I for one think that this is excellent news. I'm just disappointed that I don't work in Accrington centre anymore. Coming home last night from Preston, I came through Blackburn and I noticed that there is a Subway that has appeared on Preston New Road.

When I still lived in Manchester, a Subway butty was a regular part of my diet, and is something I have missed. The range is fabulous. Something for everyone.

Sorry. Never spotted it before. Good to know now however that it is.

It's gonna struggle to compete with the "Up Market" butty van on the outside market;absolute quality food from there;continental chicken wrap a speciality which is great value and healthy too.

They will only microwave a sandwich if requested by a customer, mostly they are cold with a hot filling or the whole sandwich is toasted (which i.m.o. is much nicer)

I find it funny how ploppysirploppy can call someone 'petty' for calling her on a post, when she was involved in a relitavely huge argument in a thread with a few other members a couple of weeks ago. Lottery Dream? Or is that not considered petty?

morgan_brotherz · 16-08-2006, 23:13

Ive decided im going to call a truce. I cba arguing with you if were both going to be coming on this site. We wont get anywhere.

If its frozen quality has to be less than if it were freshly made, which its not.
Freshly defrosted part baked dough which is then freshly finished off baking in store does not constitute fresh in my opinion. It's all word play by these stores, not that it's going to kill you, but baked fresh just means that, it's been finished off in the oven god knows how many days after it was originally prepared and started to be baked.
It's like me putting a can of heinz soup on the stove and saying it's freshly cooked.

If that ain't proof that McDonalds just ain't any good for ya, I don't know what is

I tend to avoid all of these fast food places like the plague and doubt that I'll ever visit the local Subway. McDonalds is dire... My sister worked in one for several years whilst she was at Uni and became quite senior for a part timer. Some of the stories she used to tell about McD's would not surprise you.....yes they were clean, but that's about all. KFC is horrible and greasy and the last time I had a Sub (in New Zealand) it was fairly tasteless.

We have loads of independant local bakeries and butty shops, many of which do use fresh ingredients, bake their own breads, pies etc. In my opinion these places are far superior to the fast food chains both in quality and taste. The only problem with the chains is that they tend to advertise 'fresh' ingredients. Anyone with a couple of brain cells knows that there is a difference between fresh (made from scratch on the day) and fresh frozen (made a couple of weeks ago and heated or baked when required). The 'fresh' referred to by the chains is generally 'fresh frozen.' This also applies to pub chains eg Brewers Fayre where all of the meals are delivered frozen to the pubs then microwaved as they're ordered.

Give me a tasty independant establishment anyday.... they win hands down in my opinion. I love and appreciate good food and find it difficult to believe that millions of supposedly sensible people have been conned into thinking that fast food chains are actually good..
