Hoagie
The hoagie is another name for a submarine sandwich local to the Philadelphia area. It generally consists of an elongated roll (called a "hoagie roll", similar to a baguette), oil, vinegar, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sweet peppers and a selection of meats.
Traditionally, the hoagie was thought to have originated in Philadelphia, but a Delco Times Article claims that it was actually a product of neighboring Chester City in Delaware County.
While hoagies vary from hoagie shop to hoagie shop, its aroma is ubiquitous across the area and distinct from imitation hoagies across the nation. This is believed to be due to the Amoroso (a large bakery based in Philadelphia) rolls which are made with Philadelphia water.
