bungle Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 I haven't eaten a Subway since Saints played friendlies away at Motherwell and Kilmarnock. Having got home from the football at 3am, at 6.30 this morning I wasn't particularly hungry, but then by the time I got to work at 8 I was. I found a Subway voucher offering me a breakfast sub for 99p. So I decided to use it (there's a recession on, you know?). The "sub" was absolutely crap. Very upsetting. Could barely tell there was sausage & egg in there. Is there anyone who regularly eats this guff (stevegrant!) and if so can they please explain why in no more than 80 words.

Scudamore Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 The smell that wafts out of Subway restaurants is unlike any other food place...for this reason i know there's something not quite right about the whole place...

dubai_phil Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 Eat Subways a lot when travelling. Have always thought the ones in the UK seem sad and tired and smelly, as did the staff. Standard white bread, extra Mayo on first, then Tuna, No I DON'T WANT EFFING CHEESE, tomatoes and a few I SAID A FEW FFS Jalapenos. Top off with some salt and black pepper (not their mixed up rubbish and certainly none of those sauces). Delicious. Anything with their Ham or Bacon or their toppings tastes pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Will Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 There's 1 in West Quay, up near Harry Ramsden's.....go try it sometime. It's kinda like Subway, except all the subs are toasted. Big in America. And they just taste better. My recommendation is the honey and mustard chicken sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigersaint Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 Only been in a Subway twice in two different locations but my experience of each of them was the same. Some dis-interested teenager behind the counter who seemed annoyed that a customer was interrupting his conversation, and carried on with while not listening to what I actually wanted in my sub, slopped all the ingredients in the roll unevenly, and killed it off when the end of the sauce bottle squirted too fast to make it horrrible and soggy, with a wrapping screwed around too loose to even hold the filling in. All this followed by a grunt for the money by another hapless teenager who couldn't give a **** without even being able to say Please or Thank you.:mad: Being in a work lunchtime didn't have time to complain on either occasion but I don't think I'll ever bother trying a third one.

Colinjb Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 Used to have Subway all the time at uni, there was one built into the student union and living in a catered hall whose kitchen shut on a the weekend left it as the best option. Always quite enjoyed it! Had one a week ago at the Trafford Centre though and it was bloody awful!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 I suppose the concept of Subways, and other sandwich makers is fine. But in practice it seems that the best sandwiches are those made at home before you leave for work. These people pander to your uncomplaining apathy. Don't buy their product.

dubai_phil Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 I think it's all about the right place at the right time for the right food. Example - I would NEVER go to Subway for a Breakfast. Simply because a McDonalds Bacon & Egg McMuffin is so much better. Now I eat those in UK or for example when I was on hols in Hong Kong - NOT because they are any good but because I cannot get them HERE So, you want a BREAKFAST - then WTF you doing going to Subway - that's a LUNCH thing, you're just being a media ***** thinking you will get a nice breakfast - it's crap you won't. You want a brekkie then find a Greasy Spoon or at the worst a Little Chef, failing that B & E McM It's really funny - we get loads of "mates/TSW guys" etc coming down here - we take them to a Curry House - we say - You HAVE to eat Chicken Handi & Chicken Tikka - they order a Meat Dupiaza then complain it tastes like poo. We take them to a place that does the best breakfast on the planet - they order Fish & Chips - it tastes like poo. We take them to the best Pub Fish & Chips place on the planet - they order a Rib Eye - it was overcooked and tastes like poo..... FFS peeps Food has it's place in the day and the timeline. A subway sarnie for lunch can be perfect. A donner kebab with extra chilli sauce for Breakfast when you're sober? Subway for Breakfast - WTF were you thinking? No wonder it was pants.

RedAndWhite91 Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 If you're going to have breakfast go to a Wetherspoon's and have the large breakfast. £3.89 for the absolute works. It's not shít grub either, proper good food. I usually have one before a home game on a Saturday. Subway is good when you stroll in there after a 'few' drinks during a night out in Winchester and matey knows exactly what you're having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may as well chuck it down the toilet and cut out the middle man (who quipped that originally?). As Deppo said, you eat it and instantly feel empty and dead inside. You know you have been co-opted into environmentally destructive frippery. I would class eating at these establishments as being slightly worse than shopping at Tesco.

saintrich Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 Went into subway last year a couple of days before xmas at about 2am - was ****ed. For some reason they'd run out of bread and only had one 12" loaf left and there loads of people in the queue behind me. Girl behind asked if If I could go for a 6" sub, so she could have one too... I just looked at her and then looked at the 'sandwich artist' and said yeah I'll have a 12" meatball sub please. She was shocked and everyone in the queue was really ****ed off I'd got the last sub - was quite smug walking out tbh, even if most of you think they're crap.

hamster Posted 13 November, 2009 Share Posted 13 November, 2009 I just this minute finished my dinner that has been sat in the microwave since midday last Sunday. I wasn't that hungry and it was left out for me to eat 'later'. Bless you mrs h, I do love you so much. I had a sandwich for dinner after mrs h had gone to bed as she was very tired after a heavy night taking care of mr h's needs. She'd just got back from a few days break (from me) and had had a long day. It was put in the fridge for 'later', wouldn't want to waste food would you. Last night was a quick 'smash and grab' as I was rushing to the football and I ate 2 slices of honey roast ham wrapped around a dollop of coleslaw. Earlier in the day I had been so busy at work that my lunch consisted of a Kingsize Mars Bar and a Kingsize Snickers Bar (a marathon eating experince). After footie I had a tin of ASDA's chunky chicken soup. What I want to know is? Is a Chicken Sunday Roast the best meal ever? Nothing compares imho.

F*** me, if I had the power to remove every MacDonalds from the surface of the Earth, I'd do it immediately for the good of humanity. :smt082 Sorry Dubai Phil, but really..! Lol - didn't say it was QUALITY food, merely that the ability to have a Bacon & Egg McMuffin for breakfast is the key - they don't serve Pork down here you see :cool:. Perfect example? Fly overnite back to Blighty. Airplane breakfasts from here are AWFUL. Lufthansa actually had the nerve to serve a PEA Omlette. When I asked the Fraulein who's PEE it was she didn't understand... Anyway land at 6:30 collect rental car by 7:30, collect Bacon & Egg McMuffin on the A30 by 8:00 and can almost manage the drive down home! Another great example - we have Shwarmas (sic) they are sliced meat cooked the same method as a Donner Kebab. They are delicious and ALMOST made of real meat and cost about 50p. Yet I get visitors, take them to the best one in town and they stand there for half an hour demanding a Donner with extra Curry Sauce, it takes the shop staff an age to catch a dog, mince it and grill it, and yet the visitors then spend the taxi ride home telling me how sh*t their kebab was.. :mad: As for Mc D's in the past 5 years I've probably had two of their normal burgers. In Bangkok they serve a Samurai Pork Burger. Now it is still poo, but we always have one - why - because it's Pork! Anyway, once you've discovered Hardee's Spicy Chicken Santa Fe, you'll never eat another burger! But anyway, here's you all moaning about food and hopping in to M&S on the way home for a shrink wrapped pile of processed chemicals to Nuke for dinner :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
