What's that you're eating?

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! :)

That sesame roll for the win.

That was the last of a 2-loaf pack she bought...wanted to use it before it got stale. Forget what it even was, but was the first time we tried it and it was awesome. Was almost like scali, but the loaves were much narrower, and it had a hint of sweetness.
 
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! :)
