Subway Sandwiches

They're so tasty!

They've exploded into London now - everywhere you go you see the stalls - I have no problems with this coz it means I no longer have to drag my butt all the way to Tottenham Court Road and sneak into easyInternetCafe to get my Subway Melt fix. There's one practically next to my office! :)

I'm not sure about this newfangled toasting thing though - I don't think plastic cheese takes to being toasted very well and Hearty Italian bread goes very crumbly and gets everywhere. But I'm a person incapable of eating chocolate without melting at least a little bit into my jeans, so I'm sure you normal people can cope fine.

Anyway, the whole point of this post was to point you in the direction of this insider Q&A on Subway (so tasty!) I had no idea the bread-slicing technique was so involved. Check out Randy Walker's (former Sandwich Artist apparently) comment a few comments down

"The current method is called the "Hinge-Cut" because the bread hinges open. The bread is supposed to be cut down at a 45 degree angle from the top corner almost all the way through to the opposite corner. If the bread's flatter than it's supposed to be, the cut is almost always wrong (more acute angle, usually). If somebody cut the bread wrong, then they usually have problems closing the sandwich."

The amount of stuff they put in there, I didn't know it was supposed to be possible to close the sandwich.
