Ya'll don't know what you're missing.  

If either of you happen to live near a Popeyes(I doubt it), they have some decent(but not great) Po' boy sandwiches(also, some Catfish places have them).

Neither of those places exist in Australia.

I expected as much.

Like I said, there are countless ways to make a Po' boy sandwich.

This should give you a better idea.

And that's the sole reason why the USA is the fattest country on earth.

( Hhmmmm... though I wonder why Australia is second? Maybe it's all the beer and BBQ's?  )

It's not the sole reason... Northerners don't eat po'boys. Nah, we have other ways of getting fat.

Maccas? Super Size servings where ever you go?

Probably a combination of Mickey D's and Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts.

Here I think it's Beer, beer... beEr, BEEr, BeeR and BeER...

I think that's it... oh, and did I mention BBQ's? Though, they don't happen very often in winter, you see, that's when we're all hibernating.

Actually, they started making them in New Orleans, and it spread to just outside the Louisiana borders. I don't think it's common anywhere else(I could be wrong though). Besides, most people tend to work off any weight they'd gain from it.

"The generally excepted history is that the Po' Boy sandwich was invented by two brothers, Clovis and Benjamin Martin, in 1929 at their restaurant in the French Market. It is said, true or not, that this sandwich extravaganza began during a local transit worker's strike. The two brothers took pity on those "poor boys" and began offering sandwiches made from leftovers to any workers who came to their restaurant's back door at the end of the day. For five cents, a striker could buy a sandwich filled with gravy and trimmings (end pieces from beef roasts) or gravy and sliced potatoes.

Soon the sandwich, which quickly became known as the po' boy, was being filled with seafood, most notably fried oysters and fried shrimp. In those distant days, shellfish was abundant and cheap. The affluent joined the crowd because, at lunch or snack time, a po' boy filled with oysters was quicker to consume and easier to digest than one filled with roast beef. "

P.S. It's not that big of a sandwich, at Popeyes, I normally get two(one shrimp, and one chicken).
