I hollow out bollilo or hoagie rolls to make my grinders.I tried
making east-coast style grinder with whole, round links of sausage and
everything was a big mess. I prefer my grinder with strips of beef
steak, plus the mushrooms, onion, peppers and a meltable cheese. I
imagine that cutting the sausage into coins would make eating a lot
easier.
