Who's getting het up? I'm curious as to the derivation of the term, but as
we discuss it, it helps to make sure people know the difference between a
term used for a dish, and one for a food item.

As far as sandwiches go, around here they call the type you're talking about
a "grinder", which always makes me wonder why they want to pick grindstones
and wiring out of their teeth...
