Subway does not prepare a sandwich until it's ordered.

Do they still give you 25% tofu when you order a chicken sandwich?

That's true, I never ate one but they look terrible... then the dwarf
gets his from the gas station convenience store or 7-11.
A Subway store opened in town here about two years ago, right next to
the supermarket, I never see anyone in the Subway store. At the
supermarket deli there's usually a line waiting for sandwiches...
their sandwiches are far better and cost less than Subway. I can't
imagine Subway will be there much longer.

There is a Subway at the Y where I play pickleball and I occasionally
get a sandwich there. They aren't bad. I would not want a steady diet
of them, but once in a while they make a good quick lunch.

Subway makes subs to order. Not terrible but not so good either.
It's almost like a lunchmeat one you might make at home. I went
once or twice but never again. I get better at the grocery store
or even those 7-11 ones. Best is my locally owned sub
shop....Zero's. About the same price of others but very good and
no enhancement necessary.

What looks terrible about it? You go there, you tell them what you want on
the sandwich, they make it while you wait, done deal.

Their meats don't look like real cold cuts... I'd much rather a SPAM

Before I would take your opinion of it, you would have actually had to have
tried one. I haven't had one for years, but when I did I believe it was the
salami with peppers, red onion rings, and some kind of italian dressing on
it, it was good.

I don't mind a sandwich from Subway. In general, I don't get to eat many cold sandwiches and the idea of a sandwich that don't have some kind of greasy fried meat in them is a welcome change.

Done deal? If they sell tofu for chicken, who knows what you're
eating? You could be eating something vegetarian but thinking it once
had eyes!

Does that extend to baguette sandwiches or sandwiches served in a nice
fresh roll? They can be pretty darned good.

Subways are privately owned, so if that was done, has nothing to do with the
one across the street from me.

Wouldn't they send out their stuff -halfbaked or not- from a central
place to all the franchises?

McDonald's also don't peel their potatoes on each premises.

Yes, they are good for a quick lunch. Every two or three weeks I'll stop
at one on the way home from shopping and get one.

Which one do you order? My favorite is the spicy Italian on Italian bread
with provolone cheese, spinach, lettuce, tomato, a bit of red onion, and a
few black olives. Toasted please, before the condiments are added. Finish
it off with a splash of oil and vinegar and a shake or two of salt and pepper.

Subways are privately owned the same way McDonalds and other similar
business are privately owned, they still need to adhere to the rules
set forth by the parent company, right down to which napkins to use.

As I said, I had a salami last time I was there, the stuff was being sliced,
the veggies were fresh, the bread was freshly baked, not made in store
though, and as far as the tofu thing goes, Subway denied it. I do not go
there often, but have never found one thing wrong with the sandwiches. YMMV

That might be true, but there is a huge difference in some of these places.
For instance there is a McDonald's that is crappy not far from where I am,
the food is usually luke warm, fries soggy, and the whole atmosphere is
shabby. Then there is the one on Lodi Avenue, shiny bright, clean, well
maintained, good hot food, crispy fries etc. Who owns the franchise makes a
heck of a difference, and I have no doubt that some of them would be running
scams to save money.

I don't go there, I just read about it. I think DNA testing can pretty
conclusively say that something isn't chicken. Subway can lie what
they want. And you can eat what you want, I mean what they want

And the people after Subway can lie a lot too, they can also skew testing to
suit themselves.

You know.... they are basically subs. The only difference between them
and what most people think of as subs is the quality of the bread/bun.

"DNA researcher Matt Harnden at Trent University's Wildlife Forensic
DNA Laboratory tested the poultry in six popular chicken sandwiches. "

If he'd been lying about the tofu, he'd have been sued so hard the
remains of his body would be floating around in another solar system.

Strange how these big companies always have little apologists who'll
fight for them

"A submarine sandwich, also known as a sub, hoagie, hero, filled roll,
grinder, wedge, spukie, poorboy, po'boy or Italian sandwich, is the
name given in the United States to a type of sandwich that consists of
a length of bread or roll split crosswise and filled with a variety of
meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments."

Never heard of it except here. I feel empowered knowing where the
Subway chain got its name from.

Strange how they're always having someone trying to bring them down,
sometimes unfounded.

These big corporations -not the people who work there- are always
nasty, by definition. That's why.

The only thing I care about is whether the sandwich tastes good or not. If it tastes good, it's good eats. If it tastes bad, it doesn't matter what's in it. If they made a 53% chicken sandwich that tasted good, that's great news. Especially if you're a chicken.

That could well be. Truth is I never patronize fast food joints. I
tried a few many years ago and never again. If I want an Italian hero
sandwich I much prefer to prepare my own with name brand cold cuts of
my choice, not some unlabled mystery meat that's tantamount to pink
slime sludge. I peeped into the Subway in town, two tables were
occupied, high schoolers eating very small sandwiches with more
lettuce than meat. The place didn't smell right and the people
working there were pimple faced teens themselves. Sandwiches weren't
premade but the meats were pre sliced... who knows how many hours/days
ago. For less money I can get a huge sandwich at the market deli next
door, made with Boar's Head and other national brands. But most times
I'll buy name brand cold cuts by the pound and prepare my sandwich at
home exactly how I like it, and with Guldens mustard, not some cheapo
yallow diaper slime. How difficult is to build a sandwich that people
need to buy one at a stinkin' fast food joint. DI LUSSO® GENOA with
provolone is my favorite. Of course you'll need loaves of fresh baked
semolina bread baked in Brooklyn... yes, my gang brings me when they
visit.

I think half your post is bullshit, plain and simple.

The super Walmart that I shop at has a Subway franchise in the store, near
the self-checkout lines. The smell of their fresh baked bread is maddening.
I guess that's why it's close to those checkout lines and the exit so you'll
just walk right over there and order a sandwich.

True. Most sub shops do use crappy bread and cheap meats and cheeses.
They also tend to use a lot of shredded lettuce as filler. They seem to
prefer size over quality. That is why I have eaten so few and only once
or twice made the mistake of buying one myself. Never the less, there
are lots of great sandwiches sold in buns or rolls that fit the
definition of a sub but which are excellent.

That's true. The future is 0% chicken. They could always put 2 fake
eyes on the sandwich to fool the meat eaters.
