SUBWAY SANDWICH what is on it?

band-aids, prophylactics, bits of saran wrap and residue of asspicking.

meatballs and my own tears

These sound less delicious than mine.

IM GONNA PUKE

The meatballs are tasty!

Tears add salt, but moisten bread.

Don't let the meatballs get cold, they'll taste like the cardboard they're made of.

abbott u my girl

as long as u add cheese to those tears

PROVOLONE

yeah subway has some fucked up cheese choices

i dont think they do swiss do they?

whole wheat, chicken, maybe provolone, all veggies except green peppers, 'spicy mustard', vinegar, maybe oil, nothing you shake out of a container

liver and semen.

my local franchise is owned by steve jones.

Bleck.

Anyway, I do not understand the lack of swiss cheese. A popular sandwich cheese, you would think. I complain about this often, but so far have been unable to obtain satisfaction. Not sure it matters, though, cuz the deliciousness of the Subway Sandwich is a product of vegetables (lots) and bread (in quotation marks). Meat is supposed to be the organizing principle, but has suprisingly little to do with how the it actually tastes.

man, i could go for liverwurst on an onion roll right now.

subway has swiss cheese. their default cheese is 'american' though which is actually white. and bland. but delicious for some reason

'chicken' (god willing), bacon, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, oregano

steak and cheese on hearty italian bread with lettuce, pickles, onions, jalapenos and south west sauce.

Their bread kind of makes my stomach die if I eat it more than...once. In a while.

I tried a Subway sand a few weeks ago and Jesus Mary and The Guy with the Beard, it was barely food. A disgusting mistake.

If it has swiss cheese, your Subway is better than mine. And, yes, the "bread" is very strange. I don't know why the Subway Sandwich is so delicious. I used to think onions were the secret, but then I ordered it without, and it was still good. Not as good, but close enough to count.

You went to the wrong one, Laurel.

their adverts need to stop being on tv

seriously, liverwurst.

It takes me like 4 hours to eat one of these.

it is the oil and salt that makes them good.

anyway subways out here (california/bay area) have a full assortment of suspect rubber cheeses: swiss, provalone, american, cheddar.

My gf tells me of a Subway that went out of business, and the owner ran away but did not tell his employees. So they just kept showing up, trying to forge sandwiches from their ever dwindling supply of non food non ingredients, waiting for supplies that would never arrive. They'd be like, "No, we don't have turkey, but we do have bacon, and maybe some olives. It would probably be good with Ranch sauce. I think the Ranch sauce is still okay." Clinging to the sinking ship.

Subways in the UK only have "cheese" - no choices of varieties therein. When dragged into an American Subway against my will, I was surprised to see an actual choice of processed cheese. Also, WHO THE HELL BUYS PIZZA IN SUBWAY (again, not a choice we get in the UK, but even if we did, it wouldn't ever be a choice I made).

Anyway, all I ever buy in Subway is meatballs with generic cheese and every bit of available salad to get my money's worth. And chilli sauce to drown the taste. And only on a Tuesday when it is the Sub of the Day and therefore cheaper. I have yet to discern a difference between each type of bread, though I tend to go for whatever the plainest-looking one is.

i hope to hell they were pocketing the money.

xpost.

It is my understanding that they used the money to buy bootleg meat.

then that is sad.

although the phrase "bootleg meat" does not seem out of step at all on a thread about subway.

In spite of previous deliciousness, I now feel rather sick.

Subways in the UK only have "cheese"

This utterly confounds me. in a sandwich shop in a country where the most popular sandwich filling is offically CHEESE (ref: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0DQA/is_2002_May_23/ai_86826753), you would imagine that there would be a selection of cheeses!!

What's their reasoning? Are cheeses not profitable? Are they making a political stand against cheese sandwiches?

that's a brilliant story contenderizer. did they all play the violin as they slowly died from salmonella?

you guys subway is fucking disgusting. if anyone boycott subway so that fucktard jared fogel doesn't get any more $.

I do not understand reasoning, I guess that the stuff comes from some central processing plant of Generic Subway Stuff, and that limiting your import of Generic Subway Cheese Product allows for cheapness + profit. I suppose I could look into it further, but I don't really care that much.

oh god dont get a british person started on cheese

at some point tomorrow i'll see if i can find the pictures -- which i'm sure i posted somewhere here before -- of the FUCKING ENORMOUS subway sandwhich made by the deeply pissed off dude who was about to quit his job, in a FUCK YOU, BOSSES, I'M GIVING THIS LITTLE DUDE ALL THE MEAT AND SALAD AND STUFF way.

yeh. smashing the system WITH A SANDWICH. way to go, pissed off dude.

i'm not some fussy cheese ponce! I just want to eat a cheese sandwich. It's like if pizza hut didn't offer pepperoni as a topping, i find it that bizarre.

their world-wide-pumped-onto-the-streets-smell makes me sick.
No real food could smell like that.

