A 'po' boy' (from the name "poor boy," as the sandwiches were traditionally given to the poor street boys by the nuns in New Orleans) is a New Orleans sandwich similar to a "sub" sandwich. They can be made with anything, but are typically made with a type of meat and "dressing" (lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and sauce). Mother's Restaurant in New Orleans is well-known for their debris po' boy, made with the "debris" from a roast that falls into gravy when a roast is cut.

Ingredients

• French bread
• Thinly sliced meat (ham, turkey, roast beef, etc.), fried seafood (shrimp, oysters, fish, etc.), etc.
• Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc.
• Sliced cheese
• Mayonnaise, mustard, gravy, etc.

Procedure

1. Slice the bread along one side so that it folds open like a book.
2. Open the bread and add the cheese, shredded lettuce, and meat.
3. Add condiments to your liking.
4. Close the bread (as you would a book) and mash it down.
