Chicken Parmesan

Subway has this 'new' Chicken Parmesan sandwich that they are pushing, and after ordering it twice I've come to the conclusion that it sucks.



The problem is that Subway has this new toasting oven thing that they use to toast your sandwich with. It must pack some punch, as they stick the sandwich in for 20 seconds and out comes the 'toasted' sandwich. And it's pretty good with some of the other sandwiches. But with the Chicken Parmesan, they seem to use it to toast the roll, but also to heat the chicken pieces that they put on the roll. Which means 'heating' it for a lot longer. The result; the bread roll seems to get thinner and tougher.

The first time I tired it, I thought maybe it was the sauce that was the problem; maybe if they added that after the heating it would be better. But after the second sandwich I've come to the conclusion that it's the over-heating of the roll that is the problem. If the chicken was already warm, or they microwaved it first, then they wouldn't have to heat the roll so long.

That's my thought; but it would make the production of the sandwich more complicated, so they probably wouldn't want to do it. I thought about writing to Subway; but what's the point....hmm...maybe they'll send me a gift certificate or something?

Oh, and watch out for that sauce. It can be damn hot. Dave burned his finger badly on it the other day...
