Good enough for me. I would nix the oil and salt, add hot peppers if available and maybe a little mayo. Just a little.

Capicola, Genoa, Pepperoni, Mortadella, Provolone, lettuce, tomato, oil & vinegar, chopped cherry peppers (often called hoagie spread).

MUST be on one of those hard Italian sub rolls that cut the roof of your mouth .

Pretty much what everyone else says-genoa, hot capicola, procsuitto, mortadella, provolone( although a good mozzarella from my favorite Italian deli is so much more tasty than store bought)giardiniera,lettuce, tomatoes, black olives.And then I buy a fresh loaf of bread from Sciortinos on the east side.It doesnt get any better than that!!

Just finnished one for lunch today.
Mortadella {imp} hot and sweet capicola, soprosatta, and imported provolne.

I gotta say, I don't really care for mortadella. I don't particularly care for bologna either. It's strange, because I love German style hotdogs - which is very similar to bologna. My wife buys mortadella from time to time and so I'll make a sandwich out of it with other meats like genoa salami, capicola and such. But it's definately not a favorite.

I am with you on this. I like the stong tastes of the other meats, I almost htink of this as watering down the sandwich.

I think I get salt just out of habit, I can never even tell it's there. I'm all for hot peppers (I'm all for hot anything) except banana peppers and cherry peppers, because I just don't find them hot. Jalapenos. Oh yeah.

crusty French or Italian bread
olive oil
red wine vinegar
oregano
lettuce
sliced tomatoes -- salt & pepper on the tomatoes
a few very, very thinly sliced rings of red onion
genoa salami
sorpressata
prosciutto
sandwich pepperoni
1 slice of mortadella
black pepper ham (sometimes called prosciuttini)

a good roll put in oven for a few so it gets crunchy on the outside.
light mayo
genoa salami,virginia ham,capicola,germon bolagna,provolone or swiss or maybe both,red onion,tomato,50/50 romain/iceberg lettuce,olive oil,salt/pepper,italian seasoning roasted red bell pepper(if I have it)
pepperoncini peepers on the side and some good quality chips (UTZ) a good Lager to wash it all down.Here's a pic of one I made not sure the exact ingredients but what is listed is pretty much the norm at my house.

At a local Italian market in Columbus (Carfagna's) they have sub rolls which they call pizza shop sub buns. They are about 9 inches and seeded. I get the saem ingredients most have mentioned here though I often splurge and get a small amount of the imported prosciutto which is like $17 a pound. Lately I have been using Beano's Original sub dressing and it has been a hit with everyone. I think I just decided what I want for dinner.

I frequently use those rolls from Carfagna's. I have to tell you though, using the very expensive Prociutto di Parma, for which I last paid $25 a pound, on a sub seems a waste of money. If I had to have prociutto on a sub I'd buy the domestic stuff.

God, someone who thinks they know it all can't even spell prosciutto.
Who gives a crap about where the submarine was invented. The food channel said New York. Personally, I don't give a damn.

You're probably right. They sell it in 1/4 pound packs and I usually just put on one piece per sub and then eat the rest by itself or with fruit or cheese as a snack.

That's what I buy when I get the Prociutto di parma -- the quarter-pound packages of slices meat. I've had problems with some of the people when asking them to slice it for me.

But you cared enough to read this thread, and enough to share this bit of petty nastiness with us. Thanks.

and now...back to the subs :-)

Oh, I don't know everything. I do know that prociutto is one of the two acceptable ways to spell that particular ham. I do not know who gave you permission to use your mommie's computer.

See?

I don't like rainroosty's comment, completely uncalled for. Nothing worse than people posting slams on other people's typing/spelling/grammar. I like to think of us an an informal group. But prosciutto is the only proper way to spell that particular ham, especially when talking about prosciutto di parma. In Parma, Italy, it's spelled "prosciutto." In italian, the two words, "prosciutto" and "prociutto" wouldn't even be pronounced the same.

In fact, there are two accepted ways to spell it. Because of that I vary my spelling.

I don't know Michael, you would normally have posted something to support your point by now, if it was there.

Well, that's not correct, but I don't really care how you spell it. I definately agree w/you that putting expensive parma ham on an italian sub is a waste of money. With all the other meats and flavors on an italian sub, the delicate difference of parma ham vs. domestic parma-style (or Capicola for that matter)is lost and thus money is burned. $25/lb isn't a bad price either. I often see it packaged in 1/4lb sliced packages at ~$8. I definately wouldn't put it on a sub. For that, I'll get the domestic (or canadian) stuff as you suggest at about 7.99-9.99/lb or better yet, I tend to use Capicola on my italian subs.

Just a quick few instances of prociutto:

Your examples all show the s used in the recipes, so perhaps the others were simple spelling mistakes that we all do at times. i.e. I don't want to be the first person to start a prociutto "tag". There are a number of prosciutto tags however.

they are all spelling errors made by individual posters or menu makers, not secondary spelling versions. Visit the Parma, Italia and you'll see how it's spelled. Visit the companies' websites that produce the product. Using common spelling errors from posters on a website or from menus as proof of your foible, is every bit as bad as using wikipedia as a reference source.

Truth is, if "prociutto" was a correct spelling, it wouldn't be called "prô-'shü-(,)tô," since the "sc" is what gives the "sh" sound like the word "crescendo." The fact that some chef in Nantucket doesn't know that, doesn't mean squat. It's wrong.

In fact, if you google "prociutto" in Parma, Italy, you get ZERO hits for that word. ALL hits spell it "prosciutto." Apparently, in Italy, they don't misspell it.

It's ok to be wrong. It's not the end of the world. Similar to your, hopefully, revelation, I mispronounced "fustrated" for years, until one of my friends said, "dude, it's 'frustrated.'" And I said, "that's what I said...isn't it?" And he said, "no. you said fustrated." And I said, "why didn't you tell me that years ago?" He said, "I never found the right time."

That was "fustrating" because I hadn't heard of a silent "r" either.
