Be Excellent To Each Other

Am I the only person on here who doesn't really like Subway?

Everything tastes of plastic...

I think it's aces. It's all down to the sauce, though. Without sauce, Subway is NOTHING.

Footlong subway club with no cheese. But double meat, with tomatos, cucumber, and lettuce, with a sprinkle of salt.

That's a filling meal right there. (and pretty healthy too) None of your hungry again in 30 minutes you get with other fast food.

It's alright!

Burgerking > KFC > Subway > McDonalds

Rather have a curry / chinese / chippy though

Also:
Me "Er, Footlong Steak & Cheese on Wheat please"
Subway Girl "Would you like cheese on that?"
Me ???!!!! LOL

Footlong Subway Melt on Wheat, regular cheese, toasted, with lettuce, cucumber and peppers. Southwest sauce.

Yum!

And to correct Zardoz

Burger King > Subway > KFC > Handfuls of my own excrement > McDonalds

Subway>Burger King>McDonalds>KFC

How do you justify your continued existance?

Proper takeaway > Subway > McDonalds > KFC > Burger King.

Southwest sauce "FTW".

Footlong chicken pizziola on herbs and cheese with regular cheese, chipotle southwest sauce and extra jalepenos is what I'd like every day (scratch that, every meal), what I normally have is a footlong club on wheat, toasted no cheese, and a single stripe of light mayo because that's remotely healthy. All the salad (including olives, gherkins and jalepenos) on either. Footlong because if I'm not packing lunch I don't take crisps, yogurt and cereal bar, so it balances. Sort of.

Footlong is essential.

It's no wonder I'm fat.

What Z said.

It's a struggle, I must admit.

Okay, since the masses are against me, I will give Subway another chance. Since there are approximately 53627 of them near my office, I will go and have one for lunch today.

Which should I have??

Cheese steak with Southwest sauce.

Footlong BMT on plain, double meat double cheese, olives and ranch dressing.

I am not keen on olives. This probably makes me a bad person.

Cheese steak with southwest sauce sounds nice... but is the steak the kind of crappy rubbish they put on 'steak pizzas'? The kind that McDonalds rejected...

I love Subway, but living out in the country the nearest one is about an hour away.

Pity me.

I think the steak's rank, really 'gritty'.

Tell them you're being talked into reconsidering your opinion by your mates, see if they'll let you have two different 6 inchers for the same price as a single footlong

Footlong melt on herbs and cheese, southwest sauce.

Although I have to say, just for fun the other day I had a melt with honey mustard sauce, and it completely changed the sandwich for me. Still good mind you

Footlong Subway Melt on Honey Oat, with your choice of salad n sauces. (perrsonally, I go with the usual salad and mayo.)

Its just a sandwich IMHO

McD's = BK > KFC > Subway

unless you are talking for something above £5 and more than 10 minutes to eat in which case I'd pick another type of takeaway.

Dominos > Indian > Chinese

What is in a 'Melt'? It's disturbingly non-specific. I'd imagine cheese and something...

I was wondering this as well. I imagined something out of Robocop...

Polonium.

Slices of ham, chicken, and bacon + cheese = melt.

Its cheese and glorious, glorious meat, melted together then slapped on to your sub.

After having a bacon and egg panini from work this morning for breakfast, I really am going to b fucking up some arteries today...

Don't worry—it's only a matter of time before Subway's ridiculous expansion plan means there'll be one in every street (and then, every house).

As some will know, I used to work in a Subway for about 2 months. It was horrific, and I've only been able to eat there since when there's been no other choice except hunger. Working there, I mean. But, depending on what you want to eat, it can be okay.

Top TOP top TOP tip: no 'dressed' chicken.
Also, the red onion was always incredibly nasty, and frequently rotten. And er, used to make sandwiches anyway.
If you are vegetarian, and it looks even *slightly* busy, insist they change their gloves before prep. They can't refuse to do this.
Try and avoid getting one during any kind of busy period - it's company policy to put on new employees during these times, oddly, so you're likely to have to wait for ages AND get a shitty sandwich by some newbie fuckwit.

Burger King > McDonalds > KFC > Subway

Since everyone else is doing it:

KFC > McDonalds > Burger King > Subway

Though Subway is really a different genre to me.

Food > McDonalds

8.89/10

Slightly OT but:

Does anyone ever get those horrendous looking ready made burgers/kebabs that you warm up in the microwave? I can't believe that any sane person would want them.

