Toast, a generous schmear of marmite all topped with a tablespoon of raspberry jam.
Of course when I mention this I am often accused of blasphemy.

Wendys has a new chicken salad sandwich on some kind of crusty roll/bread thing - to my surprise, it was really good.

lol reminds me of what we say to kids who are too chicken to try something...

"Good! More for me!"

Actually it was terrific bread - far better than anything subway has, and just nice simple chicken salad. Of course, you'd have to actually like chicken salad...

I don't know...outside of Highbury is a man of questionable hygiene selling 'meat patties' from the back of a very shabby trailer before each match. It has a taste somewhat like congealed diarrhea, though that is just an untested comparison. But the horror of eating that 'hamburger' haunts me to this day...

Weeeellllll...........if its not chains we're comparing, then the Chinese "restaurant" in the Edmonton Airport should be shut down, burned and the owner brought up on charges of crimes against humanity..........

That pile of indescribable horror was the only thing between myself and collapsing from hunger and exhaustion........on reflection, a ride in an ambulance might have been safer........at least I could have eaten the blanket.

I wonder if that was the one that was just closed--I read about something in Edinburgh being shut for crimes against cuisine. Might have been a Chinese grocery.

the thing with subway, it's all very healthy until you actually stick anything in the sarnie, any of those dressings, cheese or meats kill it completely...

Ooo yeah I forgot about Chick fil A. They are very good. Don't have one up here near me but went a few times in VA. I like that they don't entice/ ensnare the kids with all the toys like McDs but have more educational stuff instead.
