I grew up in Pittsburgh (the capital of hoagie country) and in my opinion, the biggest difference is the bread. Hoagies generally come on an Italian bread (Mancini's was the bakery of choice up there) whereas poboys are on the crustier, chewier French loaf such as Leidenheimer. Another big difference is that there are no seafood hoagies. They have awesome fish sandwiches -- best I've ever had -- but they're a totally different beast entirely.

nbd, just a sandwich.

sound like it came on a baguette. so that constitutes the name ham poboy imo.

toppings shouldnt matter. I think you could make a philadelphia cheese steak on a baguette and call that a poboy.

I often use baguettes for my sandwiches and i think that counts as poboy.
Man today I had pork roast, hot sausage, cheddar cheese, olives and peppers on a baguette. I called it a poboy. I may be wrong, but gatdamn that bih was fire!!!
