Muffaletta
The muffuletta is both a type of round Sicilian sesame bread and a popular sandwich originating among Italian immigrants in New Orleans, Louisiana, using the same bread. We had one when we were down there (waited in line for almost 20 minutes at Central Grocery but it was worth it). I thought it was a little salty but god knows i was sweating so much in NOLA that I needed the "electrolytes." Fun sandwich and cool because it reminds you what a melting pot of cultures New Orleans has.
