Po' boy

A Po' boy is a traditional sandwich from Louisiana, similar to a Hoagie or submarine sandwich. It consists of meat or seafood (typically fried) served on a baguette. A Po' boy ordered "dressed" has lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise.

They are called "Po' boys" because they are considered low-budget food. A half Po' boy is six inches long, a full Po' Boy is a foot long.

The most common fillings are fried shrimp, oysters or catfish. Also available are standard fillings like ham or turkey. Roast beef is served warm with gravy.
