Quote:
In parts of northern New Jersey, Sloppy Joe refers to a completely different type of sandwich.[3] There are a handful of variations depending on the deli, but it will always include one or more types of deli meat (i.e. turkey, ham, corned beef, roast beef, or sliced cow tongue), coleslaw, and Russian dressing on rye bread.
Sloppy Joes are also referred to as:
* Wimpies in parts of the Northeast USA, especially Northeastern Pennsylvania
* Yip Yips in parts of southwestern Illinois near St. Louis
* Slushburgers in parts of the Upper Midwest, particularly in western North Dakota and Eastern Montana
* Barbecues in other areas of the Upper Midwest, especially eastern North Dakota.
* Hot Tamales in parts of southeastern Wisconsin, particularly in the Sheboygan area despite the fact that tamales are a completely different food item.
* Taverns in parts of northwest Iowa and Minnesota.
