Not John Lennon at Wawa

Hoagies have oregano, or, sometimes, Italian spices.
Subs are bland meat sandwiches.

Well, it's a sailing reference so I'd imagine it might be used anywhere there's a history of such. She also used to call Bilco cellar doors "bulkheads" (also a ship reference) which I've never encountered elsewhere.

You are probably right about both. I also use the term bulkhead for those cellar doors.

I call 'em Wizard of Oz Kansas tornado doors. But that's just me....

Bilco and bulkhead are interchangeable here, but I'd never heard 'Bilco' used anywhere else. I just assumed it was because Bilco is a local company.

Not surprising that John Lennon wasn't at Wawa, since it is a very small community near Lake Superior Provincal Park, not far from Gitchigoumi, the big sea water.
And while I can't swear to it, I don't believe the Beatles ever played or even contemplated playing there.
As for Hoagies, the ones you might be able to get up there probably have Moose meat in them.

What about a Montreal CheeseMoose? I'd be in.

Junior year at Arizona State in Tempe (1971), I worked at a popular sandwich shop just off campus where we made hoagies. Naturally, the owner was a transplant from somewhere “back east.” Never knew what hoagies were until I started working there, but I’ve liked saying the word ever since!

I… don’t think that’s right.

adorshki,
Why a Montreal CheeseMoose?
Despite all the B.S. that Montrealers shovel about how Toronto is a gastronomic wasteland compared to their French Canadian Center of the Universe, if you leave your guns at home, and slide up here for a visit, we'll treat you to some mighty fine Toronto CheeseMoose.

Here's what Wikipedia says when you look up submarine sandwich:

"A submarine sandwich, commonly known as a sub, hoagie (Philadelphia metropolitan area and Western Pennsylvania English), hero (New York City English), Italian (Maine English), grinder (New England English), wedge (Westchester, NY), or a spuckie (Boston English), is a type of American cold or hot sandwich made from a cylindrical bread roll split lengthwise and filled with meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments. It has many different names.

The terms submarine and sub are widespread in the US and not assignable to any certain part, though many of the localized terms are clustered in the northeastern United States."

Many local and national/international chains make them here. Subway, Capriotti's, Jersey Mike's, Port of Subs, Cheba Hut, Firehouse Subs, etc. Now if you want a really incredible sandwich, go to New Orleans and get a Muffuletta, or here in Vegas at Jason's Deli. So amazingly tasty!!

"The traditional-style muffuletta sandwich consists of a muffuletta loaf split horizontally and covered with layers of marinated muffuletta-style olive salad, salami, ham, Swiss cheese, provolone, and mortadella. Quarter, half, and full-sized muffulettas are sold.

The signature olive salad consists of olives diced with the celery, cauliflower and carrot found in a jar of giardiniera, seasoned with oregano and garlic, covered in olive oil, and allowed to combine for at least 24 hours."

Damn!! It's barely six o'clock here and I'm already hungry!!

It's alliterative. (Not to be confused with canadian.)

a spuckie (Boston English),

Love it. If I told my buddies I wanted a spuckie for lunch I suspect I'd wind up at an establishment not dedicated to eating.


Subway:

Yum?

"Spuckie's"

The signature olive salad consists of olives diced with the celery, cauliflower and carrot found in a jar of giardiniera, seasoned with oregano and garlic, covered in olive oil, and allowed to combine for at least 24 hours."

And the floor show is not to be believed.

Here's a local Muffuletta from Jason's Deli.



Insanely delicious!!

Here's a local Muffuletta from Jason's Deli.

That sandwich originated in Sicily as the mafalda and was brought to New Orleans by Sicilian immigrants. It is equally amazing, especially when made with insanely great bread.

Hungry yet?

 

[GGJaguar]

And for dessert...
