Scully Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 OH and me missed tea rushing for the cinema last week so grabbed a sandwich from Subway before we went in to see the film. Mine went in the bin after two bites, and OH's followed shortly after. Absolute garbage! Why are they so popular, or is it just us? I' ve done the same with Costas coffee, yet they're always busy!

shalfordninja33 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) I avoid the big franchises where possible. I’m with you the quality is of the food and coffee is poor. Im almost always able to find an independent that serves a better product for not a lot more money. The only one I tend to use if I have to in London is Pret.

paulinlincs Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Money saving tips for Subway. Just order the cheapest as they all taste exactly the same. I used to go in when they first opened but soon realised they are not very nice and as already stated all taste the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yummy. I love the 6 inch italian bread. Sweet or sometimes hot chili sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Totally agree most of the selections taste pretty much the same, chicken is boiled and bland, all the salami and hams we get here are essentially tasteless, the bread selection is just gimmick because they don't actually taste of anything, then you go and pile the same kind of salad stuff all over it so no wonder you can't tell them apart ! I do eat them from time to time when hungry but the only one worth a mention is the meat ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycooker Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Mcds put pickles in their burgers or as they contain so much sugar they’d be classed as a dessert !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Best sandwich around me is local butchers, keep it simple two slices of his own ham and mustard. Everyone else seems to use prepacked ,'ham' which tastes of nothing. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only been in once,as you was in a hurry and the picture of what i ordered looked great.JESUS! rather a large lass put it together, well threw it together.She had more stuff on the floor than between the bread,oh she was in a proper hurry. The bread was that soggy with the off the toms that it flopped onto the pavement when i went to take a bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzicat Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 There are worse things, in the gutter near a Chinese noodle bar on Union Street Aberdeen, one Monday morning was a pile of noodles,someone had abandoned, two seagulls walked past them & proceeded to fight over a piece of Pizza crust.

udderlyoffroad Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I bought a Subway on the way home from my permission, as I was so hungry I briefly considered the only other food I had with me, I.e. raw pigeon meat, still in its wrapper. I should have stuck with the pigeon! It was a bland, overpriced amalgam of cheap meat and 'meh' cheese, not anywhere near worth what they were charging for the pleasure...Despite being a ‘mid thirties kid’ as alluded to above, I fail to understand the appeal. As for Costa and Starbucks, I make superior coffee at home with pretty run-of-the-mill (pun intended) Taylors beans purchased from whomever has them on special. Short story long, I've got sandwiches with me for after my mooch around tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diss4111 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I hate Subway with a passion. I hate all the questions 'what sort of bread' do you want cheese, do you want toasted, do you want this that or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Chickens terryaki with hot chilli, pepper cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and jalapeños on whatever the cheesy/herby bread is called. It’s not good for you and there’s definitely tastier food out there but I’ve done the thick end of 30yrs eating my mother’s food and not died and unlike the Italians my ‘momma’ wasn’t and still isn’t a capable cook!!!
