Fast Times: Chicken Soup and a BLT Sub with Avocado at Subway

• I learned a long time ago that the best thing to get at Subway is a Vegeterian Sandwhich and ask nicely to drag it through the garden and load it up as much as possible. When you add a protein all it does is load the sandwich with tons of salt and that is all you will taste. Try it some time.  If you just eat the veggies it actually tastes like something other than salt.

• Clearly.

• I cannot deal with it.

• This girl does not eat tuna, unless it's tuna steak. BLECH.

• *sigh* Bruce, you are so hard to please. If I like something, you get mad. If I don't like something, you get mad. I've noticed you find a LOT wrong with me and the way I eat, and the way I write about what I eat. I apologize for making you so unhappy. For the record, when you're driving from Alaska to New York, sometimes Subway is all you get, especially when you like to take a shit on a daily basis. I'd love to have eaten nothing but cheeseburgers, but some of us enjoy not being constipated on three week road trips. And I've loved every 6-inch veggie delite on wheat w/ swiss I've ever eaten from Subway, so deal with it.

• I do not CASUALLY toss away food, ever. The soup was bad. I love the way you lump me in with this class of EOW bloggers who are "enamored with" whatever. When did I claim my palate was so refined, anyway? If you're going to insult me, insult ME, but don't use things I've never claimed to be, or have. As for sounding spoiled and elitist, I think I have plenty to learn from you.

• Perhaps, but it's not where the sandwich started to fail. Not even close. It would have mitigated the awfulness, at best. And you're right about the avocado.

• delete "I tossed the soup after six bites." the rest of the assessment of the soup still makes the point

• Subway sucks.  But you've eaten there a shitload of times so you should know that.  But you don't.

• Why not leave a big part of the meal out of the review because it's bad? You do know what a review is, right?

• like mom always said, "rick, there are people starving in Africa, eat that!" to which I replied, "here, send it to them, I don't want to see them suffer..."

• Just wondering... What would you have done with the remainder of a sandwich or a bowl of soup that you simply weren't going to eat?

• no, but as the majority of EOW bloggers seem to be enamored with notions of "sustainability,' "snout-to-tail eating," and similar presumably respectful treatments of food and ingredients, they certainly go out of their way to literally trash something when it doesn't agree with their allegedly refined palates. why not leave it out of the review? you all sound like spoiled, elitist children

• Why, do you enjoy eating garbage?

• it still amazes me the amount of food that EOW bloggers casually "toss after six bites..."

• You should have stuck with the tuna on wheat.

• The lack of toasting is where you did fail. :( The bacon is kept in the cold bins, it only gets hot and crispy when you toast the sammich. Subway somehow managed to ruin avocado, though, I've tried it twice and both times it was the most meh thing you can imagine!
