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.

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.

anyway subways out here (california/bay area) have a full assortment of suspect rubber cheeses: swiss, provalone, american, cheddar.
― akm, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 21:47 (seventeen years ago)
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.
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 21:48 (seventeen years ago)
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.

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?

― homosexual II, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 22:27 (seventeen years ago)
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.

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.

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.

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.
― Yerac, Thursday, 21 August 2008 23:25 (seventeen years ago)
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.
― fields of salmon, Thursday, 21 August 2008 23:26 (seventeen years ago)
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.
― Yerac, Thursday, 21 August 2008 23:30 (seventeen years ago)
I do not know how someone cld not know Subway had a particular cheese – I mean, they're right there in front of you.
― Abbott, Thursday, 21 August 2008 23:31 (seventeen years ago)
the subway cheese is totally bland. I used to put like 8 pieces on when I made sandwiches for myself.
― Yerac, Thursday, 21 August 2008 23:34 (seventeen years ago)
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.

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 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.
