| The origin of this classic American sandwich is uncertain, but legend has it that it comes from the 1930's Conti's Grocery out of Patterson, NJ It's name, "Submarine", is said to come from the Groton, Connecticut US Navy Submarine Base. During World War 2, this huge sandwich was fed to returning sailors and solders, not only because it was quick to prepare but it was inexpensive to make! This classic Sub is prepared with 12 inch Italian bread, and stuffed with cold cuts including salami, prosciutto (dry cured ham), capicola (dry cured pork shoulder) imported ham (cured ham), provolone cheese, roasted peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oil and vinegar, and then often oven toasted!