I don't think anyone who cares about cheese goes to Subway for their lunch.

like i said

i don't go to subway for my lunch

ergo

i am a person

who Cares About Cheese

I always get mine with no cheese, no lettuce, no jalepenos, no mayo, no oil.

their world-wide-pumped-onto-the-streets-smell makes me sick.

Oh my god, they lure you in by emitting FALSE SCENTS?

My husband says Hollister's smell "is as loud as the music coming out of there." A store you can smell 30 yards away! This world is a MYSTERY.

--They always put on too much lettuce
--The jalepenos get spread around too much and are always like a weird surprise
--cheese, mayo and oil are bad for you

regards, SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT CHEESE

I care a great deal about cheese. More than is responsible, even, given my income. Caldwell Crik Chevrette. But I still like Subway. Go figure.

Will ye be having a processed cheese now lads?

will ye have a cheese

(I can't eat cheese and I like subway)

Can ye not SEE the little cloud up there?

I will have a cheese, (dialect).

will ye have a 8 strange tasting meatballs melting through papery bread and all over your hands

My husband says Hollister's smell "is as loud as the music coming out of there." A store you can smell 30 yards away! This world is a MYSTERY.

everything I ate today was too delicious for me to contemplate this anymore

as promised:

http://sparky.thehold.net/pix/080424sandwich.jpg

the guy was fucked off that he'd not been invited to the staff christmas party. which i can understand. so he was taking out his frustration by jamming as many of subway's "valuable" ingredients as possible into individual sandwiches.

it was fucking lovely.

OMG wow.

i eat way too much subway because it is one of like, 3 choices for lunch by my work. the dude there thinks it's funny that i am in there a lot. i have really stuck to eating salads mostly, bc i do not get their bread, but sometimes... mmmsandwich. i just really like sandwiches. tip for subway: addition of banana peppers will always perk up a lackluster subway sandwich.

I too am stuck with Subway almost everytime I want to eat out - the ladies there are always super friendly (we've all worked around here for 5+ years) and talk to me a lot, but never ever remember that I want EXTRA pickles! :(

Italian Herbs and Cheese bread
Turkey
Lettuce
Tomato
Cucumber
Green pepper
Extra extra pickles
Banana peppers
Sprinkle of olives
Sweet Onion sauce

Uh oh I may have to go to Subway for lunch now..

defend the indefensible: people who defend subway.

BACON AND CHEESE

Anyway, here is a picture of delicious Subway Sandwich:

J.Go is right about BACON AND CHEESE though. A perfect sandwich often ruined by eggs.

omg all that mayo LSKDJ HSDLKH

I did go buy a sub.. and on my way back into the office's parking lot, there was an ICE CREAM truck! I got a banana split.

oh shit.

mortadella
capicola
prosciutto
provolone
salami
lettuce
tomato
onion
pepperoncinis
oil
vingear
oregano

tacos obv

I had to. I haven't seen an ice cream truck in my office parking lot ever!

What should I put on the subway sandwich for lunch? Tell me sandwiches.

Sweet Onion sauce is very nice, if you haven't tried it. I like it on turkey.

i have always been afraid to try it!

I have never tried any sauces, except for mustard/mayo/oil/vinegar, which all taste pretty much exactly like you'd expect. What does sweet onion sauce go well with?

spicy mustard is otm.

^^^ username

Geez, I wouldn't know how to explain it! Sort of like an Italian/"traditional" sub dressing but sweet and with a taste of onion. I fail! They have a "Sweet Onion Chicken" here, I've had it on that, on turkey and on veggie and liked it every way. Sorry that I lack to foodie vocabulary to properly describe it.

veggie sub = sub-weight sandwich : (

Whenever I say "Sweet-onion teryaki" I feel like it's my pet-name for the counter lady.

Oh yes, it's the Sweet Onion Teriyaki, not just S.O. My bad! It does sound rather.. intimate.

It sounds too cute. I could never use branded terminology to order food. I refuse, for instance, to call a large cup of coffee anything other than a large cup of coffee. Fucking "venti" bullshit mumble mumble. Anyway, and probably for similar reasons, I dislike sandwiches that come as a package deal. I prefer to specify each of the sandwich ingredients seperately (control freak).

you have to get the right store for a decent sammy. All subway cheese = processed plastic that tastes the same. I skip it entirely its a "waist" of calories. Haven't had a subway in over a year but my fav is:

whole wheat bread
tuna
yellow mustard
pickles pepperocini
onions
vinegar (no oil)
salt & pepper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
alternately
meatball on italan herb & cheez bread with parmesean.

jeebus, may have to break down and get one...willpower is weakening.

