It is my understanding that "grinder" is New Englandese for a submarine sandwhich that is toasted in the oven. I once ordered an Italian grinder and suddenly they were sticking it under the broiler and I said "I didn't ask for that" and they told a "grinder" was a toasted sub.
I ask because a toasted submarine sandwich is kind of rough on the mouth when you've been tooting the whistle all night. Give me some soft white bread and a solid IPA.
I shall not enter a discussion of milk shake vs. frappe vs. cabinet since such discussion makes my head hurt.
