[Food] Have It Your Way

[El Sid]

I was in Dover this morning and thought I'd nip in to a garage based Subway and get myself some brekkie.
I asked the Polish/Lithuanin/Chech young lady for a sausage and bacon sub and a coffee. I was politely informed that I could have a bacon sub or a sausage sub but they did not serve a combined bacon and sausage sub. I could have a bacon and egg sub or a sausage and egg sub but not my preferred option.
Looking up above the counter it dawned on me that there was not a picture/option for a bacon and sausage sub but undeterred I reminded the nice young lady that I thought I could have a sub "My way". She then said she didn't have any sausages. I gave up and decided to get a cheese and onion sarnie from the next door garage and when I got back in the car I put on my Frank Sinatra CD.

Anyway - which is worse - Dover or Hastings?

I went into a local branch and asked for a nuclear sub. Seemingly they don't do those either. Poor.

You fool,you could have pulled.....No sausage

 

[gregbrighton]

I didn't want a sodding egg, melt!

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

I didn't want a sodding egg, melt!

Then I suggest you should of asked for a Megamelt without an egg please.

We were driving from Brighton to Norfolk last month and unknowingly missed our turning on the M25, kept seeing signs for Rye and Hastings, but thought nothing of it, only on seeing the white cliffs of Dover at the very end of the M20...at which point we should have roughly been arriving in Norwich...did the penny drop.

So that would be a Megamelt "My Way". So why can't I order a bacon roll "My Way" with a sausage?

No, but I bet you wanted their reformed meat filling and sugar-laden bread though! Cheeky!

What has the nationality of the person serving got to do with your post ?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Pretty sure that's Burger King's slogan

Subway's is 'Eat Fresh', which is also a blatant lie.

Because...

She then said she didn't have any sausages.

Which bit of that didn't you understand?

Technically when my request for a bacon and sausage sub was made I had not been made aware of the unavailability of the said pig-brain filled intestines. The young lady clearly informed me bacon and sausage was not an option on the menu. And I'm convinced she then told me there were no sausages so that she would not have to break the rules by placing bacon and sausage alone together in the same sub.

It's bad enough that a simple request for a sandwich is now subject to a set of rules dreamt up by the marketing division of a multinational corporation. But, worse than that ... why is it necessary to learn a new version of the English language?

What the hell does "Megamelt" mean?

Dover of course, it's not in Sussex.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Why would you have sausage in a bacon sandwich/roll?

 

[El Sid]

Why would you have sausage in a bacon sandwich/roll?

Because it's the sort of thing one might order in an establishment that sells bacon, suasages and bread.

I'm going back there on Wednesday. I'm going to order a bacon sub and a sausage sub and then put the bacon in the sausage sub and ask for some marmite to put in the empty sub.

Disappointed there is no photo of the Polish/Lithuanin/Chech young lady
