    The real scandal is paying for an oversized wafer that is 70% air. Never tasted right either.

    The meat they use is of the very lowest quality. You know those really cheap pizzas you can buy for less than a euro in Tesco? Same quality of ham and salami on those as in a Subway roll. It's mechanically and chemically extracted meat from the carcass that is then formed into a meat slurry, dyed the same colour as ham/salami/turkey etc, and shaped into the final product using binding agents. It's the same process used for that wafer thin ham some people seem to like.

    Subway have a reputation in the industry for pushing suppliers extremely hard on price, and will always go for the lowest cost products that met the very minimum standards expected of human-grade meat products.

    I'm only bringing this up because of the post about the meat quality. I didn't bring it up in the OP because it wasn't relevant. But I've been veggie for 20 ish years. Only ever got the veggies in the sub until recently they started the beyond meat(tm) meat balls which I tried 2 or 3 times. Still normall go for just veggies and cheese though.

    I detest the rush to the bottom when it comes to food.

    Think I might give Subway a miss from now on after reading that!

    Prior to lockdown I ate in subway ever single Friday for years. Planning to have my first one since lockdown this Friday and not a damn could I give about this sugar content.

    Italian BMT - delicious my mouth is watering already thinking about it.

    I have my lunch out a fair bit and sometimes for a change I go to subway.

    I always sit down with my footlong, look around and question my life choices and ask if I deserve more than this.

    This is pretty crazy. The sugar content is 10% that of the flour used in the dough. The legal limit is 2%!:eek:

    https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/sandwiches-in-subway-too-sugary-to-meet-legal-definition-of-being-bread-39574778.html

    I get Subway from time to time, probably still will. If anything, I hope they reduce the sugar. I don't need or want it in my bread. Feel free to add more cheese to it though. :pac:

    If that's the case so, surely its false advertising with their"healthy sandwiches".

    Dead right. I used to have a foot long meatball every now and then and I always noticed about an hour later I was hungry. The thing looks huge but it's definitely misleading.

    In my house sharing days when someone else was doing the hangover Subway run I had a handy mnemonic so they always got my order right-"a football Italia with poop." That's a footlong meatball on Italian with peppers, onion, olives and pickles.
