Whats your sub?

[Ralph]

Now that the Subway Invasion is well underway with world domination of your sandwiches I just wanted to ask what you choose?

When I first went in I was daunted by the choice - there's at least 6 types of bread for starters!

I chose Honey Oat and simply as I can't be arsed haven't changed since. My favourite Sub has to be the BMT, though as a canny Scot, I'm now aware that the best deals are Sub of the Day so I've been trying these out. Italian BMT's my favourite. Since a local branch opened just last month it's left the poor old Boots meal deal cast aside and abandoned.

So what do you reckon?..are you a Sub virgin or all you all subbed out?

I was a bit put off by them, on the occassion that they forgot to microwave my chicken pieces for my hot chicken sandwich. The guy put them in the microwave, then took them out. No buttons were pressed.

Here in Victoria, there are many places to get Sub-style sandwiches, best of which is (Sir Reginald) Styles on (Bill) Strutton Ground. They cost from 1-2 and they have a huge selection. Yum!

It's Cheese and Meatball Sub all the way. I've loved them since my first one when we were at the 2003 Invasion in Barking.

[Jeff]

My classic favorites are the Seafood and Crab, or the Pizza/Meatball sub (they are pretty much the same thing but the just use the sauce on the pizza sub and leave off the meatballs.) I like trying the flavors when they come out sometimes to.

EAT FRESH!

well that's exactly why I don't go any where near these sandwich places as I simply don't trust them..

[Dave Tudor]

I've never been in Subway, and don't particularly intend to. I just have a problem with chain sandwich shops - in fact, for every kind of shop now, from book shops to coffee shops, from bakers to hairdressers, there seems to be a big, national chain, visible on every high street. The day will come when there will be no independent retailers in our town centres...

Sorry, rant over, but that's how I feel.

And besides, why are they called 'sub' rolls, anyway?

Someone thought they were shaped like submarines, thus Submarine Sandwich, or 'Sub' for short.

They're also referred to as 'Hoagies' and 'Poor Boys' in different regions.

EDIT- Surprise, surprise. Wiki has its own webpage for subs.

I wondered if that was the reason, but thought it was just too daft to be true! Thanks, Jeff.

It's great to once again be able show my propensity for Totally Useless Information.

There is now a 'Subway' situated about 30 seconds walk from my flat, So it's kind of too easy not to use. Though i only go about once a week.
I do like the fact that you can have every type of salad on your sub if you want, without paying any extra.
Anyway, i tend to have a 6" Tuna/Light Mayonaisse, with double cheese, Lettuce, Peppers, Cucumber, & Sweetcorn, on a Honey Oat. It's a healthy choice, & it's really tasty, for only 2.50.

2.99 here but only 1.99 on a Monday when it's sub of the day

Everyone in the one local to my office is Polish I believe - at first communication was a bit hit or miss but sorted now!

[Lissa]

You know Saville is going to get excited by questions about subs.

I went in a Subway once but there was dead stuff in every sandwich so I didn't stay long.

[Ralph]

I like a bit of dead animal in my sub now and again

[Perry Vale]

What Dave said.

It beats trying to eat a live one.

[Mike Saville]

Subway's are OK, but Blimpie were better.

Ah Lissa, you know me so well...

They do a Veggie Delite, but it seems to be some kind of strange vegetable patty thing- for a shop which makes a big thing out of the number of salad combinations you can have, they do seem to make heavy weather out of making meat-free sandwiches. Benjy's have some more interesting combinations and Boots do a nice falafel wrap.

I never quite took to Blimpie because their idea of salad dressing seemed to be half a pint of vinegar.

[Simon R]

I had one in Soho Square the other week. It was some sort of chicken and bacon on italian bread or something and it was nice.

It's a good story Granpa

[Ralph]

Had my first of the year yesterday, trhe polish girl behind the counter knew what I was going to ask for.

And did she give it to you, sir?

[Ralph]

every time without fail.

[Mike Saville]

Am I allowed to post pictures of my latest sub?

[Wayne]

I miss your presence on these boards Mike! Come back soon!

[Dirk Gently]

I had a cheese & salami sub in Indiananpolis a couple of years ago but I've not had one in England. I'm not sure where the nearest Subway to me is, I think there is one in Buckingham & there is almost definitely one in M.K's shopping centre.

[Ralph]

I got a big smile when I went in for my sub today...
