Short description
This sandwich balances rich deli meats and cheese with a briny chopped olive salad.
Ingredients
Round sesame bread layered with cured meats, cheese, and chopped olive salad.

Common misconception
It is not just a large cold-cut sandwich; the round loaf and olive salad are the key identifiers.
