A Real Maine Italian

---

Why these sandwiches are called italians is a mystery to me since not one thing on them is italian. But here in maine you can go to any little general store or sandwich shop and get an italian. Ham is the original, but other meats can be substituted (you have to specify like roast beef italian). Amato's is a sandwich shop up here that boasts the home of the real maine italian"."
