If all you have to choose from is shit, you’ll always end up with a shit sandwich.

And at the end of the day it’s just a sandwich, made with fresh ingredients, how can that be even bad?
NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
“Fresh ingredients” is a questionable statement
maxalmonte14@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I cannot speak for all Subways over the world but here where I’m located, and according to my own experience, they seem to be fresh.

I remember when they were putting so much sugar in the bread they legally couldn’t call it bread anymore.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That was in a specific country and that country was correct.
DisOne@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
The ingredients are ok. It’s the bread. It smells weird, tastes awful and nowadays I can’t even walk past their stores without holding my nose.
maxalmonte14@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Really? I can understand that. IDK how different Subway is in America (or any other country for that matter) but in here I don’t see any issue with their bread, or at least I haven’t had any so far.

Remember the subway fake chicken controversy?
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
There was also that thing a few years ago where Ireland said subway’s bread couldn’t legally be called bread.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I am pretty sure that the test was badly done and the whole 50% thing was the result of shitty sampling. Yes, they have soy protein additives but fake chicken is more expensive than real chicken and the tests were never confirmed by a second lab.
A lot of fast food does end up having meat that is significantly lower than 100% meat just by doing seasoning and preservatives. Taco Bell for example has a crazy amount spices and filler ratio which is partially due to the fact that meat volume is reduced as the moisture is cooked out. They are still excessive though.
Subway gets picked on the most both due to how it has the most locations (or did at one point) and it brags about the food quality. Nobody picks on KFC for how fatty their fried chicken is because we know it is fatty. Subway played themselves.

Subway is just about the lowest quality garbage you can get. I think McDonald’s is maybe the only thing lower quality.
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
As someone who likes a good subway every once in a while, there are definitely a few things you should refrain from ordering.
Chicken comes to mind.
Also, the recipe for bread they use in the US is different from many other countries because in those other countries the American version can’t legally be called bread. (I think it had to do with the sugar content)
Subway also has a history of being pretty hostile towards anyone who speaks against their “healthy fast food” narrative. I mentioned chicken above, well they sued CBC for reporting on a study that found Subway chicken was only about 50% chicken DNA, with the rest being soy protein.
They were also sued a couple years back by someone claiming their tuna wasn’t really tuna, but that case was dismissed by the plaintiff, citing pregnancy complications making it difficult to continue.

I think me not eating meat anymore has a lot to do with the way I perceive Subway, I remember trying their meatball sandwich a couple of times and not liking it, it tasted weird to me but I know people who liked it so I didn’t pay much attention to it. Nowadays I just order a sandwich stuffed with as many vegetables as possible, or their soy protein one.
rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
The meat is so bad. Have a look at a slice of the salami next time you’re there. Sometimes it seems more fat than anything else.
Subway is the most available fast food in a lot of rural Colorado towns, so I’ve eaten my share traveling around the state
maxalmonte14@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m not in the US so chances are by going to Subway we both would have different experiences, years ago I worked near a Subway so I stopped by all the time, their salami sandwich was maybe the one I ordered the most, it was OK.
Paddzr@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Subway is the only gluten free option fast food in UK. It’s the only place I can reliably eat at and I’ve yet to have a bad experience, staff goes above and beyond to not cross contaminate their food.
Aolley@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Can someone explain this, this post doesn’t make sense to me
bstix@feddit.dk 3 weeks ago
At Subway the customer picks the stuff that goes into the sandwich.
It’s basically build your own food, except it’s someone else’s fingers in your food.
dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
Buy what if you get to make your own sandwich? run the oven and all
zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 3 weeks ago
Worse ingredients, worse sandwiches. Subway.
Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 weeks ago
I mean… you don’t have any choice about the quality of the meat. Didn’t Subway get in trouble because they couldn’t prove their tuna salad actually contained any, uh… tuna?
groet@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Not really. There was a lawsuit that claimed they contain no tuna. A lab found no tuna DNA, a different lab did. The lawsuit shifted to “does not contain only this type if tuna”.
Also highly processed food (especially after it was cooked) does not contain any DNA that is identifiable.
Pothetato@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That smell tho
anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
You haven’t thought about the smell, you bitch!
lepinkainen@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
A footlong sub (not a meal) is around 13€ here.
I can get a full ass restaurant meal for that
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
A footlong sub can be a meal, if you put enough stuff on it. And the veggies don’t make it cost more. Just load it up with everything and get your money’s worth.

OK, then how much do I earn?
OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I was a sandwich artist; the best sandwiches you truly have to make yourself.
My favorite nowadays is a tuna on flat bread, double extra bacon, American cheese, lettuce, spinach, cucumber, tomato, red onion, light on the sweet onion sauce, and a little mayo.

I worked at a Pizza Hut in highscool and the first months of college. I’d never eat there as a civilian but some of the shit were (the workers) made was downright delectable.
There’s a kind of “unofficial” pizza hut menu that employees share around with all kinds of crazy stuff that you could never get just by customizing it online. The “twice-baked Hut Favorite meatball supreme” was my favorite.
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I know this is a shitpost but I’ll never pass an opportunity to shit on subway.
It’s the shit quality ingredients and how they keep changing everything.
I use to eat subway all the time. Then they changed the only fuckin sauce I ever got, then removed it completely. I was fine with other sauces but then they started fucking with them too. This along with the ever increasing drop in overall quality of ingredients I can’t even eat half a 6" without feeling sick.
Signed - Someone who used to fucking love subway ranting about how it’s been completely ruined.

It’s so expensive now too and the veggies taste like water. 6.99 for a 6inch cold cut in Canada
cm0002@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s crazy to me how wildly varying Subways can be, all the Subways in my area are fairly decent and I like them.
I particularly like Subway because of the choice of veggies, I literally say “all veggies” at the veggies part and I know damn well I’m not even going to keep a fraction of the veggies at home. I can’t even keep lettuce good for very long before it goes nasty.
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
My town has 3 subways and they’re all terrible anymore.
