Go to subway sandwich ?


Pepperoni pizza sub. How about you ?

reply

Turkey, provolone, onions, bellepeppers, banana peppers, pickles, sweet onion sauce, then toasted. I can't eat raw vegetables anymore.

reply

That sounds amazing

reply

Does toasting the sub really change the veggies that much? I wouldn't have thought so. Sounds like they must mess with your digestion. I'm not all that young. Is this normal when people age, they can't tolerate raw veggies?

reply

It does make a difference But no. I didn't want to mention it but I had my colon and most of my large intestine taken out back in December of 2014 and because of it I can't eat raw vegetables anymore. This includes salsa. If I do eat them I get a horrible stomach ache.

Sorry to hear this. I knew a guy who was maybe in his early thirties who had similar surgery. We never talked about diet. He was a very interesting guy and maybe had an ulcer at an early age, I'm not sure.
As far as my own diet, I know I SHOULD eat more veggies and the less cooked, the better. But I'm 60 so whatever habits I have aren't likely to change much by now.
And I do like your choice of Subway veggies. I always get tomatoes, banana peppers and spinach, no matter what style of sub it is. Helps assuage my conscience that I'm not totally clueless about my food choices.

reply

Believe it or not the thing I miss most is salad. I've liked salad since I was a kid and now I can't have it.

reply

Please don't punch me out as I hear that's your thing, but Subway is gross...

In New York you can't throw a Nerf ball without hitting an excellent Jewish or Italian deli

You should move here if you like delis so much Mister Man!

reply

I do love delis very much. Nothing like a Ruben done just right . I love New York . Best vacation I ever had .

reply

Oh yes, a Reuben with a side of fries, cole slaw and a dill pickle can't be beat

reply

Yes. Sometimes I’ll get the slaw right on the sandwich. Love a little crunch. I might replace the fries with potato chips. Extra dill pickles !

reply

One time I requested onion rings instead of french fries and the waitress refused to accommodate my wishes!
I ate my Reuben crying that time, planning my vengeance...it was tasty and I tipped well
But she will get hers!

reply

Was rings on the menu

reply

That's a moot point Sir!
The costumer is always right

reply

So we can have any side we want ? I want French onion soup

reply

Hmm...That sounds like a fine choice

reply

It’s the best soup

reply

What do you have against New England clam chowder?!

I'm not looking for trouble but people are talking about your soup preferences is all I'm saying

reply

Absolutely! I love French onion soup.

reply

I'll have a side of waitress :)

reply

Over easy?

reply

scrambled :)

reply

Around these parts, a Happy Waitress is a grilled cheese with tomato and bacon.

reply

'Happy Waitress' sounds like an innuendo LOL

reply

I prefer slaw to sauerkraut

reply

Let's have both:)

reply

Subway is far from the best sandwich place, BUT if you find yourself looking to save money and lose a little weight, you can do a lot worse for yourself.

There's one across the street from where I work and I'll often get a foot long oven roasted chicken on wheat with all the veggies (except olives, ugh) and honey mustard. I'll have half for lunch and half for dinner. Pretty tasty and each half only has about 300 calories and it costs about $7.00 total so I end up getting two meals for less than the cost of one at any of the other (albeit better) sandwich places in the area.

Funny aside, the sandwich shop right next to that subway has an autographed photo from Jim Gaffigan which he inscribed "Subway Sucks!"

reply

Gaffigan is pretty funny
I call him That Hot Pocket Guy, everyone seems to know who I'm talking about

reply

Hotttt Pocketssss....

reply

Yes, exactly like that😆

reply

And yet there are Subway shops doing a brisk business in NYC. Along with more than a few Domino's Pizza locations!

Subway isn't horrible but it's hard to eat there after eating here:

(There's a Reuben in there with your name on it, Shoggie!)

reply

I'm amazed that Subway, Domino's and Taco Bell can turn a buck in downstate New York
We have a million Jews, Italians and Mexicans doing those sorts of foods perfectly

Maybe in Wyoming or some far flung place, but NY?!?

I find it puzzling Tex and now you have me craving a Reuben😤!

reply

Salami, american cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, green pepper, oil & vinegar

reply

Steak & Cheese.

reply

The one and only

reply

Where I live and during this time of year there's more flies in Subway than people.

reply

Cold cur combo sub for me.

reply

Ever try Jimmy Johns?

Much much better than Subway.

I always get the roast beef with hot peppers and mustard.

reply

I like Jimmy Johns. My favorites are their Italian or turkey subs.

reply

subway is garbage

reply

^^this 100%