To be more precise.

Subway isn't 'bleurgh' to me, but I don't find it particularily nice - and it does have a sort of plasticy taste to it. Better than KFC and MacDonalds naturally - probably better than Burger King too. I'm not sure, I haven't been to the above three in many, many years. But I'd rather have a baguette from some deli than Subway, personally.

Yes Pete, I'd rather make my own sarnies though these days. Buying lunch everyday soon adds up. </tightarse>

It certainly does. A twat I work with regularly buys 2 massive cobs from the local Firkins each day to the tune of 8 quid or so.

During uni I had many of these. To a student who'd eat most things, these really weren't that bad. The meat was shit, obviously, and were typified by finding 'hard bits' in the burger.

Add a cheese slice.

I really should start doing that too. My nickname used to be 'Luxury Pete', which I earned during fruitpicking due to the high-quality lunches I would buy whilst mates were eating dairylee sarnies.

"I am Luxury Pete, I demand luxury service."

I'm surprised to see so much anti-KFC sentiment. I always thought KFC the lesser of fast-food evils, although we no longer eat there due to the company not giving a fuck about animal welfare. Mind you, the initial KFC love probably came from living in Iceland, where KFC is approximately 435.33 times better than it is in the UK. See also: fast food in general. Better burgers, way better ice cream (including a bunch of video stores with ice-cream 'bars'), and the best pizza around. No wonder I put on a stone in weight during the 18 months I lived there.

Hmm. I going to add up how much my lunch costs me today. Maybe I should making my own, too.

I like Subway
Their meatball mariana is to do for, with extra cheese ofc..and their cookies are nice.

I love LOVE KFC...mmm that's some gooood chickens. Boneless ofc. And Pizza hut is the food of the gods, I am addicted and have to be careful.
I don't much like McDonalds, although their chicken nuggets are nicer now and Burger king sucks arse.

I have those microwaveable burgers sadly often, due to living/working/travelling arrangements that mean I'm often left at the mercy of the corner ship, for my dinner. The 'Feasters' microwaveable hot dogs are good. Being just a bun, a hotdog, and some excellent tomato sauce. Yes. 'Feasters' tomato sauce sachets make it.

Pork Farms' Chicken Tikka Slice FTW, though.

I just tend to do the following in rotation:

Some sort of pasta dish with tomatoes, onions, mushroom, paste and meat/special veg of choice.

Quiche and exciting salad.

Sausages and beans and hash browns.

Exciting salad and meat of choice.

Trout/salmon steak and tatters.

Pizza. Dr. Oetkar's for pref. (Or however you spell his name, but disappointingly few places do his.)

A big soup.

Rare steak, tatters and salad/carrots.

With the odd exicting Wednesday/Sunday innovation, that tends to be my rotating regular tea-time menu. Microwave burgers? Eurgh. Though the above list is possibly why I cannot afford console games, or indeed a console to play it on. (At least I have my DS Lite, so I don't feel entirely left out.)

I make my lunch almost every day, and my wife's, too. Generally, the quality's way higher, and it costs a fraction of the price of going out. (In my case, it's also convenient—as I work from home, it'd take at least fifteen minutes to get to the nearest place to buy something, grab whatever I'm after, and return home. Plus their stuff isn't all that anyway.

i like metrosystems though

I spend a fortune on food every day. It's terrible.

I used to work somewhere (two places, in fact) with subsidised restaurants. One gave me a three course meal for under a fiver, and the other was for free. They saved me loads of money.

Currently I buy a sandwich or wrap, a bag of crisps and some form of treat. I normally drink water, but have recently been getting lured by lovely Copella apple juice from the fridge here. I probably end up spending (including occasional breakfasts) about 30 quid a week on food whilst at work. Maybe more, as I sometimes have yoghurts and stuff too...

That's quite a lot actually. Ho hum.

I usually spend £4.50 on a morning coffee and muffin, £6 on lunch and £6 on fags.

£16.50 a day. That's £3.3k a year on consumables, not including weekends.

Woah, shit!
Also: You smoke 20 a day? I would have imagined less.

Indeed. I remember back in the late-90s a Subway was a rare and exciting treat in the UK - the first one I ever found was in Wakefield, and until a few years ago the only other place I'd seen a Subway was in London. Now there are 2 in Wigan town centre, and even one 3 minutes away from my house on the town's outskirts.

Yup, 20 a day for 12 years. It's time to stop this year.
