This was my lunch yesterday. It is a sardine on whole wheat with Swiss today. The previous sandwich edition used no-fat cheese. Also I used a whole wheat hoagie bun instead of the whole wheat regular bread. And the pickles were on the side.
It tasted good, but was a little on the dry side. Next time in addition to the mustard I will blather it with no- or low-fat mayo.
Technically, this is a po-boy as sardines are fish. The excerpt below is from the History of Hoagies, Submarine Sandwiches, Po' Boys Sandwiches, Dagwood Sandwiches, & Italian Sandwiches Web site (link): [fish emphasis is mine]
"Po' Boy (poo-boy) - Also know as Oyster Loaves. Po' Boy is the generic name for the standard New Orleans sandwich made with French bread. They are considered a New Orleans institution. Also called poor boy. Always made with French bread, Po' boys can be filled with fried oysters, shrimp, fish, soft-shelled crabs, crawfish, roast beef and gravy, roast pork, meatballs, smoked sausage and more."
In addition, the article tells of the beginning of the po-boy, or poor-boy sandwich, in New Orleans. And it tells this reason for the name. Thesandwich, on a hoagie bun, was filled with scrap meat and sold for a nickel or given to the poor. Those 'poor boys really appreciated their po-boy sandwich.

In addition to my sardine sandwich, I had this for dessert. Cantalope with Blue Bell Light Homemade Vanilla ice cream. Yummy!
