    Came from Italy and to be fair I didn’t try too much American food, I guess some corn meal and pancakes, meat was really good; but the real greatest thing I found in the US is the HUGE sandwiches they make in the Publix supermarket. Great stuff, loved it.

      Those sandwiches also come in regional variations up north. Grinders or Hoagies.

      My wife took me to a local deli where she grew up in CT. I got a meatball sub.

      The roll was from my finger tips to my elbow. it had 4 meatballs on it bigger each than my fist. It was around $12.

      She got the same, but a pepperoni version with tomatoes and lettuce. Each one had to have been 5 lbs of meat.

      In New Jersey I got a hoagie, the bread was so big, you couldn’t close your grip around it using both hands
