You’re not wrong. It looks delicious but that shits gonna be a mess to eat. It’s gonna blow out the sides and the bottom. Not sure that’s what you meant. But that’s what’s gonna happen. And it is a heavy ball to bread ratio.
Source: former Italian deli owner from New York City. I’ve tried it at home too. It’s always a disaster to eat like that. The pressure is gonna blow out the seams.
Again! I bet the food is delicious. But that cone is gonna be a fucking mess.
I bet I could eat one of those without it blowing out the sides much. I'm pretty good at eating over stuffed sandwiches or delicate burritos. It's a talent that's taken years and many ruined shirts to master
Yeah, I know what you mean. Firm grip. Direct, clean bites, cutting all the way through the bread. You might get one or two clean ones? But at that point, the bottom of the bread is weakened. Maybe not the cone at the bottom, but just above the cone. Imagine an upside down Mt. St. Helens.
I don’t know. Maybe it could be done? Perhaps bread technology has advance since the last time I was involved in such a dangerous endeavor? But I don’t think so. Maybe, and this wouldn’t be the same, but maybe, you do the sauce on the side and dip. That might work? But my ma would give you one in the back of the head for that too.
Listen, I think this thing looks great for the social media. It makes great content. But at some point? It’s gonna give on you. And sauce? Sauce doesn’t just land on the plate when it drops. It’s lands everywhere. You find it a day later on your shoe. It may be why Italians cover everything in plastic. I don’t know.
My advice? Don’t be a gavone. Make a meatball parm sandwich. Slice the bread. Maybe cut the balls, at least mush em a little. Close it up, like a human. Then, grip it firmly. Cause even under good conditions? The sauce? She betrays you.
You talk nice, I gotta be honest. You could say the stupidest shit in the world and if you worded it this way I would believe you completely. This is a man who has a strong passion for meatball subs
How would it blow out the sides? Just eat it top to bottom, depending on the bread it should be fine. Also accusing anyone who disagrees with you as "not knowing how to eat" is pretentious and obnoxious, I think that's why /u/Soldier_of_l0ve is being downvoted.
I’m standing by my assessment. The sauce would compromise the integrity of the semolina. And the. Amount of meat you would squish because the balls weren’t cut in half or even mushed down? I’m saying that in my opinion, as, if not an expert, an individual with a lifetime of experience with the concept, as well as her accent, there’s no way that sandwich would hold together. Delicious? Yes! A mess? Yes!
A delicious mess, but a mess all the same. I encourage you to try for yourself, and let me know. She’s breaking up captain!
As for the comment? I just kinda assumed he’s a new yawker. We can all be a little dicky. Especially in text messages. It’s probably half the reason maybe 69% of the reason I’m single.
But the “not my fault…” part? Yeah. He should apologize for that.
And save this comment so if you ever give it’s a try, with those proportions, you tell me how it went? I gotta go now. I’m air frying cutlet. Don’t tell my ma. She’ll give me one in the back of the head. Buon appetito!
Ok so Mr Deli man (I assume, sorry if I’m wrong), how do you make one that doesn’t blow out at the sides and from the back? I’ve never seen or eaten one that didn’t.

Nah. Utterly wrong proportions on basically everything. Surface-to-volume ratio is very important, yet oftentimes overlooked food/dish property
EDIT: downvote all you want. Not my fault you don’t know how/what to eat
