Ever have a poboy?

Here, have a poboy! It's a sausage poboy but it's still a poboy.

No, but I've had a sub sandwich.

sup fellow CTfag

what's your favorite kind of grinder? I like a good chicken parm.

What are poboys like? What are the essentials that should always go in 'em? Also, why call 'em poboys? They seem to have a pretty spread of ingredients, stuff that wouldn't be in reach for the "po" boys.

the bread. It's a dry, crusty, semi crunchy french bread loaf that is hard to find in other places. Other than that there are usually a few simple toppings and a meat/seafood filler.

YUM! I love poboys, but not smoked sausage. I like pattons hot sausage much better instead. Or shrimp, or debris, or hot ham and cheese.

Why can't americans into bread?

Every time I see an american sandwich it's either that disgusting processed pre-cut white bread that tastes like cardboard, or something cheap- and insubstantial-looking like the ones here >>4350288 >>4347822

I wouldn't eat this bread if it was the last food on the planet and I was about to starve to death.

I love po-boys. My favorite is the hot roast beef from a local po-boy shop. The fried chicken one is also good.

No. >>4350255 has it perfectly right. The bread is a lot of what makes the po'boy a good sandwich. If you look at google images for pictures of po'boys, you'll notice a consistency in the bread. Similar to muffalettas, if you fuck up the bread, I'm not buying a po'boy from you again.
When I lived near D.C., a few 'New Orleans' joints opened up - only one used that type of bread which it had flown from New Orleans to D.C., which I learned after the fact. Guess which restaurant was the best by a mile. I guess you can argue that if the owner was willing to pay attention to small things like the bread, they were more likely to make a good sandwich, but honestly, anyone who's had po'boys can tell in a second if the bread is right or not.

>>4350647
Yessir. The bread is what MAKES the po-boy. Without the right bread it is just a regular sub or grinder or what-have-you. Bread is crucial.
