| The muffuletta is an open sandwich that was created by Italian blue-collar workers in the United States in the late 1800s. These Italians, working in the New Orleans markets, placed a mixture of broken green and black olives, found at the bottom of olive barrels, on half a loaf of round Italian bread, commonly called a “muff.” Over this mixture, they layered slices of ham, salami, and Provolone cheese. |

| The World's Largest Catsup Bottle stands proudly next to Route 159, just south of downtown Collinsville, Illinois. This unique, 170-foot-tall water tower was built in 1949 by W.E. Caldwell Company for the G.S. Suppiger catsup bottling plant. In 1995, due largely to the efforts of the Catsup Bottle Preservation Group, this piece of local history was saved from demolition and beautifully restored to its original appearance. |
