The sandwich makers can then just focus on making your sandwich to spec rather than asking 10 million questions and waiting form me to stutter through a serous of "yes" and "no" responses.Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-88654111255225566252012-04-22T15:55:09.147-07:002012-04-22T15:55:09.147-07:00Too bad Subway didn't measure up to your memor...Too bad Subway didn't measure up to your memories.

It was the weirdest thing ever. First of all, all their cheese is grated, which doesn't make sense to me on sandwiches, mayo is not an option (nor is how much they slather on your sandwich), there are no pepperocinis or peppers for that matter and the meat situation is scant. So...I had to give up Subway for about a year. :) I do however go to Subway here in Montreal.Bethany C Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680443616002300791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-22124957189206402182012-04-21T08:47:59.960-07:002012-04-21T08:47:59.960-07:00Our Subway is kind of hit or miss on quality - not...Our Subway is kind of hit or miss on quality - not a huge fan lately.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-44521752084149036672012-04-21T08:41:29.768-07:002012-04-21T08:41:29.768-07:00I've never been much of a Francophile (for som...I've never been much of a Francophile (for some of the reasons you mentioned in your post), but I had a similar experience with the Scots and Mexican food.<br />I lived in Scotland 3 summers and then one full year. Especially during the full year, I missed Mexican food. Now, the Scots like Indian food, and you can get some really tasty stuff. I liked that. But I missed Mexican food.<br />One day I was delighted to find "nachos" on the menu in a cafe. I ordered them -- and got minestrone soup poured over corn chips and served on a plate. Seriously, my "nachos" had potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. Um. No. It was a tasty combo, as the soup was well-made, but it certainly wasn't anywhere near Mexican (and nachos are really a Mexican-American creation anyway).Lisa Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141316010311729143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-25762200482299351892012-04-21T08:25:41.699-07:002012-04-21T08:25:41.699-07:00I love Subway, even though I do not eat there ofte...I love Subway, even though I do not eat there often.
