Although I have been eating Italian sandwiches since I was a kid, there are some of you who may have never tasted one. This one is for you!

My version of a good Italian sandwich is just a little different...

First of all, you need a good loaf of Italian bread. Where I was raised, if you wanted one, you drove into the nearest city. The most well-known Italian breads were "DiCarlos" or "Cellones".

Then, you need salami and pepperoni.

Next, mozzarella cheese.

Further, bell peppers and tomatoes, especially from your family's own garden, which I had the luxury of, with thanks to the men of my family.

Finally, salt and pepper.

Voila!
