Big Bite Submarines
Big Bite Submarines is a type of sandwich that is distinguished by its large size and the variety of ingredients it contains. Originating from the concept of submarine sandwiches, Big Bite Submarines take the idea to a new level by offering an even larger portion and a wider array of fillings, catering to the appetites of those seeking a hearty meal. These sandwiches are typically served on a long, baguette-like roll, which is sliced horizontally and filled with various meats, cheeses, vegetables, condiments, and sometimes even salad ingredients.
History[edit | edit source]
The concept of the submarine sandwich has its roots in the early 20th century, with various regions in the United States claiming to have originated the idea. The term "submarine" comes from the sandwich's resemblance to the shape of a submarine. Over time, the submarine sandwich evolved, with variations in size, ingredients, and names, depending on the location. The Big Bite Submarine represents a further evolution, focusing on size and the diversity of ingredients as its defining characteristics.
Ingredients and Variations[edit | edit source]
A typical Big Bite Submarine might include a combination of several types of meat (such as turkey, ham, salami, and pepperoni), multiple cheeses, and a wide range of vegetables (like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and peppers). Condiments such as mayonnaise, mustard, oil, and vinegar are often added for flavor. Some variations might also include unique ingredients like chicken cutlets, meatballs, tuna, or even seafood, reflecting the diverse tastes and culinary creativity found in different regions.
The versatility of the Big Bite Submarine allows for countless variations, catering to a wide range of dietary preferences and restrictions. Vegetarian and vegan versions can be made by substituting meats with plant-based proteins and using dairy-free cheeses.

They are a staple in many sandwich shops, delis, and fast food restaurants, known for their ability to satisfy even the largest of appetites.
