"I think by some definitions, Guinness could qualify as bread."
Subway might be able to appeal this to EU court. I understand that’s why Budweiser is now classified as “beer” in Germany (who cares about 500 year old purity laws?)
Its certainly one of the major food groups. A properly pulled Guinness and a shepherds pie.
This seems like some idiotic, nanny state type stuff fully consistent with the asinine policies one would expect of the Irish government. With that said, Subway’s bread is, at least in terms of taste & texture, a pretty poor excuse for bread.
Yep.... A few slices daily keeps you sane. I measure mine by the yard....
Haven’t touched Guinness since their boycott attacks on the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on behalf of the gaystapo. Haven’t bothered with Murphy’s or Beamish either for the same reason.
AFAICS, the only Irish stout that I can avail of that didn’t go political (i.e. that I can get in the USA) is O’Hara’s, a new brand brewed in Carlow.
I find the buns too soft as a result of too much yeast for the flour used. I am sure the sugar content in the dough causes the yeast to be activated more and create a more sponge effect. It reduces the amount of flour used for the buns. I can chew through a Subway sandwich twice as fast as I do with a traditional hoagy bun. Some people like that, but nothing beats a traditional hoagy bun.
They're really worried about how Subway food transforms men into sex offenders.
Sugar is the reason why Americans are obese.
It’s a bigger drug than meth, coke, opiods...
American bread sucks in general. Too processed.
I was lucky enough to grow up with a family run Deli/Sandwich shop that sliced your deli meat to order, fresh veges, and bought their bread from another small local bakery daily. I have a hard time going into any chain sandwich shop after being that spoiled.
The local Subway here went out of business 3 years ago. Mold in the cooler was the reason given. It has since been re-opened by a Mom and Pop owned breakfast and lunch restaurant and doing rather well. That said, the local Blimpie’s just closed down after 2 years of absolutely awful products...
My wife pointed out that “Irish Soda Bread” is much sweeter than the rolls at Subway.
