i never understood why they named the company after a New York City Transit line. That made no sense. And not terribly appetizing either.

Nothing like the smell of a subway in August.

The moral of the story: Buy chicken meat at the store, go home and cook it. You’ll know how clean the kitchen was, you will know what’s in it, you might have left-overs for lunch, and you’ll save a lot of money this year.

And if you do go out to lunch, consider a small family restaurant that gives a damn about what they do, and serving you well.

Soy and soy protein is a common allergen and I think must be disclosed, at least it is flagged on ingredients labels.

Something is not right with the story, and the company’s statements seem to be accurate. If they were selling something that was 50% soy it would be in their best interest to disclose that.

I retired from the Poultry Industry (Engineering not Production) and several of the plants I did projects at produced Subway product. The patty was a formed and charmarked product (from a Formax machine) but was all chicken. Believe it or not Poultry Companies don’t make money selling soy, they make money selling chicken! I have to label the “Lab Report” bogus fake news until proven otherwise!

Food companies should list each spice.


Or maybe one could eat at home. The world cannot accommodate everyone in the world.

I do not intend to be harsh. It is real for you. But we cannot build the world around you. But you can build your own world.

Been eating at the Scottish restaurant again?

30 years ago McDonalds on the west coast was using kangaroo meat for its hamburgers.

You can get kangaroo meat at Sprout's supermarkets. It apparently appeals to dieters because it's low in cholesterol, but it tastes like USDA "Good"-grade beef, the lowest grade available in supermarkets.

Having eaten at Subway Canada many times, i can confirm that the pseudo chicken is a rubbery and tasteless product that is full of salt. Subway knows that if you cover it with enough veggies, cheese and sauce nobody will really know the difference. What used to be a decent “steak and cheese” sandwich has already become inferior. Instead of actual slices of steak it looks like a mush “pulled beef” mess.

I can see a class action lawsuit being filed over this, which will do little for the consumer but wonders for lawyers. They’ll reach a settlement where Subway will agree to be more truthful in describing the “chicken” content, will agree to a time-limited price reduction on the chicken sandwiches, and where the class action lawyers will get millions in fees.

I like the Artisan chicken, but have to add a slathering of Miracle Whip. The chicken is clearly 100% just that. No need to be leery of crusts or additions while grinding.

Q:
Why did the chicken cross the road?

A:
So, it could bathe in a bath of estrogen laced soy and other natural and artificial ingredients.

“The sandwich chain refuted the results of the DNA test in a released statement...”

Another reporter who doesn’t know the meaning of “refuted.”

Go check out your tuna.. it’s probably mostly soy. There is only one or two tunas that are non-soy. I call the soy tuna Barbie tuna because it’s just nasty fillers.
