A hero sandwich, also known as an Italian sub or Italian submarine sandwich, is said to have originated in New York in the late 19th century when Italy Manual labour wanted a convenient lunch that reminded them of home. The hero is traditionally at least two Italian meat and provolone cheese on a small or half loaf of crusty Italian bread with roasted Green pepper, vinegar, olive oil, and lettuce. It is a pork-based sandwich; popular meat choices include ham (meat), prosciutto, pepperoni, capicola, mortadella and salami. Tomato were not a historical ingredient of the hero, but are often included in modern heroes. Synonyms and similar sandwiches are called elsewhere in America: heroes, subs, grinders, hoagies Submarine sandwich or '''po'boys'''. Sandwiches American cuisine
== Origin of Name == I've always understood the name "hero" to be a mispronunciation of "gyro", which is itself an incorrect pronunciation of "gyros". Since the sandwiches are similar, at least to people who don't understand gyros meat, I figured at some point the same name was applied to both by American customers who didn't understand the ethnic differences in the two foods. Am I completely off base here? --User:66.194.217.222 12:43, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
