6 Foot Party Sandwich

6 foot bread (Italian) whole   
4 pounds thin slice cold cuts (turkey, salami, pastrami, bologna) 
2 pounds assorted sliced cheese
1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 quart jar mayonnaise
several onions very thin sliced
6 large tomatoes thin sliced
1 quart jar of kosher dills thin sliced
salt, pepper
mustard
 
Order a large bread from your deli or bakery . In my area the bread
costs about $20 plus a refundable fee for the board it comes on.
Pick up the bread on the day you plan to serve this.

Lay the bread with board on a long table. Slice bread in half with
a serrated knife.  Spread one half of bread with mayonnaise and
the other half with mustard. Layer on the meats and cheeses.  Layer
the onions, tomatoes, lettuce and pickles. Salt and pepper to taste.
Add anything else you want to (sliced or hot peppers etc).

Carefully place on top half of bread to cover.  It takes two people
to do this.  Use long wooden bamboo skewers or very long toothpicks
to secure sections of the sandwich together.  One can cut a good
30 pieces - more if cut a bit smaller.

It is best to prepare the sandwich just before serving time.

Serve with potato salad, macaroni salad and other party salads.
