In Highwood Illinois, north of Chicago, in teh 60s there was an amazing shop called the Hoagie Hut. the best hoagies/subs/grinders I have ever had. Found them again about ten years ago in a new location but it was a tired version of what it had been.

In most of the areas of the country we have lived in, or passed thru, the term SUB would be the accepted identifier...(IN the PRE-SUBWAY World !!) I do recall Grinder being used in Eastern Mass when I was in college, and Hoagie while we were in Central Jersey in the 70's, but the universal definition would be a "SUB"

Hoagie or Sub: In the final analysis, I don't care what it's called. I'd just like to order the sandwich in the blasted picture!

Sorry, I neglected to say that the Hog Island Shipyard was on the Delaware River at Philadelphia.

Re:Hoagie or Sub? (ChrisOC)

During WWII, workers at the Hog Island Shipyard carried sandwiches for lunch. These were made with Italian meats and cheese on a big loaf of Italian bread. (Italian stone cutters I have worked with eat the same thing today) These sandwiches became known as Hoggies (after Hog Island) This became corrupted to HOAGIES.

So now you know.

I had the best sub sandwich ever at Parkside Philly Cheesesteaks (yes, the cheesesteaks are great, as well). 12 slices of ham, 6 slices of salami, six slices of provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoe, onions, oregano and oil and vinegar dressing. It was on a nice soft italian bread. Just the way I like it. The place is on 340 Belleville Ave. Bellebille, NJ.

In WI, we call them subs or grinders. No hoagies here.

I've never heard "grinder" here...

So....you didn't like history as a history teacher....so how did your students fare?

Back on topic. Central CT. Grinders or subs. Rarely hoagies.

On a personal note, those pictures show a stacked amount of meat. Looks very efficient. I actually prefer my grinder, sub or hoagie to have the meat loosely placed so there are pockets of air. The flavors come out more and it doesn't taste like meat cardboard. I would not like a sub like the ones pictured. Stack it loosely, the flavors do not meld together into something that tastes like a deli meat roll wrapped in lettuce.

Again, a personal pet peeve. I do enjoy reading Mr Hoffman's posts so that was just a joke and I meant no disrespect. He is certainly a very entertaining and valued poster. No offense meant Michael.

Again, loosely place meat. I need therapy for that...sigh....

My students did quite well. I kept a Louisville Slugger at my desk at the suggestion of the Brothers. As all of my students were football players, and I was a football coach at the high school, they managed to pick up a few things during the course of the year.

Now that I can't say. I've never been a fan of history. In fact, I didn't like history when I was a history teacher.

There's an old Pequot legend About the day the Wamauraugnog became angry with a Pequot maiden named Grotonoawig because she refused to give up her human form and become his concubine. In venting his anger the Wamauraugnog thrashed about with such violence that the Thames River was created -- although back then the Pequots named it Wamauraugnogisoakay, which means Holy Snapperblue in Pequot, but was shortened to Thames 200 years later by English settlers who were very lost and didn't know they were no longer in England.

But to continue, Wamauraugnog's anger also included a curse that has lasted to this day. It was explained in Pequot lore that on the day a non-Pequot attempted to settle on the east bank of the Wamauraugnogisoakay the curse would cause those living on the west bank and the east bank to become confused often, and in their confusion they would forget on which side of the Wamauraugnogisoakay they happened to be.

It is this curse that is believed to be the cause of the United States Naval Base at New London to actually be on the east bank in Groton.

Wasn't that just a special on the History channel??

When I was stationed in New London Conn. (this was many years ago) what I call a hoagie was a grinder. In Philly a grinder is a hoagie that has been toasted for a minute or two under the broiler. Confusing isn't it?

Considering the sub originated as a sub at a grocery store in Groton where workers at Electric Boat would go for sandwiches on their lunch breaks, I find it strange to think anyone there would call it a grinder. But that aside, in my part of Connecticut all subs were called subs, both hot ones and cold ones. Where my wife was from in Connecticut a hot one was called a grinder while a cold one was a sub.

I was buying the sandwiches on the base. Perhaps grinder was the Navy name and not the local.
But speaking of confusing names, how is it that the New London Submarine Base is across the river in Groton?

Nice. Russo's in Wildwood makes an excellent sub. But they call it a hoagie. A great cheesesteak as well. I wear a tee shirt I bought from them and when I wear it here I'm asked what a hoagie is.

Seems like it's called a hoagie in PA and South Jersey (although some places like AC called it a sub), a sub in the rest of Jersey, a hero in N.Y. and a grinder in New England.

Actually I rarely hear the term "grinder" in New England...most people here use "sub" as in "I'm going to make a run to the sub shop".
