AmE "hero sandwich"
Reading something elsenet, I came across a reference to someone having "a hero sandwich" for their packed lunch.
What the heck is it?

Isn't Google wonderful! A little obvious, I grant you.
I had a quick look at a couple of sites to make sure there weren't any missing diacritics. With no knowledge of Latvian I'm guessing something like /ljEls 'paldjEs/ for the pronunciation.

Oh, and in the UK the only thing you take out are people on a date, and things from boxes!

(thanking me in Latvian)
Yeah, I think that's it.
[nq:1]I think I'd transcribe it as ('pal.diEs). Is that a falling diphthong in the second syllable?[/nq]
It's pretty close to what one hears in the English "dear". Strangely enough, although Latvian usually has the stress on the first syllable, that particular word "paldies" is usually stressed slightly on the second syllable.
