When I get a sub from Subway, I usually have a tuna sub. Subway's tuna is delicious. I add lettuce, black olives, and mustard to my tuna sub.

Sounds like a good combo but I'd replace the mustard with mayo.

Same here. Mustard does not belong with tuna. Mayo belongs with tuna.

It's always weird how different countries value tuna at Subway, in Finland it's premium sub, in Sweden, Germany and UK it's a regular and in the US at least here in Miami/Orlando you can get a 6" for $4 as a promo item.

I've been given mustard on a tuna sub before, possibly at Firehouse, when I wasn't paying attention.

Mayo on a tuna salad sub is redundant. There's already plenty in the tuna salad.

I'd agree that yellow mustard doesn't belong with tuna, but I recently had one with honey mustard that was pretty tasty.

I've tried Subway, twice, in the UK. Utterly horrible. Tasted nothing even close to a US subway--Ugh.

Cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, black olives, onions, sweet peppers, oil, vinegar, oregano and pepper grace my tuna sub.

It isn't redundant. It adds a little extra touch.

Firehouse is the nastiest sub place ever. I got a free coupon for a medium sub in the mail and used it and the sub was literally the driest thing ever.

Same with me - I have never gone back.

Apologize to Your Kidneys' Day

I had an ok subway sandwich in Osaka. It was shrimp and avocado, IIRC.

I don't recall minding subway every now and then many years ago, before I noticed that awful smell ominpresent at US locations.

The only thing I smell is their bread baking. It doesn't seem awful to me. Unfortunately, the taste doesn't live up to the promise of the aroma.

I'll go to Subway in a pinch, because I know what to expect, but I've never liked their bread. It's like old-style super-soft tasteless white Wonderbread.

The veggies are always fresh, though.

I can't find the clip, but Jim Gaffigan likens Subways to standing in a humid room filled with dirty, sweaty towels.
