Italian Subs

I love Italian flavored "anything". Pretty much. This sandwich is no exception - and the tomato relish makes it unique and special. You can tweak the flavor if you desire to your personal preference, and pile on as much meat, cheese, and relish to your heart's content. These would make great picnic sandwiches!

I made the mistake of using a thick loaf of Italian bread. Yummy, but WAY too much bread, so definitely suggest sticking to the thinner sub rolls (or carving out some of the "insides" if you use a thicker loaf of bread like I did). The relish will turn to paste if it sits for too long, so don't make it too far in advance, and don't expect it to keep if you don't use it all in one sitting. I diced my pickles and banana peppers up and added them to the relish... mostly because I'm lazy. It worked well though, so totally up to you how you layer things on.
