I don't understand it. You can put the same ingredients between two slices of bread. I guess what I am after is what really makes a hoagie a hoagie??

You make a sandwich at home.
A hoagie is bought from a Mom and Pop store on the corner, and it has lunch meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and a delicious oil on an Amaroso roll.
I live in Los Angeles. I cannot get a hoagie here :-(
Can you send me one?

You gotta use the right roll to make a hoagie and S Philly has the best bakery's for rolls and Amoroso's is one of the most popular rolls to use. But it isn't a hoagie if it is on bread it is just another sandwich.

A hoagie is made on a hoagie roll which contains more breading than a thin piece of bread.

I grew up in Philly and have heard many variations, but i beleive the commonly accepted historical source for the word hoagie, came from the old time Hog Island workers and the unusually long , overstuffed sandwiches they became known for bringing to work with them. It was often two meals for them since their shifts were so long. It became a popular regional treat and then grew from there! A hoagie is basically a sandwich overstuffed on a long roll, normally italian. And if you are from the area it has to be Amoroso's bread ... mmmmmmm I miss it!

A hoagie is a type of bread, a sandwich is a general term. All hogies are sandwiches, but not many sandwiches are hoagies.

<>The hoagie (aka hero, submarine, grinder, and poor boy (or po' boy)) is a sandwich defined by the bread- a small Italian (originally) or French bread loaf and its amount of stuffing (large compared to the average sandwich). Some of the names and the composition vary regionally, but the real deal is always a BIG sandwich.
