My Unforgettable Subway Experiences: A Journey Through Favorite Sandwiches

My Unforgettable Subway Experiences: A Journey Through Favorite Sandwiches

Subway, with its vast array of customizable sandwiches, holds a special place in my heart. Over the years, I have managed to rotate my orders, trying different combinations and flavors. Let's take a look at my journey through this beloved chain, from the classic Seafood sandwich to the modern favorites.

The Creation of My Favorites

Subway has been a frequent spot for me, and I usually land on two favorites that I alternate between visits. My first go-to is the Subway Club toasted with lettuce, mayo, and sweet onion sauce. The second favorite is the Meatball Marinara toasted, which comes with just cheese and a bit more sauce. While I love these creations, there is something extra special about adding a garlic bread to them. These combinations have been a staple since the mid-80s, but there is one regret: the Seafood sandwich, which they don't sell anymore.

Classic Comfort in a Foot Long Sandwich

One of my classic favorites is the tuna sandwich on Italian bread, which I usually order as a foot long. With extra spinach, onion, green peppers, and hot peppers, I sometimes add cucumbers. I often skip the mayonnaise and instead add a stripe of heavy black pepper to give it a richer taste. To balance the meal, I will sometimes order a large milk and an oatmeal raisin cookie, even though nutritionally it is higher in fat and sugar. On cheat days, this is a perfect indulgence. On other days, I opt for a six-inch roast beef sandwich with double meat and no sauce, along with a milk, which provides a much better nutrient balance with a high protein content.

My Asian Experience with Subway

When I lived in Asia, Subway became the go-to spot for a decent sandwich. The bread, in particular, was of a much higher quality. A classic sandwich sufficed, but outside of Asia, the Meatball Marinara is my personal favorite. It offers a more consistent quality and taste than what I can usually make at home. Returning to classic ingredients, I can often save money and still enjoy high-quality bread.

The Unforgettable Return to a Classic

Despite the discontinuation of the BBQ beef sandwich, I hold a special place in my heart for the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. This sandwich has been a constant in my rotation since it first appeared. Another favorite is the turkey chopped salad with lettuce, tomato, bell peppers, olives, banana peppers, shredded cheese, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, topped with parmesan cheese. This salad is a great way to enjoy Subway's fresh ingredients.

Exploring the Flavorful Wraps

Among the many wrap options, roast beef is my absolute favorite, especially when I want some variation from my usual beef at home. While I typically skip the lettuce, I ask for tomatoes, spinach, pepperoncini, and black olives. Mayo or a special sauce, such as chipotle mayo, can be requested, but I usually avoid other wet condiments. Sometimes, I opt for double meat to increase my protein intake. Additionally, I savor their Italian herb cheese bread, which is often a substitute for a wrap on a flatbread base. I will also enjoy turkey instead of roast beef when in the mood.

Conclusion

Subway has been a cherished part of my dining journey, offering a wide range of customizable options to suit my taste preferences. From the nostalgic tuna sandwich to the delicious turkey chopped salad, and the beloved Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki, each sandwich has a special place in my heart. Despite not frequenting Subway as often as in the past, I have fond memories of these experiences and look forward to returning to enjoy these delightful creations in the future.
