I tend not to bother with them anymore, but I still like meatball. Problem being is that they force you to decide and decide and decide. We aren't from New York, we really don't know what we want.
Gah. I hate people who dither in Subway... although it's usually stupid, thick women. How hard is it to decide what you want? That's what makes it so nice - you get ONLY WHAT YOU ASK FOR. It's not like Burger King where as soon as you receive your Whopper you have to take it apart and throw away the sickening onions and discoloured bits of lettuce.
Granted, the whole concept works a lot better with the North American concept of customer service (open questions, ie: what bread? how much cheese would you like? what toppings and sauce?) as opposed to the British way (closed questions: double cheese 20p extra? Onions lettuce tomato cucumber and I have already started putting these on before you could answer? I am from Eastern Europe where the cost of this one sandwich is almost a week's salary) so you have to pick which branches you go to to ensure your sandwich isn't ruined. The one at the bottom of St Mary Street in Cardiff, for example, has this obnoxious staffgirl from Soviet Russia who gets on my tits to no end.
I agree some of the ingredients look a bit dodgy - the roast beef sometimes has that rainbow sheen you see from spilled fuel on the road, the tomatoes could often do with a few more days of ripening, and I am reluctant to order anything that needs to be heated up (because it's done in the MICROWAVE, for fucking fuck's sake.) Also, the toasting option. WHY? The bread is often bad enough as it is without it being further nuked, and surely the Italian Herbs & Cheese bread toasted to a crisp would be like eating actual broken glass.
Sandwich recommendations:
BMT/Subway Club on Honey Oat with tomato, pickle, olive, jalapeno, mayo and honey mustard.
Meatball on Wheat with tomato, olive, jalapeno and Chipotle Southwest.
Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken on Honey Oat with olive, peppers and sweet onion sauce (NB: only get this as a six inch - you won't be able to stomach a footlong)
Wendy's>>>>>>>>Subway>KFC>Bugger King>etc (McDonald's isn't actually food, and so doesn't count)
Unless you're in Canada, in which case Harvey's is in second place behind Wendy's.
