For some reason, every time I hear the term Submarine Sandwich, I am reminded of the Sunday morning comics that I used to steal from my father’s newspaper every week. Specifically, the “Blondie” comics featuring Dagwood and his insanely huge sandwiches.
While it’s certainly not a Dagwood Sandwich specifically, the submarine sandwich was another favorite of his and it’s fun that it brings those memories back. So, let’s get to making one, shall we?
From Wikipedia, “A submarine sandwich, also known as a sub, wedge, hoagie, hero, grinder, or one of the many regional naming variations, is a type of sandwich that consists of a long roll of bread split widthwise into two pieces, and filled with a variety of meats, cheeses, vegetables, seasonings, and sauces..”
What is the difference between Italian Dressing and Sub Sauce?
To be honest, not much other than marketing. Sub sauce uses the exact same ingredients as Italian Dressing. While some companies may make their own slightly different just to differentiate themselves, in 95% of the cases, they are identical. So, if you are making your Submarine Sandwich and aren’t sure what to use, grab that bottle of Italian Dressing (or use our recipe linked above) out of the fridge and you are good to go!
