The Weirdest Subway Sandwich Combinations: From Unpalatable to Mind-Bending
Subway, known for its customizable sandwiches and consistent flavors, can sometimes take us down some strange and delightful paths. From the mundane Sweet Curry Chicken to the bizarre Double Meatball Marinara, there's a whole universe of sandwich combinations waiting to be discovered—or better yet, discovered and abandoned. In this article, we will explore some of the weirdest and most unpalatable Subway sandwich creations, shared by insiders and regular customers alike.
Unpalatable Delights: Customer Orders Gone Wrong
As a longtime Subway employee, I have seen more strange combinations than one person should experience. One of the oddest was the White Bread Teriyaki Chicken. Imagine a sandwich made with a type of bread so stale that it threatens to crumble in your hands. The teriyaki chicken, already a questionable choice, was served on this beast of a bread, accompanied by no cheese, no salads, and no sauces whatsoever. The result was a burnt, hard crust that was barely a tolerable sandwich. It’s no wonder that the customer had to struggle to even close it.
Another memorable combination was the Hotdogs. I was intrigued to see a sign for microwaved hotdogs on homemade bread. But when the customer received it, they received a disappointment. The hotdogs, served on split grocery store buns, were not only microwave warmed but also extraordinarily stale. The customer had to hold their hotdogs together just to keep the mustardy sausage from falling apart. It's a lesson in what not to order when hunger pangs strike.
Customer Sandwich Creation: A Feast of Oddities
Perhaps the most outlandish sandwich I've witnessed involved a customer who was pregnant. Their creation was a footlong sandwich containing a bowl of tuna salad, three slices of bacon, nine pickles, and an ambitious selection of cookies—oatmeal raisin and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies were spread ingeniously across the sandwich. To top it off, they included six bags of jalapeno chips, which added a zesty crunch to the mix. This sandwich was nothing short of a gourmet salad with a sandwich shell, and only time will tell if this type of meal was effective in clinging to the pregnancy.
Mind-Bending Sandwiches: A Prodigy of Creativity
Then there is the Double Meatball Marinara with Italian Herb and triple toasted, accompanied by an excessive amount of mayo, chipotle ranch, and Parmesan cheese. The sheer visual chaos of this sandwich boggles the mind. The intense amounts of cheese and sauces invite a cascade of toppings that fall off, making it challenging to even enjoy a bite. And if it seems too chaotic, there's always the option of adding Sweet Onion Sauce, which might just push the culinary boundary too far for some palettes.
Although I’ve never tried this sandwich, I have ordered it multiple times, purely for the amusement of watching the Subway Sandwich artist's reaction when I place an order. It’s a peculiar combination of a 12-inch Meatball Marinara on Italian Herb bread, toasted, with shredded cheese, extra pickles, and onions. The customer insists that it's the greatest sandwich they’ve ever had, but the only thing missing is tuna. It's a perplexing question to ponder over the next meal you take at Subway.
These bizarre sandwich combinations demonstrate that even the most popular sandwich chain isn't immune to creative chaos. While these combinations may be unpalatable or mind-bending, they certainly provide a fun and thought-provoking dining experience. So, the next time you’re craving a Subway sandwich, consider venturing into the uncharted territory of unorthodox combinations and see where your taste buds take you.
