Grinder
Hero (NYC only, pretty much)
Po' Boy/Muffaletta

Howa 'bout "Gyro?" I know, it's pronounced "hero." Now there's a nice sammich type thing that goes great with mayo.
Mayo on a Gyro? Naw, it's the tzatziki sauce that makes it, which is made with yogurt and cucmbers.

If you are going to include gyros then tacos, wraps and burritos should be included as well
Normal people are just people you don't know very well.
Almost by definition, a sub/hoagie/grinder etc. must be made on either Italian or French bread long loaves. No taco, wraps, burritos etc.

Canada's top fries accompaniement are either gravy (see Quebec'spoutine), vinegar (also a UK thing), with ketchup rounding out the top threeDon't they eat french fries with mayo in Canada ??
I lived with some hosers at one time.It's not true that they put beer on their cereal in the mornings.
Mayo on fries is more of a Franco-Benelux thing (though Dutch mayo is rather sweet)

I did say if gyros were considered. Also by your definition muffalettas would not count as well as the muffalleta bread is a round loaf.

Muffscan be either on round rolls or in a chunk of Italian or French long loaves. There is a Madison restaurant, New Orleans Take Out, owned by a transplanted NO Cajun chef (wife from here), who makes both Po' Boys and Muffs on French long loaves, and says that's common down there as well.
Gyros? Fuggeddaboudit

Hmm all the Muffs that I have had both in New Orleans and elsewhere have been on round Muffaletta loaves which really have a distinct flavor and texture from typical french long loaves. I would argue that what you are describing would more properly be called a Muffaletta poboy.Muffs
Gyros? Fuggeddaboudit
BTW.. I agree on the Gyros

In Vic's defense, I've been known to add a little mayo to keep the bun moist. Nothin' worse than a dry hot dog bun. Sometimes I mix mayo and yellow mustard for a tangy sauce.
I used to get roast beef po-boys (dressed) from a foodstand in New Orleans when I was a kid. Best sandwiches in the world.
In France and Holland too.
I Always eat fries with mayo (depending on availability). Otherwise, i'll have ketchup, but I do prefer mayo. Hellman's in particular, i just love it.
The only food that truly requires ketchup (a tradition in my family) is tourtière (meat pie). That's a must 'round the holidays, along with the cranberry jelly (atocas) and the turkey with the yummy stuffing.
Back to the original subject, BLT is indeed a fine sammich, and I douse that mofo with Hellman's. Nice alternate touch is to use baby spinach, gives it a little additional zing.

Vincent: You know what they put on French fries in Holland instead of ketchup?
Jules: What?
Vincent: Mayonnaise.
Jules: Goddamn.
Vincent: I've seen 'em do it, man. They fuckin' drown 'em in that shit.

Salt & Vinegar is what I have on my chips!
McDonald did a commercial especially for Belgium spoofing that movie for a buger called McDeluxe, where the mayo was heavily miustarded

I am sorry, but the best Po' Boy does not stand a chance against a great Cuban sandwich.
I also like vinegar with Old Bay on my fries. Another interesting thing I found to dip your fries in is tarter sauce.
Don't be sorry. I love a good Cuban sandwich, too. But 'round here we call it a ham n' cheese.
Cuban sandwich FTW!!!
Don't be sorry. I love a good Cuban sandwich, too. But 'round here we call it a ham n' cheese.No, no, no!
You have to have the yellow mustard, pork, and pickles! It's not just a ham 'n' cheese!!!

Yeah. Ya can't get a good Cuban sandwich outside of Florida.
Well, maybe in Cuba.
Ham and cheese ? Sounds like lame and lamer.Better off with a BLT.
So what part am I doing wrong?

FWIW, very good to great Cuban sandwiches could be found in NJ, NY and Puerto Rico.
I do not think there has been a decent Cuban sandwich served in Cuba for quite a few decades.
