagies", but my dad is from the Philadelphia region, and that's where I think he got it from.

What is even happening?
We always called them subs/submarines. I find 'hoagey' and 'grinder' still catch me off guard. My school lunch menu always referred to the sandwiches as 'grinders' which was weird, because it was so not the common term in our area.

In the years before Subway infiltrated my hometown, we had a local chain (3 or 4 stores total) called Sub Diggity (RIP!) that made really good sub sandwiches. Now, there's another good regional chain called Potbelly's whose sandwiches are toasted and of teh yum.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When we were selling them as a fundraiser for school, it was called the "Hoagie Sale." (It was a yearly event.) I don't think I've ever used "submarine."
Hmm. Meatball sub. Meatball hero. Italian sub. Italian hero. Eggplant sub. Eggplant hero. Turkey sub. Turkey hero. "Meatball hero" and "Italian hero" sound more right to me, but it's definitely "turkey sub," not "turkey hero." Eggplant can go either way.
The kind you get for parties is definitely a "six-foot hero," though. I can't get that phrase to sound right to me with any word other than "hero."

I didn't encounter the word hoagie until the Cosby show. Up until then, it was subs. Hero, grinder, etc? Those were mostly learned in the Internet age, though I may have come across them in books and figured them some similar-but-not-quite animal.

Hey, what's in caeser salad dressing that would make me flush/light face sweat while eating it? And only while eating it? The vineagar, maybe? It's so weird.

Is it bought dressing? Maybe msg or something weird?
