It means something else, according to Urban Dictionary.


Cos of course that's what she meant in discussing actual Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Please, con, Tremula.  ::)

This is like the US equivalent of a doner kebab?


OMG. NO.  No, it isn't.

And for the record the cheese should NEVER be Cheese Whiz.  Yuk.

Actual "dirty" ones. So I Googled that phrase. I thought it might be an idiom. So it is.

And hate to admit it but I prefer ketchup on mine, yum.

That's okay! I'm from south jersey (20 mins max from philly), and we all put a bit of ketchup on ours... with grilled onions and provolone cheese, of course! :)

Yummy!

I have room in my heart, and stomach, for many a cheesesteak types.  I'm from the Lehigh Valley and we put a tomato sauce, sort of like marinara, on our cheesesteaks, but I like all kinds. 

But I don't like cheese wiz.   ;)

Sainsbury's has just started selling the squeeze bottle of cheese that they use on a Philly Cheesesteak.

But I prefer either American or Provolone on my cheesesteak

The closest I have come to amoroso rolls is the fresh baked rolls from the bakery...it is close but not an amoroso

They don't have provolone here? I never really ate it, so I didn't notice. I miss Romano cheese. They finally started stocking blocks of it in Tesco, but for years I had to stick with parmesan here. I still haven't bought the romano b/c it's just so expensive... but one of these days. :P

DW tried it, she used the sub rolls from Morrison's which were fine. I think she used dairylea cheese slices and melted that on. The problem was the meat because even the "minute steaks" we have were too thick, she asked at butchers where they had meat slicing machines but they can't use those because they are for the cooked meats. Having said that though the ones that have them for slicing bacon should be able to. One butcher said he could slice the beef really thin with the knife and it still wasn't thin enough but she didn't have the heart to turn it down when he went to the trouble so she bought it and then pounded it out with the rolling pin....it still wasn't as thin as she wanted but it was good.

I never seen Provolone at Waitrose or Sainsbury's, but maybe it depends on your area.

I have found it at small Italian delis, but it is pricey.
