I explained that there was nothing Italian about a Hoagie, but that didn\u2019t make him any happier.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t really sink in.\u00a0 He had this expectation, and it simply was not met.<\/p>\n<p>A Hoagie (or Italian Sub) is really nothing more than an American sandwich with Italian-inspired ingredients, but it is by no means Italian.\u00a0 As Americans, we live our lives with the belief that more is always better.\u00a0 \u201cExtra Cheese\u201d, \u201cMile High\u201d, \u201cSuper Size\u201d,\u00a0 \u201cEverything on it\u201d\u2026 I could go on ad nauseum.\u00a0 So an American walks into an Italian deli, and when ordering a sandwich, it has to have everything under the counter in order to be good.\u00a0 The Italian Hoagie is born.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balance_is_the_word\"><\/span>Balance is the word<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In Italian culture, more is not better.\u00a0 It is all about balance.\u00a0 So a hearty sub (It would be called a Panino in Italy) will have a delicate mixture of a few ingredients.\u00a0 The closest you will get to your Italian Hoagie is a baguette with a little prosciutto, a little mozzarella, and a few tomato slices.\u00a0 Balanced ingredients to create a symphony of flavors, not \u201cstacked high with more\u201d, therefor better.<\/p>\n<p>There was an Italian deli in our neighborhood in Los Angeles.\u00a0 The owner was an Italian immigrant who had owned this place for years.\u00a0 There was a tacit understanding there when you ordered a sandwich from him. If you walked in speaking Italian, you hardly had to order.\u00a0 He knew what to do, but business is business, so if you were not speaking Italian, he made the \u201cmile high\u201d hoagie, shaking his head all the while.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Olive_Oil_Dipping_Sauce\"><\/span>Olive Oil Dipping Sauce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Find me an Italian restaurant in the states that doesn\u2019t bring out bread and dipping sauce.\u00a0 Naturally you would think it is Italian.\u00a0 But in Italy, bread is eaten plain.\u00a0 No butter, no sauces.\u00a0 After you eat a dish of pasta, or a second course that is saucy, you may pick up some of the sauce with the bread.\u00a0 Yum, that is called \u201cScarpetta\u201d, but it is generally considered poor table manners.\u00a0 But you will never see olive oil dipping sauce.\u00a0 Tourists will walk into restaurants and see olive oil, vinegar and salt at the table, then will instantly make their own dipping sauce.\u00a0 The thing is, those are there for salad, since in Italy you dress your own.\u00a0 When a waiter not accustomed to tourists sees this dipping concoction, they will wonder what on earth you are doing.\u00a0 They won\u2019t stop you, but I can pretty much guarantee that they are talking about it in the kitchen.\u00a0 Don\u2019t these people know the salad condiments are not for bread?<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.culturediscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/dressing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-418 alignleft\" title=\"Italian Dressing\" src=\"https:\/\/www.culturediscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/dressing-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"What we think of as Italian dressing is not at all Italian\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Italian_Salad_Dressing\"><\/span>Italian Salad Dressing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Since I am on the subject of Italian salad, there is no such thing as Italian Dressing.\u00a0 Pick up any bottle of \u201cItalian\u201d salad dressing and read the ingredients.\u00a0 You will see oil, vinegar, peppercorns, hot pepper, rosemary, garlic, oregano, basil, black pepper, parmesan, sugar, thyme, etc.\u00a0 As I explained with the Hoagies, it is a complex recipe of Italian-Inspired ingredients with the more is better attitude..\u00a0 But if any Italian tastes this stuff, they will likely spit it out in disgust.\u00a0 You will NEVER find this stuff in Italy.\u00a0 Dressing for salad in Italy is simply Olive Oil, Vinegar, and Salt.\u00a0 Period.\u00a0 Salad is always served with no dressing so that you can do it yourself to your taste.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spaghetti_Meatballs\"><\/span>Spaghetti &amp;

French Fries\u201d pizza.\u00a0 They also have an \u201cAmerica Pizza\u201d, which among other ingredients that make me lose my appetite includes Ketchup &amp; Mustard.\u00a0 With that in mind, while Italians once got offended at the thought of pineapple &amp;
