OK, so we know what it’s NOT, but do we know what it IS?
Cardboard ... and mayonnaise
Does it taste like tuna?
It did, however, test positive for cat fur and boiled yak face.
As we used to say in high school....(55 years ago)
“Tuna, the fish that smells like a finger.”
Because the NYT is so honest and incorruptible they would never make this up for the sake of a competitor’s ad dollars. If people like the food, they will eat the food.
But it identifies as tuna, and that makes it tuna.
So, what did Subway do or say that warranted an anal probe by the NYT?
I read a story about two brothers who would bet each each other to do these crazy things for kicks. One of them is very allergic to chicken and carries an epi-pen just in case.
They’re sitting in a McDonald’s and the non-allergic brother bets the allegic one $100.00 to eat a nugget. Tells him not worry because he’ll hit him with the pen if anything goes wrong.
The allergic brother eats the nugget... nothing happened. Nothing.
Also, for those who didn't read past the headline, there's this from the article:
Inside Edition did its own test of the tuna sandwich in February, in which it had a Florida-based lab test sandwiches from three Subway locations in New York. That test confirmed that tuna was in the sandwiches.
So it could very well be that the NYT (shockingly...) cut some corners in terms of the testing it had done. Likely because they had a story narrative that they wanted to push.
I buy fake crab salad in the deli at my small town grocery. I know it's not crab. It's some sort of fish. They label it as seafood salad. But it looks like crab. It tastes like crab. And it's delicious.
If I was concerned that it wasn't crab, I wouldn't buy it.
Subway is total crap. I grew up in Philadelphia where mom an pop delis are all over the place. Nothing is pre-measured. Hoagie rolls are incredible, nothing like the crap bread at Subway. The meats and cheese sit in a refrigerated case and you know exactly what you are getting. Meats and cheeses are sliced directly on your hoagie roll. Anything like prepared food (tuna, meatballs) are top notch. Plus, there is usually a pickle barrel that lends a wonderful and unique aroma to the place. Those delis ruined me from wanting to go to Subway after the first time I tried subway.
Anything in the mix from Bill Clinton?
Sorry Charlie, They don’t want tuna with good taste.
Solves the mercury thing though, huh?
“ conduct a PCR test to see if the substance had one of five different tuna species. After a month, the lab said it found “no amplifiable tuna DNA was present in the sample and so we obtained no amplification products from the DNA.”
But all tested positive for covid 19
Last time I went to Subway, I asked for a roast beef sub and they said, we don’t sell roast beef any more.
I can only guess it’s to fight climate change.
used to like subway years ago, when the ingredients were better (at least seemed to be) - been downhill for years, and haven’t set foot in the place for about 10 years.
Yeah, but how many tunas would they actually be acquainted with? I mean, there’s Charlie, but after that...
