I live in CA and have never heard of a sandwich being called a grinder. I've heard Po-Boy, but here in norther california, we call it a sub or a deli sandwich.

RN here in Iowa a grinder is usually made with ground sausage and other items. It definitely is not a sub/hoagie. And to tell the truth I had never even heard of a grinder until we moved back to Iowa last year. So maybe it's in other areas than SE Iowa that have grinders [we are in Central Iowa now.] Funny story - to me at least - when we first moved here and went to HyVee to get some groceries in the meat department we saw "guinea grinder" meat and I was like oooooh yuck they eat guineas here? [Never knew what a guinea was until we moved to Kentucky and our landlord had some, one which was in love with our cat Zippy and would come to the window and call for him.]

RN I've never heard it called a Wedge or an Italian. I've heard of Italians with Wedgies... but that's a whole 'nuther story!

RN that's what I thought, but it's just a mixture of different types of ground sausages. Still even hubby, who loves sausage, hasn't had the stomach to try it, esp when I told him HE would have to fix it. *L*

RN: When I think of Guinea, I think of those ridiculously stupid birds that are the worst mother's EVER. They drag their babies right out in front of cars, track them through mud puddles when it's icy cold out, abandon them to dogs, cats, etc. I think they lose half of their babies in the first month of their lives. AND, they are everywhere in the outskirts of my town. Seriously, they will run straight down the middle of the road, with babies in tow instead of getting the heck outta the way. I swear, I want to hit the mother for hope that the babies would have a better chance of surviving! Not that I really would, but still.
