bageta
I agree with Zenny's explanation, but this is just a Czech 'bageta' - a baguette filled with various savoury things.
Compare the picture of a 'sub sandwich' and 'bageta' on the links below.

Just noticed that the US link shows a toasted sub sandwich, but it doesn\'t have to be toasted. see:

To be really accurate it\'s \'plněná bageta\'

pon[orkový] sandvič
Declined
pon[orkový] sandvič = sub[marine] sandwich
is the literal translation. I'm not sure what is being used in Czech.
Chances are the name derives from the shape of the sandwich made on long piece of white bread of oval cross section, sliced haf way through horizontaly, lenghwise and sfuffed with various meats or types of salami, garnish, etc., depneding on the particualr "type" of a sub.

Here I thought \'bageta\' was what we know here in the U.S. as French bread, or \'veka\' in Czech years ago. Why not at least \'plněná bageta\'? Oh well ... :-) What is the difference between a piece of the French (or Italian) bread and a sub?

RE: Nick Miller - \"... us Brits also say \'filled baguette\' [That\'s because you have that love-hate relationship with the French ... we\'re only now learning to dislike them ...] or \'rolls\' [we call the baguette \'French roll\' when the French bread is baked or cut to the length of the submarine sandwich]