"Whenever I say "Sweet-onion teryaki" I feel like it's my pet-name for the counter lady."

roffle

ok for waste of calories that tuna is disgusting and really, really bad for you.

you guys, i am so hungry. but i will not go to subway today. because yesterday was subway salad day. and tomorrow may be, too.

yeah I figure I can make myself a better tuna sandwich at home for $1 than pay $6 or whatever at subway!

i am not a fan of mayo so attempting to eat that would be on par with waterboarding or something.

man I wish I lived in a world where I wasn't a mayo junkie, but I live for it and mustard when I have an assortedcold cut combo* sub

*I tried to order an assorted sub at a subway in NYC a few years back and was met with a blank stare. Man, us Crazy Canadians!

You’re both right, it is disgusting tuna slop and really bad for me/you but I get a hankering for a really sloppy ick subway tuna sammy once in a while. It's completely contrary to my favorite tuna of all, which is: solid white albacore then flaked, minced red onions and just BARELY enough mayo to hold it together. Must be a hormonal thing...
oh and cost too, yep a can of good tuna is a buck and subway charges 5x that for not even the equivalent of a can of tuna - mostly slop. Guilty as charged, but guilty pleasure

the guy was fucked off that he'd not been invited to the staff christmas party. which i can understand. so he was taking out his frustration by jamming as many of subway's "valuable" ingredients as possible into individual sandwiches.

Haha this is like when I worked at Taco Bell, and a women complained she did not get enough cheese on her side of nachos, so I basically put three chips in a box & filled it with nacho cheese.

Or when, on slow days at Kinko's, I'd give everyone everything for free and tell them to 'keep it under the table.' Thank god they always did & never came back demanding more free copies/projects.

Don't understand mayo nonfandom. Resist it's width-widening allure if you must, but French people wouldn't have invented it if it were not capable of making things more delicious.

solid white albacore - now yr talkin!
xpost

Mayo LOOKS really revolting, is why I hate it.

i have a mayo aversion bc when i was a kid my mom would buy the powdered hidden valley ranch dressing that you have to mix in the shaker w/ milk and mayo and she'd always make me make it. it was inevitable that you would get mayo on your hands either trying to get it out of the jar or into the shaker. it is the foulest smelling shit to have on your hands, and it grossed me out hardcore. also if not shaken well enough, you end up w/ weird mayo powder clumps. grosssss.

i can handle it in v. limited quantities as lubricant on a sandwich, but i prefer spicy mustard.

honey wheat bread, chicken breast, honey mustard, lettuce, tomato, salt, pepper, lots of sweet yellow peppers

Abbott: there goes your social life! /clueless

processed mayo is nasty, tastes distinctly of corn syrup, soybean oil and emulsifiers, and real mayo is rare and not worth the work.

also, Belgian people invented mayo

egg snobs

good think I know now mayo is nasty, and will no longer be tricked into liking it.

you misspelled 'tasty' there

I was at an outdoor event recently that had a number of hot dog stands with "condiment stations" consisting of big baskets full of ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, maybe relish. Predictably the scavengers got in and grabbed all the mayonnaise, leaving an empty basket next to the full basket of ketchup.

You can't deny that mayonnaise has a value that exceeds that of the other condiments. People are more likely to steal it and take it home.

Also when I worked at McDonalds we had to be very very careful about leaving any McChicken sauce packets lying around or they were GONE.

mayo thieves!

I read some interview with Steve Albini where he spent the bulk of it talking about mayonaisse, how it was terrible, and how to make your own that is good.

WENDY'S does not offer mayonnaise to stay OR to go. Not sure they even put it on any of their sandwiches. I always have to walk into the McDonald's next door and offer to pay for a couple of packets. Bitchaz/

ppl steal mayo packets bc they do not want to have to commit to buying a jar bc it is gross.

mayo is just a vinagrette guys... but remy's right. its like ketchup, once youve had the homemade stuff its hard to go back to the processed stuff.

mayo is gross.

it's not like a vinaigrette I don't think, maybe a caesar cuz of the eggs.

today i had a subway club on "wheat" w/ pepper jack, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, no dressing.

woah you have a pepper jack option!?

yeah seriously! what magical land do you reside in?

los angeles!

pepper jack cheese is such a fucking scam.

i usu just get provolone but i was feeling wacky today

pepper jack is awesome!

ahhh, the city of lebowski.. of course they would have jack

hey remember the archdeluxe?

