The term EDIBLE HERO is a combination of two words, HOAGY (5 letters) and HOAGIE (6 letters). A hoagy is a type of sandwich that originated in the United States. It is made with a long roll filled with various meats, cheeses, and vegetables. A HOAGIE is similar to a hoagy, but it is usually larger and has more ingredients. Both hoagies and hoagies are popular snacks and can be found in many restaurants and delis.
