I pretty much only eat sandwiches from Jimmy John's & their meat comes out of tubs or something, but I only get veggie sandwiches.
But maybe the thing that threw me the most about living in London was how there are basically no deli/Subway/Panera anythings. (I think they had just gotten like one Subway and it was a big deal.) Instead everyone there is all about totally pre-made sandwiches, like the kind we get at gas stations, except in England they were actually totally delicious and awesome. Same seemed to be true in Japan (though sandwiches as a whole there were less popular I think). But there were a lot of kebab places that would shave meat off a big meat on a stick. (I'm not good at meat vocab.)
While I'm talking about international sandwiches let me add that in the DR rather than using the Spanish word "bocadillo" Domicans called a sandwich "un sanWEESH" and also Domican sandwiches were, generally speaking, terrible.
Also I used to work at Subway and one time I near-mortally wounded myself cutting tomatoes & if they had expected me to slice meat I would probably be dead now.
OK I GUESS I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS ABOUT SANDWICHES.
PS it just occurred to me to check if you guys have Jimmy John's on the East Coast & it looks like mostly no? It's like a slightly fancier, much better (IMO) Subway basically. MUCH BETTER and also they are always so fast I swear they have time traveling robot employees or something. Also on their website it says they "slice everything fresh everyday in this store, right here where you can see it" but I maybe never noticed b/c I only get veggie sandwiches?)
Jimmy John's is my go-to sub place (b/c Subway is mostly gross) and I always get the veggie, too. How do they make that avocado sauce? HOW? It is delicious.
I've never noticed whether or not they slice things up all fresh, it's just there.
I, uh, am pretty much the only vegetarian who doesn't like avocado? So my sandwiches there are just cheese, mustard, and veggies and they are still insanely delicious. I'm pretty sure their bread is laced with something addictive, like flour probably? It's crazy.
YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS OF UNCRUSTABLES. YOU ARE INTIMIDATED BY HOW AWESOME THEY ARE. I UNDERSTAND.
Yeah oh my god, did you have that fucking monster tomato slicer thing at Subway? That was like a whale's mouth except instead of baleen it's BLADES WITH VARYING DEGREES OF DULLNESS? I hated that thing, but not as much as I hated having to have any kind of interaction with the mystery seafood mix paste.
SMASH UNCRUSTABLES. Uncrustables are made with the byproducts of fracking. Mark Ruffalo told me. In a vision.
YES and what actually happened was I went to do the dishes & I innocently reached into the sink and STUCK MY HAND RIGHT IN THE TOMATO SLICING WHALE'S MOUTH (that is the perfect image for it)
And yes, the tuna salad was fucking disgusting. I mean I already think tuna salad is disgusting, but a giant vat of it from god knows where... *shudder*
