I’ve never eaten at a subway, ever.

I totally forgot that you lived with that hell for so long!

I did have a brief gardenburger phase, when I thought I’d try being a vegetarian. I kind of forgot about that. I often try to forget about the horrible things I did to my health when I thought I was a vegetarian, but was actually malnourished.

Subway… *twitch*
So many idiot customers. Not you. But genuine idiots. Ones that would ask me to “make it like in the picture” or would ask what the difference between a six-inch and a footlong was or would ask what types of bread we have. While standing in front of the bread display.

And that sickly yeasty smell that NEVER washed out of my shirts.

Eeuurrrrgggghh.

Even now, I only set foot in a Subway under cases of extreme desperation. Or if I really REALLY want a gardenburger. Both rare.

For what it’s worth, my personal favorite is gardenburger (chicken breast, if you’re not quite that daring), provolone, southwest sauce and mayo, all the veg (especially onions, pickles and hots) on parmesan & oregano.

I did try reading the menu yesterday. I read everything there was! But I couldn’t give up on my plain old boring turkey. I didn’t get hots yesterday, though, because I wasn’t feeling the full stomach love. I adore hot peppers, especially the pickled ones, but I always take a stomach inventory before eating them. Yesterday was not a good day for pickled banana peppers.

Now I’m thinking about hot peppers! I wonder if they’ll have some in the salad bar at lunch…

i always order the same thing ALWAYS, ever since i can remember. we used to stop at a subway on the corner by the fishers island ferry if we had time to grab dinner before boarding. my parents averted ordering and whining disasters by just ordering three of the same exact sandwich. italian bmt. and that is what i eat to this day. i used to be able to order it with all the veggies except hots, but now they’ve added cucumbers and mushrooms to the mix so i have to say each vegetable outloud and i’m always sure to add “extra pickles.” that last bit is VERY important! oh, and now i get it toasted on honey oat, since it’s offered. but yeah, i’m boring. sometimes, like last night, i ventured to look at the menu, and fred was in awe because i never do, just order the same old thing, every time. in the end, i disappointed and amused, as i ordered old faithful, again. why mess with what you love?
