What is a Muffuletta Sandwich?
The Muffuletta sandwich is one of the quintessential foods of New Orleans, although people from outside the region may not be familiar with it. It reflects the immensely diverse culture of New Orleans, and is rarely found anywhere else, except in communities with large groups of ex-Louisiana residents. In New Orleans itself, many sandwich shops offer Muffulettas or “Muffs,” and for people who do not have access to the sandwich, it can also be made at home.
