Grinder = Hoagie = Submarine sammich = Hero = Wedge = Spuckie

A sub by any other name would taste as delish.

Several years ago, I stumbled across a website that claimed to be able to narrow down which part of the US you were from, based on the terms/colloquialisms used for various things, eg.
Calling carbonated soft drinks; soda vs pop vs coke
Trunk road vs highway vs freeway
Sub vs Hoagie vs

I found it quite amusing/fascinating.

I was also quite amused when someone from the South said they could pinpoint folks who grew up in/near Chicago from hearing them pronounce "Coke" with two syllables (comes out sounding like, "Co-wuhk"). 😅

There is definitely something to it.

But for me, accents make it much easier.

Whenever I hear a guy talk about pawking the caw at hawvad yawd, I start to get an idea he's not from around here. But my favorites are those folks talking aboot some place north of the 49th parallel, ey?
 
A 2# stripped bass that I purchased yesterday and just cleaned to be steamed for dinner tonight. Yum! :)

The 2# bass was too big to steam in my regular steamer & wok, so I decided to steam it in my French fish poacher instead.

Here's a pic of the set up:

Here's the bass in the poacher after it was done. I put 2 small condiment bowls below the insert to allow more water to be used for steaming.

And here's the bass as plated --- w/a small mixture of heated canola oil/soy sauce & seasame seed oil poured over it and topped w/fresh ginger & scallions:

I ate the whole fish myself along w/steamed rice and some grilled asparagus. It was a little more fish that I'd normally eat in one serving but steamed fish doesn't reheat well. So, it was better to eat it all at once. It was delicious! :)
