Not really.. Maybe the shape?
 
I knew it. I watch all those kind of food history shows, got
most burned to dvd. I'm really fascinated by how tastes
change over the decades, and how certain styles came to be.

My mother often told me about how my grandfather came to name his sandwich the Submarine. She remembered the incident very well, as she was 16 years old at the time. She related that when grandfather went to see the Holland I* in 1927, the raised submarine hull that was put on display in Westside Park, he said, “It looks like the sandwich I sell at my store.” From that day on, he called his sandwich the “submarine.” People came from miles around to buy one of my Grandfather’s subs."
 
Thanks for posting that. The few times I've had one I tried to figure out the difference between a po boy and a sub/hoagie. Now I know - none.
 
I may have been wrong this time only :roll: I had the sub confused with a torpedo sammy...
