On a long roll of Italian or French bread, the hoagie consists of meats, cheeses, eggs, spinach, sauces, and seasonings.
However, the source of this massive sandwich is a little bit of mystery.. The epicenter of the controversy appears to be eastern Pennsylvania between the DiCostanzas and DePalma's.. Both lay claim to being the first to make the hoagie. One family claims to have been making the sandwich since 1923 and the other since 1925. But who has the proof?
Shipyard workers are delivering huge Italian sandwiches to work wrapped in newspaper, according to another story from the Philadelphia area during World War I. The large sandwiches helped the employees through their long, grueling workdays.. Since anyone eating them at one sitting would have to be a hog, the workers nicknamed the massive sandwiches "hoggies." The Philadelphia accent reveals the word's change. The dialect often exaggerates the vowel sounds, from "hoggies" to "hoagies" in a jumbled manner.
One story takes place outside of school – almost literally. If a child skipped school, it was branded being "on the hook" or "playing hokey" at one time. A child on the lam could afford a "hokey" sandwich. Eventually, "hokey" became "hoagie," especially if the children were skipping school.
