Good morning ya'll! This place is addictive!! But that is a wonderful thing!
A Muffelatta (Heath called it a Muff) is a New Orleans Tradition. It's wonderful!
It's hard to explain so the food dictionary has a description:
***********************************************************
muffuletta; muffaletta
[muhf-fuh-LEHT-tuh]
A specialty of New Orleans, this HERO-style sandwich originated in 1906 at the Central Grocery, which many think still makes the best muffuletta in Louisiana. The sandwich consists of a round loaf of crusty Italian bread, split and filled with layers of sliced PROVOLONE, Genoa SALAMI and ham topped with "olive salad," a chopped mixture of green, unstuffed olives, PIMIENTOS, celery, garlic, cocktail onions, CAPERS, oregano, parsley, olive oil, red-wine vinegar, salt and pepper. The olive salad is what sets the muffuletta apart from any other sandwich of its ilk.
It's all toasty and crunchy!

I think I will try what Heath said and have it without the bread! You're right Heath, it won't be as good but it will kill the craving.
I've got to go eat breakfast....eggs & bacon.
Until later.....
