    Bullshit. Making a sandwich doesn't count as Cooking.
    In my opinion, if you toast it, it does.



  • Make a sammich.

    Put in microwave.

    HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM *ding*

    Then throw away the pappy shit that's the result.



  • Microwave it to get the innards hot, then toast or fry it to get the outer bits crispy.

    Yum.

    You people have yet to apparently discover the joys of a sealing sandwich toaster, which will make the innards all nice and warm and, if you have cheese in your sandwich, melty.

    I have seen those before! They look very awesome, but I am concerned about the size and cleanup. (Mostly the size.) Can it handle sandwiches with 1-2 vertical inches of alternating meat/cheese/onion layers? They'd be pretty amazing with PBJs, I bet.



  • An inch is pushing it, at most I'd use about half that. Too much filling and it either spills out the front when you close it or the cheese oozes out the sides while it's cooking.

    I've never tried PBJ's, or anything sweet in mine. Hmm, sounds interesting.

    What's a "sealed sandwich toaster?" You mean a panini grill? I have one of those in my kitchen.

    Edit: One of these:

    Since terminology might be different in different places. Here, I've only heard it called a panini grill.


  • Discourse touched me in a no-no place

    A "sealed sandwich toaster" is, strangely enough, a toaster that produces sealed sandwiches.:










    My impression of panini grills is that they do not seal anything:

    Fair enough. Never heard of that before. But it makes tiny sandwiches! Can you buy a Scooby Doo-sized one?

    I have one as well, they are awesome, if you are into sandwiches you need one



  • I've always just wrapped it in tin foil and baked it for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Works beautifully for tuna melts.



  • I've a Breville (the doyenne of toastie makers).

    They were  a staple of  (UK) student life - you can fill them with pretty much anything - baked beans were a favourite when I was a student.I've no idea what the modern Student eats.

    Personally I favour  decent cheese (mature cheedar or similar) and Branston pickle - sandwich version for preferance. The trick is to butter the outside of the bread so it goes golden and you can get the inside hotter and the cheese becomes practically molten.With seeded bread its a fabulous snack.

     



  •  They're designed for packaged bread, but there are more robust versions that will deal with bigger/thicker slices. 

    TBH they seem to be weirdly british (along with the teasmade and queuing  for everything ) - we do seem to love our bread based foods .

    Subway Australia

    The Subway New Zealand page looks OK and we can order online. They do appear to get page resources from a web service (I think, links reference a .axd file) using a rediculously long, resource IDs. Aside from that there's not too much ugly in there, the resources are organised into a decent directory structure, there's CSS, no tables and no evidence of frontpage so far as I could see.

    I'm not a web dev, so it's quite possible I'm missing something obviously evil

    They have a store in Upper Hutt. Jabba the Hutt tried to kill Luke Skywalker, and later Han Solo and Chewbacca.

    Evil enough for you!?



  • @blakeyrat said:

    Not really. Killing an isolated group of people is a decent step forward in terms of evil, but I think the perpetrator here missed an excellent opportunity to expand upon the foundations laid. All it would have taken was a couple of quick flicks of a light saber and the remains of the oters could be fashioned to look like legitimate subway toppings (meatballs perhaps) which would then be consumed, making hundreds of people into unwitting cannibals

    I definitely agree with this.  Buttering the outside of the bread makes all the difference.

    On a random note, the Subway Australia page looks a damn lot better.

    I tried the German site and on first glance, it didn't look half bad.

     

    The Germans also run their site on Apache but every other Subway site appears to be on Microsoft IIS, which is interesting. (I didn't check every single one though)

    Also on the International Locations page, if a page links to something.subway.com you know it's not going to be a real site, for example the Mexico one. Just a redirector to frmMagePage.aspx with generic-looking text. Found an exception: Singapore: it's a redirector to www.subway.com.sg.

    Not really, Belgium, The Netherlands and France have them as well: Croque Monsieur, Tosti (Netherlands)

    No. No it is not.

    Yes it is. The Germans have gone against Corporate!
