Italian Sandwich / Sandwich Italien

The thing that makes this sandwich delicious is the pickled pepperoncini. Peperoncino (plural peperoncini) is the generic Italian word for any hot chili pepper - the sweet peppers are called peperone (plural peperoni). But just to make things confusing, pepperoncini is ALSO the name given to a specific kind of Italian chili pepper that you can find in the pickle aisle of many American grocery stores.  Pickled pepperoncini look and taste a lot like pickled banana peppers so feel free to substitute if pickled banana peppers are easier for you to find.
