after getting my french bread home & cutting it open i noticed that it was still slightly warm inside from the grocery store's oven i assume (the store had just opened). anyway i opened it up like they do at quizno's (or subway, etc obviously) & then put in the following:
lots of oil/vinegar on both sides (2/3 olive oil, 1/3 balsamic shaken, not stirred)
120g mortadella
120g prosciutto
120g genoa salami
120g capicolli
provolone cheese
pepperoncini peppers with stems cut off
salt & pepper
put it under the broiler for 5mins, turned it so it cooked evenly for ~3mins more & it was ready. i took it out, closed it up & mashed it down with a frying pan & some weights for ~10mins to squeeze all the flavours together. dang i wish i had remembered to put on some shredded lettuce before closing it up, but it was still very tasty. next time i want to try it with a treccia, which (at MY bakery anyway) is a braided loaf roughly the same size as a french loaf & has oregano sprinkled on top. i asked a guy at work if he thought that would work & he said no because it would probably fall apart due to the braiding. i think if i cut it into only 4 pieces it would stay together ok.
