Subway Tuna Sandwich

Meh, it's a fast food chain with an advertising budget

It ain't fast. It also ain't food. But it has advertising.
 
Bacon bits aren't made out of bacon: Instead, the crunchy red flakes are made of soy flour and canola oil with some added colors and bacon flavoring tossed in.:eek:
 
May contain no tuna?:eek:

McDonald's McRib sandwich is not made of rib meat either. I guess it is "trimmings".
Whatever that means.:eek:

Trim is exactly what it sounds like, it's the stuff trimmed off more established cuts of beef. It's graded by fat content. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Most butchers buy 95VL to make mince for burgers. 98VL is normally sold as steak pieces.

Seems to depend on which individual store. (In some of them, no fish was found, at all.)

No tuna DNA found.

Not surprising, considering how much the price for food in the US has shot up.

(There is vegetarian imitation tuna sold in grocery markets.)
 
There's worse fast food out there. Still, I wouldn't order tuna from subway. Just, no.
 
If you heat treat DNA...it denatures and no PCR will ever work. Try it with any meat.

Edit: Stupid people will believe anything before they look at the actual science...and even then they won't believe the truth. It is tuna.

We've come a long way since The Jungle was first published.

"The meat would be shoveled into carts, and the man who did the shoveling would not trouble to lift out a rat even when he saw one—there were things that went into the sausage in comparison with which a poisoned rat was a tidbit. There was no place for the men to wash their hands before they ate their dinner, and so they made a practice of washing them in the water that was to be ladled into the sausage. There were the butt-ends of smoked meat, and the scraps of corned beef, and all the odds and ends of the waste of the plants, that would be dumped into old barrels in the cellar and left there. Under the system of rigid economy which the packers enforced, there were some jobs that it only paid to do once in a long time, and among these was the cleaning out of the waste barrels. Every spring they did it; and in the barrels would be dirt and rust and old nails and stale water—and cartload after cartload of it would be taken up and dumped into the hoppers with fresh meat, and sent out to the public’s breakfast."

Oh Dribble, that is what the article says. It's called conversation. I now know that I need to get an invitation to jaFO's because I want real bacon bits. How many times will Sean discuss what trimmings are?:D

I draw my line at rats.:eek: 3 of my grandparents came over from Belgium. This has nothing to do with how bad your account is about meat. Just about different food. At every holiday at one of my Grandmothers we had head cheese and blood sausage. I never had a taste for them even before I knew what they were. I just remember them making head cheese in the basement, which I found out was all the left over peices from a pigs head. Blood sausage - I never liked the texture. It was the clotted blood. Everyone else loved them.:confused:
 
What is so bad about the fish that Subway uses, that they have to
cook it to death, until it is no longer recognised as fish ?

I was never a fan of Kishka.
 
Subway is skidmark food: available in drive-thrus everywhere, with the smallest improvement possible over a stale sandwich in a vending machine.

More and more as his arteries harden.

Edited to add: I've never trusted Subway.

A submarine sandwich is generally full of empty calories, salt, fat and additives.

The irony is Subway was founded by a Medical Student looking for a way to pay for med school.

so it could be Tuna friendly Dolphin?

Something about the smell of Subway turns me off. I can’t do it
stale urine never makes me hungry either.
 
What do you expect from a company the chose Jared Fogel for a spokesperson? :)

I do my bacon differently. Cook slices in the oven (as god intended) until crisp, then crumble said crisp bacon into a bowl and transfer to a bag for easy storage and access. I store mine in the fridge, but you do you!
