Muffuletta: the second most famous sandwich in New Orleans
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time when you think of famous New Orleans sandwiches the Po\u2019 Boy is the first thing to come to mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Muffuletta is a hybrid sandwich that may be lesser known but I promise it\u2019s packed with meaty goodness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Muffuletta definitely has Italian roots but it\u2019s a New Orleans original. It\u2019s said to have been created by the owner ( a Sicilian immigrant) of the Central Deli on Decatur st in 1906. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The massive sandwich consists of olive salad, Italian meats and cheeses piled high on a 9\u201d round sandwich roll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normally cut into triangle slices and sold by the slice or shared with a number of people. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years many other delis and restaurants have created their own versions with different combinations of meats and cheeses although the olive salad is a mandatory component of the sandwich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other main debate is whether the sandwich should be served hot or cold. I\u2019m definitely on the fence in this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both are quite delicious and it\u2019s amazing how different the same ingredients can transform when heated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The melted cheese along with the warm Italian meats really do come alive when heated but I am also a fan of the classic version served cold.
