So I ordered a ‘Veggie Delite’ sandwich with just lettuce and they just charged me $2, how nice!) And know what? It was still delish. Thankfully, I didn’t have to choose either of those options because they put all the fresh warm ones into the bin as I was anxiously debating.Īnd THEN, after all that hullaballoo about the Dutch Crunch rolls, I FORGOT one when I packed my lunch for work this past weekend and was so desperate for a worthy roll on which to put my crab salad, that I went to the nearest Subway and begged them to sell me the Italian Herbs and Cheese bread, just the bread.

Please tell me I’m not alone in this. I’m just excited because I finally have something I can do with CELERY. But I’m gonna stick to what I know, and for the sake of ease, buy the packaged stuff. How’s that for gourmet? I’m sure you could make it with real crab, in fact, it’d probably improve an already amazing thing.
