    Being from South Jersey originally, I grew up calling it a "hoagie". But in Rhode Island, it's an "Italian grinder"- hot or cold (RI has it's own language!)

    Those are all (or mostly all) different things. The bread type, whether the bread is grilled or pressed, what goes in it, etc.

    I don't think I can answer this question unless you clarify exactly how the sandwich is prepared.

    I think we can assume what is meant is a sandwich prepared on what is basically a cross between a hot dog bun and a baguette.

    They are called Subs because they keep surfacing after being eaten. <_<

    It's a Guinea Grinder. But in California it's a sub and I've had to learn to speak the native language.

    I grew up where they called them hoagies. Grinders were baked hoagies. I really don't care what you call them, I love them all. Its like sex, no bads ones, some better than others.

    It's interesting- apparently, in some places, a hot hoagie is called a "grinder". I grew up near Philadelphia, but I never heard the word "grinder" used to describe a sandwich until I moved to Rhode Island, where they call any sandwich on a long roll- hot or cold- a "grinder".

    Of course, in Rhode Island they also call milkshakes "cabinets". It must be something in the water.

    Growing up just outside Allentown, PA, they were always hoagies. Once I moved to NJ, they became subs.

    Here in CA portable food is most often a burrito. If I want to bring a sandwich to the beach I order an 'eggplant sandwich' on a sourdough roll.

    i've always called them subs. i remember when i was younger going down to the pizza king on my lunch break at work and picking up a hot sub with a ton of cheese on it for lunch. after that, i always order extra cheese on my subs :)
