The hoagie is a type of sandwich very popular in the United States, especially in cities like Philadelphia, where it is known as a classic fast food item but with an artisanal touch. Its origin dates back to Italian immigrants who arrived in that country and adapted their traditional ingredients into a more casual and accessible format. In Latin America, this type of sandwich may have different names depending on the country: in Mexico some call it a "hoagie torta" or simply an "Italian sandwich," while in Argentina it could be compared to a "sándwich de miga" although with some variations in ingredients and bread. The main characteristic of the hoagie is its elongated and crispy bread, generously filled with cold cuts, cheeses, and vegetables that combine to create a robust and delicious flavor.
Over time, many variants have emerged that include different types of meats, cheeses, and dressings, and one of the most interesting is the Spicy Turkey Hoagie, which incorporates a spicy touch and blue cheese that give it a unique and sophisticated flavor. This sandwich is perfect for those who enjoy intense flavors and contrasts between creamy and spicy.