dude i remember the MCDLT

royale with cheese?

i had pepper jack on a subway last week. it tasted neither of pepper or jack.

anyone remember hardees first monsterburger? it was like subshaped

great stuff

Everybody is so particular. I make mayonnaise, and it's better than Hellmans/Best Foods, but it doesn't make me disdain the store-bought stuff. Anyway, we have pepper jack, too! It is so not a scam. It is a cheese. Also, it turns out we DO have swiss cheese now. I gave up asking a while back, so I didn't realize that my options had widened.

i imagine subway's pepper jack is uh not quite normal pepper jack, which rocks.

blimpie >>>>> subway

hellmans is mayonnaise contenderizer

subway still doesnt do swiss where im from though sometimes i think they pretend they do

pepperjack over here too. if i get cheese i usually get provolone tho

Today, though, I didn't go to Subway. I went to the Korean subway & teriyaki joint in the parking garage. Had a BLT. Was deliciouser by far than Subway. What's weird is that this place is just tucked away in the corner of the parking garage. Like underground. No windows. Just a large wallboard cubicle protruding from the concrete parking structure. They're almost insanely nice. Like I try to stay a few feet back when ordering so they won't hug me.

"Subway and teriyaki"? Sandwich and teriyaki. Brain is rot.

Clearly rotted through deprivation of the essential amino acids found only in store-bought mayonnaise.

I worked for a year in a subway during high school. I know way too much about the food there. I still cut my sandwiches the subway way.

Although subway didn't have all those fancy cheeses and breads in the olden days.

When you say you still cut sandwiches the Subway way, does that mean you do what they used to do (cutting that wedge out of the top)? I basically lost interest in Subway after they stopped cutting the wedge out of the top.

yeah if i have a rounded bread i cut the wedge out and I am awesome at cutting sandwiches in half no matter how much stuff is in it. Plus I still put vegetables in the Subway order your are supposed to put them in.

I do not know how someone cld not know Subway had a particular cheese – I mean, they're right there in front of you.

the subway cheese is totally bland. I used to put like 8 pieces on when I made sandwiches for myself.

The wedge was so amazing. I fell in love with Subway as an adolescent in the early 90s because of the Fordist genius of wedge-cutting (leads to higher topping retention, normalizes topping dispersal across tastebuds, results in more enjoyable endpieces + also the sandwiches travel better when wedge-cut).

But now none of Subway's choices seem worth choosing. I don't vote anymore either.

You don't even vote for HOT PASTRAMI???

http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/blog/2007/09/10/subway-a-method-to-their-cheesy-madness/

Actually I bet Subway's HOT PASTRAMI would kill me less quickly than some of the other smoked brisket-derived foodstuffs I've been eating lately.

Also: there was this watershed moment where Subway went from being a little bit cheaper than other fast food —for what you got—to being just a tiny bit more expensive (enough, actually, to put me off). Anyone remember this? I'm trying to pinpoint the moment I noticed it. Probably it had something to do with 9/11.

I also love the way vegetarians defend Subway.

It's $5 footlongs all the time now (of certain varieties) FWIW. One of which would take me ~2 days to eat.

took me 4 minutes this afternoon

btw the $5 footlong thing is bs marketing tactic, mine was more like 7 bucks

Something about the bread's texture makes me able to eat only five bites in one sitting. Tho it's nice to have a sandwich in my purse all day to nibble on the leftovers every few hours.

Sub-prime

xpost

i ordered a footlong today and thought about taking half of it home with me, but i get a little ocd about leftovers not being fresh enough (i.e. being in the "danger zone" for too long, and then going bad a little more slowly once refrigerated).

they took away some of options for five dollars foot long! no more turkey? why?

Instead of Soul Train they ought to go "SUUUUUUUUUUUB WAAAAAAAAAAAy"

I can't get sandwiches at the Subway by my work too often because one of the usual employees there doesn't seem to appreciate the layered nuances of a sandwich and instead just makes a salad pile of ingredients on top of the bread, cuts it lying flat and open and then tightly wraps the whole thing up, ensuring that when opened it will spill everywhere.

banana peppers otm btw

italian bread
turkey
lettuce
tomato
pickle
mustard
oil and vinegar
salt and pepper

subway cheese is revolting, also they never have real cheddar only shredded where i'm at

The smell of Subway bread cooking makes me want to retch.

sorry for linking to reddit, but this thread where subway employees share their "worst sandwich order" horror stories has been haunting my dreams.

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1a5rkq/subway_employees_of_reddit_whats_the_most/

meatballs and tuna salad! extra extra mayo! ALL THE SAUCES.

good reminder about british corn

Of course they praise it, so that their product gets sold.
