  2. We enjoyed these. The kids did not like the size of the peppers. They were fine with the sandwiches after we let them pick the peppers out.

  3. We took out the peppers for the kids - got one thumb up from one kid and a still a "no" from the other. Grown-ups liked it just fine. The Hoagy Rolls you used were AMAZING though - very soft and yummy! What brand was that - because I'd love to use those again sometime!!
