Why these sandwiches are called Italians is a mystery to me since not one thing on them is Italian. But here in Maine you can go to any little general store or sandwich shop and get an Italian. Ham is the original, but other meats can be substituted (you have to specify like roast beef italian). Amato's is a sandwich shop up here that boasts the "Home of the Real Maine Italian".

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb sliced deli ham
8 slices deli cheese (american)
2 sour dill pickles, sliced
1 tomato, sliced

red wine vinegar
olive oil
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Cut sub rolls in half, but not completely through.
2
Layer cheese and ham on each of the rolls.
3
Top with sliced pickles, tomato, olives, onion, and green pepper.

Drizzle each sandwich with oil and vinegar and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5

Now here is a real Maine Italian. I used to love these as a kid living in NH. I haven't had one in ages and decided it was about time I did! Made mine with black olives, not the Greek. The ones I bought had regular black olives in them. This really hit the spot. Thanks!
