New Orleans Muffuletta Sandwich Picnic Box for 6-8

Enjoy a summer day at the park with this picnic box which includes 2 muffuletta sandwiches (each large enough to feed 3-4), 2 bags of Zapps chips, and a small jute bag. The muffuletta sandwich is uniquely New Orleans from start to finish, and nobody does it better than the originators, Central Grocery! Each muffuletta sandwich is made on a 10-inch round Sicilian sesame loaf that stays crusty despite all its fillings. It’s piled with ham, salami, mortadella, Swiss, Provolone, and a signature briny marinated olive salad made with olives and other tasty pickled veggies.

Central Grocery first opened its doors in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter in 1906 and not much has changed since. Its first owner was Salvatore Lupo, who invented the legendary muffuletta right here. The sandwich was devised as an easier way to serve farmers who would stop by for a Sicilian lunch where meats and cheeses were traditionally eaten separately. Instead, he piled all the components into a loaf of bread, and the rest is history: the original muffuletta, and still the best.
