That's the one. In my experience the pork is usually marinated  
overnight in a crushed-garlic-and-oregano paste, sometimes with other  
seasonings added, and then roasted slowly for several hours until  
it's almost as tender as pulled barbecue...

The rising number of chains selling "toasted subs" can't hold a  
candle to this...
