Has anyone else tasted the swedish meatball ragu hot wraps in the pret-a-manger chain of sandwich shops in london?

Oh my god! they are delicious (and only 500 calories), these days the first place i visit when i'm in london, is a pret-a-manger for one of these tasty creations...

Dawn Farm Foods, which supplies the Subway chain, has withdrawn some of its cooked meat products due to a salmonella scare.

The company said that as a precaution it had withdrawn batches of beef, chicken and bacon from the made-to-order sandwich trade.

Potentially contaminated meat was supplied to Subway, which has confirmed that specific batches of its Philly Style Steak and Chicken Fajita products have been withdrawn from sale.

Still tempted?

I think its awful. It just doesn't taste like a roll should....bleagh. There was a place just called Murphy's on Baggot St (maybe) that used to be the king of all things sandwich...Not sure if its still there.

If it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger!

I was going to have a meatball sub yesterday evening but decided on the bacon, ham and turkey melt instead. I put it in my bag and on the way home I was starving so I popped in for a kebab as well. Had the subway when I got back to my apt., was well stuffed after it!

Subway - "Eat Fresh" - what a lie

A lot of the meat they use is 'reformed meat'. Reformed meat consists the pieces of meat that cant be cut from the animal, ie. the waste meat left over. Its usually stuck to the skin or bone of the carcass, which are sent though a scraping machine or a power hose. All the loose 'meat' is then heated and a load of additives, preservatives and bonding chemicals are added to bind it together. The resulting mix is then poured into a cast to get its shape.

Also the tomatoes they use are far bigger than anything you can by in a supermarket. They must be genetically modified or else pumped full of growth hormones.

The only thing fresh is the salmonella

but there is nothing more frustrating than people who count calories and do all that stuff. If you dont want to get fat here is an idea...EXERCISE!!!!

Weight control by exercise alone? You should really bring this idea to market as it would make you a millionaire.

How about if you don't want high blood pressure? Or if you don't want an onset of type two diabetes? Please share your exercise only plan for these complaints. This should see you into the billionaire leagues.

It's great that you can eat what you want (me too) but you have to realise that does not work for everybody.

Nope there are tomatoes that size, remember them a lot from holidays when younger. Think they are beef eater tomatoes if I remember correctly.

As for the reformed meat you are right but then again if you enjoy a nice irish fry you will be having pretty much the same meet in a sausage.

That show a couple of weeks ago on the sanbo industry was a real eye opener. The facts about the different main retailers was pretty amazing, subway was about the worst or was it gregs, pret (which are part owned by the golden arches, and taste so damn good) where bad and their labels and statements are a load of horse dodo. Boots came out looking the best of a bad bunch.

Ireland really sucks compared to the likes of London for lunch options.

Just like most the meat everywhere. All that sliced ham you see in the supermarket is the same no matter what the brand is trying to tell you. Most people haven't a clue what real meat even looks like.

Please ignore this person. He is telling a lie. I can confirm this because I just got my subway and it was not awful, if anything it was marvelous!!!

Meatballs, melted cheese, pickles, tomatoes, peppers and that Southwest sauce. Tasty indeed.

****ing hell. I am so hungry right now and can't be reading things like that.

Miguel_Sanchez · 13-08-2008 03:06PM

Subway bread tastes wrong. Subway sandwiches are always below par imitations of a decent sandwich that you'd get somewhere like the Pig and Heifer on Pearse Street.

Booooo to Subway I say. Boo!

Jigsaw · 13-08-2008 03:16PM

I really want a dirty big KFC right now.

Jack Sheehan · 13-08-2008 03:25PM

Small story here, I was telling my dad the other day that I had been down in Tuam, in Galway. I was saying they have a new shopping centre and a subway. He was really shocked at this until I told him it was subway in the sense of sandwiches, not underground rail.
