I would clothesline someone right now to get to one of the shrimp po boys
shown in the above link. No mayo, please.

It's a sandwich. It has many names such as "hero", "submarine", "grinder".

In the South, especially in coastal areas, it's made with fried
seafood: shrimp, oysters, catfish.

I do like fried oyster Po Boys with lettuce and good quality tartar sauce.

I used to get his posts but I never saw him post *anything* that wasn't
nasty or cruel. He really isn't worth reading.

Many years ago there was a little restaurant in Galveston that made the
most wonderful fried oyster po' boy sandwiches.

We were living in the RV at the time and all at once I got a craving for
one of those sandwiches from that little shop.

We hooked up the next morning, hoisted the jacks and drove a couple of
hundred miles to an RV park in Galveston, just so I could have my sandwich.

I ask you, how many people can or will move their home several hundred
miles just for a sandwich?

I recall seeing some people eating sandwiches after a tornado moved their
home, but I guess that's different.

It's a sandwich but what is in it depends on where you get it. We got
frozen ones when I was a kid. They came on a submarine roll and I'm pretty
sure that the fillings were cheap bologna and American cheese. You baked
them in the oven to heat through. I didn't particularly like them but they
were cheap and easy to fix. My friend and I often chose those for dinner
when we had sleepovers and had to get our own meals. We would also get
frozen turnovers which weren't really cheap. But the Po Boys were cheap
enough that it allowed us enough money left over to get the turnovers.

Bologna and cheese is not a Po'Boy.

Not only is that NOT a po' boy sandwich, it's not even real food.

The original story of the Po Boy comes from a strike by streetcar operators. It's quite a tale.

An RV could be anything from a pop-up tent to a $500,000 motor home...
so I'd have to assume you would be making that Po'Boy run as the first
leg of a tour, otherwise I'd have gone by automobile even if I needed
to rent one, would cost less then lugging a gas guzzling RV... not
even many years ago when gas was cheap. When I lived on Lung Guyland
I'd make the 250 mile round trip into Brooklyn just for decent pizza
(L&B Spumoni Gardens) and canollis.

It was a frozen product and that is for sure what they were called.

Those were available for many years. Don't know if you can still get them.
Haven't looked for them. But I do remember buying them for my husband.

Wikipedia says, "po boys consist of meat, usually roast beef", this is
their first sentence describing a po boy. I have been to many
restaurants and roast beef po boys are not on the menu, the exception
being Acme Oyster House and Maspero's. Most restaurants that serve po
boys will have shrimp, catfish, crawfish and oysters.

We went to this restaurant Saturday and you will notice that roast beef
is not on the menu.

For an appetizer, we had Parmesan crusted oysters, George had the
Alaskan Halibut with Jumbo Crab and I had the Costa Rican Tilapia
Lafayette.
