Just googled that to make sure I had never had one. Might be time to make your own?

Grilled pork steaks sounds fantastic! Enjoy!
 
My wife has mastered the muffuletta, though I can't claim to know how she does it. It took her a few tries to really get it nailed down.

Oddly enough, one of the local ski hills always has muffuletta on the menu at the lodge cafe. They're actually pretty decent, even though the bread isn't quite right. They do manage to find mortadella, which we can rarely get our hands on, so bologna gets used as a substitute.

Here is my recipe for the olive part.

The rest is pretty straight forward with the meats and such.

I cant seem to get a muffaletta off my mind. No one has them around here. I guess I going to have to go to Dallas to find one! Mean while guess grilled pork steaks going to have to do today.
oh man, as much as Nawlins makes my skin crawl, I've never seen one anywhere else. it would be hard to duplicate. Central Grocery lived up to it's name. I'm sure there are better.
 
Rest assured I took care of your 6 or 12 for today.
Glad I could count on you! I tried to hold the narcs and have a few. S**t plan. Far more pain than pleasure. Looks like its dry March (narcotics excluded). The Narcs just are not that fun. maybe after im more stable i'll hit some gummies. but I fear a fall on crutches. sorry TMI...
 
Back in my low carb days I went on a muffaletta mission. Of course I couldn't use real Italian loaf (round is the loaf of lore) but I was making pretty good low carb breads at the time and used my low carb flatbread recipe.

It was a great sandwich

From my research there are two things that really set the sandwich apart. One is the olive salad. An absolutely ridiculous amount of ingredients to make it "traditional". Steve H's is more reasonable. I did it once but have settled back to just a solid tepanade recipe. The second thing is the wrapping and resting, overnight even.

I've been tempted to do it again, especially since we are eating real bread, but I always thought bologna was overrated, and for me mortadella is nothing but bologna with what looks like visible chunks of fat in it...I've just never been a big bologna fan, even as a child I didn't like it.

I DO make Italian subs or the Americanized version. I dont know if Italians actually make subs. I had a full blood Italian uncle, literally rescued from Italy after the Allies liberated it. I never heard or saw him or his brother and sister (who escaped just as the Nazi's rolled in) mention or eat one.

If I've made a batch of tepanade I'll use it on my Italian subs.
 
The olive salad makes it. Used to get a very good recipe on the NOLA cuisine website. Seems this site is no longer available.

Go to Jimmy's Food Store (Dallas) order one to go and they also sell everything needed to make at home
