Who Are You People And What Are You Putting On My Sandwich?

Seil · 04-01-2009, 07:58 PM

Alternate Thread Title: We need a food section.

So I'm in town today, and I haven't really had anything to eat, so I'm like "I could go for a sandwich." So I go into this coffee shop that's relatively nice - I only really go there because a friend of mine works there, or at least used to work there - and I ask for a BLT.

Now, when you order the BLT, you assume that three things are going to be on the sandwich: bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. That's it. That's all I want. Maybe I'll spring for some mustard - that's always nice. What I don't expect to be on my sandwich is butter, or mayonaise, or cheese, or anything else of that nature. Mayonaise is absolutely disgusting. It's gross. Butter I do put on bread, but that's just toast. That's not a sandwich. And where do you get off putting cheese on a BLT? Is it a BLTC? No! It's a BLT.

I just don't understand it. Why put this crap on the sandwich without clearing it with me first? And usually, it's crap anyway - like that Honey Mustard stuff. It's not honey. It's not mustard. It's ass. I don't want that anywhere near what I'm eating - but they assume it's what you want.

I like bagels - they're good breakfast breads, and great to snack on throughout the day. However, I just want the bagel - maybe a little butter. Why, when I order a bagel, are people asking me "What flavor of cream cheese do you want with that?" I don't want cream cheese, I want the bagel. If I wanted cream cheese, I'd say "Could I have a bagel? And could you put some cream cheese on that?" But I didn't. They just put it on there. It's like ass squared smeared on my toasted bagel goodness.

Cream cheese. Mayonaise. Cheese Whiz. Honey Mustard. To some extent, butter. Keep this crap off my food. Why put it there in the first place? Is it too hard to say "Hey, do you want some gross shit spread all over the sandwich?" Is that too hard to ask? I've worked in the service industry - both fast food places and otherwise - and I have to say that no, it's not too hard. Yes, you do tend to get bogged down in the list of options, but it's not time consuming. Instead of asking people six million different things about their sandwich/food order, just say "What would you like us to put on your sandwich?" Easy as that.

Oh, and comic:

Overall I'm a fan of both mayo and cream cheese. And I put both mayo and cheese on BLT's. That being said I can completely relate to what you're saying. I was at Subway about a week ago and I ordered a BLT. Do they just put Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato on the sandwich? Of course not! Not only do they put mayo and cheese, they also put green peppers (on a sadwich, wtf?), something that was not quite honey mustard, not quite mayo, I don't really know what it was but it didn't taste good at all. Suffice to say that that was the last time I'm ordering a BLT at Subway.

(I also support the idea that a food section would be super nifty)

Let me run this by you all... why do we still use Lettuce so much? It taste like nothing... the "crunch" factor can be beaten by other options (tasty options!) like baby spinach...

so, what's up with this lettuce business?

Seil · 04-01-2009, 08:31 PM

Baby spinach tastes nearly the exact same as lettuce, but lettuce is better!

Kerensky287 · 04-01-2009, 08:36 PM

Lettuce is healthy, that's why. Same reason people eat whole wheat bread, despite the fact that white bread is so much more delicious.

You guys have it totally backwards. Lettuce is little more than water in a cell wall in most cases, unless you luck out and get the tips, which are rarely used in shredded because they wilt faster.

Baby spinach actually has a flavor and is MUCH healthier than lettuce because it actually qualifies as dark, leafy greens.

What lettuce is is cheap.

Lies! Whole Weat/Multi grain tastes awesome. White bread tastes like... nothing. White Bread is just there to keep your sandwich from falling apart!

And to re-rail this thread, Mayonaise, Cream Cheese and Honey Mustard are gross and shouldn't be eaten at all.

Bells · 04-01-2009, 10:12 PM

Olive and Garlic flavored Mayo can be great! Don't you be a hater you hater...

Cream cheese... well... i really like it. But i prefer it on light snacks. Like, just have a layer of Cream Cheese with a slice or two of Ham with some tomatoes. That's good stuff! Honey mustard on the other hand, i can live without...

But there shall be no argument that Baby spinach is the superior leaf!

What kind of Subway did you go to? I've never been to a Subway before where it wasn't a sandwich bar and you got to tell them exactly what you want on your sandwich. Only the meat is always the same when you order. You can get a bacon chicken ranch with no ranch, or a BLT with no tomatoes... I'm just fully confused by this.

While I don't share your fervor, I can only tolerate Mayo in very small amounts. The grotesque amounts that I scrap off anything I ever buy from fast food outlets is probably what has kept me thin.

On that note, don't be dissin' cheese, boy. If you get Cheese on your sandwich you goddamn enjoy it.
