Fertitta's Muffy
I removed the following from the "Highlights" section as sounding too much like an advertisement:
 * Another version of the muffuletta, called the "Muffy," can only be found in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was created by Sam R. Fertitta at Fertitta's Delicatessen in Shreveport in 1960. The name "Muffy" is a United States registered trademark. The only real similarity between the the muffuletta and the Muffy is the use of muffuletta bread. The Muffy is made with mustard instead of olive oil, various American-style cold-cut meats, a special house blend of cheeses, is heated, and topped with the Fertitta family's olive salad. The Fertitta family's olive salad is also very different from that which is found on the muffuletta. It is a finely chopped blend of several ingredients, which are a closely guarded secret recipe belonging to the family.

If anyone believes this variant is notable enough to include in the article, feel free to rework it to make it more encyclopedic. --Mwalimu59 13:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

the olive salad picture links to the manufacturers website.
I just wanted to see a bigger image. Not a link to the website. Isn't that supposed to go in the link/ reference section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.6.77 (talk) 01:26, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

While I understand a variety of correct spellings can to attributed to dialects and translation, I use the correct spelling of Muffaletta. 70.196.129.131 (talk) 11:02, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

"Central Grocery" Cleansing
The Time Magazine article which was the ostensible source documenting the sandwiches origin at the Central Grocery, noted that it was famously served there, but doesn't mention its origins. The Central Grocery article itself cites a family written cookbook and a New Orleans bread company website (from a company that probably sells to Central), as its sources. Ergo, there is no Reliable Source for any assertion that it was invented by the Lupos. So the entire source section was eliminated as blatant promotion. All other promotional content was also removed. Tapered (talk) 00:25, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

muffaletta
First two sources on the page spell it "muffaletta", yet you don't even list this as a proper spelling, let alone recognize it as the proper spelling? -Jatopian (talk) 23:16, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Connection to mofletta?
I always thought the name is related to Jewish-Moroccan Mofletta. 160.39.60.27 (talk) 02:33, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Pronunciation Guide?
Not sure how to add one of these at the beginning, but there really should be a phonetic pronunciation guide since "muffuletta" is one of those NOLA words that isn't quite pronounced as written. It's "muff-a-LA-da." Mpaniello (talk) 23:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
