A submarine sandwich, commonly known as a sub, is a type of American cold or hot sandwich made from a submarine roll (an elongated bread roll) that is split lengthwise and filled with meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments.[2][3]

Although "submarine" or just "sub" is the general term for both the bread roll and sandwiches made with it in both the USA and other English speaking nations, there are many local nicknames, especially in the northeastern United States, such as hoagie (Philadelphia metropolitan area and Western Pennsylvania English), hero (New York City English), Maine Italian (Maine English), grinder (New England English, Fulton County, NY), wedge (Westchester, NY) or spuckie (Boston English).
