   Cut the rolls lengthways about ¾ of the way through. Gently open the rolls the rest of the way with your hands, leaving the edge of each roll attached. Spread mayo on the inside of the rolls. Layer in 3 slices each of ham, salami, and capicola and then layer in 3 slices each of provolone and American cheese. Add ½ cup shaved lettuce to each sandwich and top with 2 pickle spears running end to end on each sandwich. Divide pepperoncini, tomatoes, and torn olives between the two sandwiches, seasoning each with the sub seasoned oil. Wrap each sandwich in waxed paper, then parchment or brown paper, securing each with a bit of kitchen twine.
