The spuccadella is an Italian-American bread roll that has a long, pointed shape. [1] [2] It is used in the preparation of the spuckie sandwich, which is what the Italian sandwich is referred to in some areas of Boston, Massachusetts. [1] [2] [3] The spuckie is still available in some sandwich shops in the Boston area.

New England cuisine is an American cuisine which originated in the New England region of the United States, and traces its roots to traditional English cuisine and Native American cuisine of the Abenaki, Narragansett, Niantic, Wabanaki, Wampanoag, and other native peoples.
