muffaletta sandwich
(1 rating)
A Louisiana classic. Meat,Olive salad, cheese, fresh garlic and an enormous (10 inch) round loaf of bread. You make it, press it down and wrap tightly and wait a short while before eating it to insure BEST flavor !! A true Muffuletta Sandwich must always be served at room temperature, never toasted; it is considered blasphemy to heat the sandwich. Close your eyes,take a bite and go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
