Romney Orders 'Sub' In Hoagie Country

Add this to the list of presidential/political food blunders: While campaigning in the heart of hoagie country, Philadelphia, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney went to a Wawa and asked for a "sub."

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, "Romney ordered a meatball hoagie with pickles and sweet peppers — he asked for a 'sub' but quickly switched to the regionally correct name."

Grub Street notes that even though Romney did correct himself, his order was even a mistake. Instead of asking for a specialty Wawa hoagie, he asked for a standard meatball hoagie with pickles and sweet peppers, which just didn't cut it. Whoops!

This isn't the first time Romney has made a culinary blunder; he has inadvertently insulted a local bakery by suggesting their cookies were from 7-Eleven, not to mention saying that sending hecklers to Obama speeches is fine, that "sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."
