What do you call a large, crusty sandwich? (restaurant, coke, Pepsi)

[country pride]

I remember back in Riverside many years ago they had a place where you can get grinders, those were those large, hoagie-style sandwiches with the crispy crust. And they were so LUCIOUS!

If it has shrimp on it -- has to be a po-boy!

I call it a sandwich.

Although most places I have lived it is called a Sub.

When I was a teenager I worked in a deli that had THAT same sandwich and they called it the Gran Sulto Marino, which they told us was Italian for submarine. It was some kind of good!!! (I was in Northern Virginia at the time)

for me... "crusty" is a Hoagie. softer bread is a sub.
