Muffuletta!

Cher and just one section of the infamous Muffuletta! Even the wrapping is big enough to make a shirt out of.
What is a Muffuletta you say?.................Just the BEST signature sandwich of New Orleans. (Just as good as the New Orleans Roast Beef Po-boy) As you can see the Muffuletta is one big honkin' sandwich!

It was actually "created" in 1906 at the Central Grocery in the French Quarter. The sandwich consists of the round loaft of crusty Italian Bread, split and filled with layers of sliced Provolone cheese, Genoa salami and Cappicola ham, topped with Olive Salad: a chopped mixture of green, unstuffed olives, pimentos, celery, garlic, cocktail onions, capers, oregano, parsley, olive oil, red-wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Yum!

If you ever get to New Orleans you gotta try one! Usually it will feed four people, each section is so big!
