They vary. A long (6, 8, 10, 12 inch) piece of bread like a large "hot dog" bun or short "french bread". Slit open lengthwise. Stuffed with all sorts of different meats, cheeses, spices, condiments (mustards, mayonaises, various "salad dressings", olives), and who knows what else. I think it is also sometimes called a GRINDER and down here in the South (USA), sometimes called a "Po' boy". -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
