a.k.a. Hoagies, heroes, sub[marine]s, torpedoes, poor boys, wedges,
"Italian Sandwiches" and probably by any of a plethora of other
regional names. Generally involving a long roll or split long loaf of
bread, this is just a big sandwich.

These are eaten in Europe, too, but usually with a little more
traditional association between the regional name and the filling.
So, for example, the pan bagnat of Southern France is [presumably
almost] always tuna, anchovy, olive, boiled egg, and vegetables, and
[presumably almost] never salami and cheese.

In the US, though, the above sandwiches have evolved to the point
where they can be filled with anything without identity loss.
