How to Make a Hero Sandwich... YUMMM

We are currently reading about the history of sandwiches. We read an article called, "How to Make a Hero Sandwich". Did you know that a hero sandwich has many different names? They can be called subs, bombers, hoagies, heroes, and a few other names. Here is our explanation of how to make a hero sandwich according to the article that we read:

This is how to make a hero sandwich. First, you need to hold a piece of French bread. You need to hold it on its side. Second, you need to slice the bread. You should slice it in half, lengthwise. Next, you can layer on slices of meat and cheese. You can use ham or salami. For cheese, you might use provolone, swiss, or American cheese. Then, top the sandwich with lettuce and tomato. After that, add oil, pickles, and hot peppers. Hot peppers and onions are optional, you do not need to use them. Finally, spread mayo and mustard on the sandwich. A hero sandwich is easy to make. Eat that hero sandwich!

At the end of the unit, we hope to have a hero sandwich party! Look for pictures coming up!!
