Would you eat...

[Timsup2nothin]

So I'm at the Subway (I know, better sandwich chains available to everyone in the free world but me) getting a sandwich. In front of me in the line is a mom and kid; I'm guessing seven or eight. Mom lets the kid tell the sandwich maker what he wants for himself.

Things progress pretty normal until the end. Keep in mind that Subway has mustard, brown mustard, and honey mustard; mayo and ranch; sweet onion teriyaki sauce...I'm leaving out at least a full handful here...

And the kid gets them ALL. He's up on his toes, peering through the glass, reading them off one after another; and the sandwich maker is dutifully splooging them onto the sandwich, which has pretty much disappeared.

Part of me is saying "never knock what you haven't tried," but honestly I just can't bring myself to consider it.

Haha! When I was a kid some friends and I went through a phase of loading up school dinners with every avsilable condiment - salt, pepper, vinegar, ketchup & brown sauce.

Then the kid took another hit of his joint and passed out

Perhaps as a result of my privileged upbringing I never ate strange things when I was high. Abundant Doritos always seemed to be available. And huge pots of Kraft Mac and Cheese made with reduced quantity of milk to make it absolutely florescent orange. But nothing strange.

Ugh, you should max out at two sauces. That's it.

I might eat all of that, if I were seven.

How many made what some people called suicides? Go to the self serve drink station and pour a little bit of everything into one cup. How many of us didn't do that, or similar, as children?

I wouldn't eat it because, to begin with, I wouldn't eat at Subway, and also, eww.

I did but my preferred food motivation as a kid was nothing gross and make sure it's not touching other foods.

I saw a machine dedicated to this very purpose in a movie theatre while in Seattle a few months ago. It was a truly wonderful experience and I hate that I haven't seen it anywhere in Canada.

I tried that...once. It was horrible!

The most I did after that was a blend of Coke & Diet Coke.

Honey mustard on my chicken, nada mas.

I tend not to get sauces and dressings or at least keep them to a minimum. The tend to be the "killer app" that one should do without.

I actually never even tried it. I do however drink 2/3 strawberry or orange soda with 1/3 sprite when it is available at the soda fountain.

Of course honey mustard is two sauces.

Some people are just like that. There is nothing to do but stare and wonder.

I've seen a dude take a plate of bourbon chicken (which, to the uninitiated, is basically chicken bits in a brown
fructose sauce... but okay, it's delicious too), walk over to the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL, and use a spoon to
completely cover his already-soaked-in-f****ing-sugary-solution chicken pieces in milk chocolate. Ol' Deputy Sweeto
was there for this one, but didn't say anything because, well, what the guy was doing wasn't unsanitary or harming
the fountain or anything, it was just, you know, gross beyond belief at the cellular level. As he walked away
Deputy Sweeto caught me staring. We locked eyes across the restaurant, shared a brief look of "What have we seen?
Others have not...", and then went about our normal business, strangers connected by a shared glimpse into the
Maw of Chicken Madness.

1) Mom should have stopped her own kid
2) I think 2 sauces max, on a subway with all the salads.
3) Probably taste like mush if you added all the sauces, waste of a good sandwich

If it were two sauces, I'd be able to scape one off and leave the other. You are just plain wrong.

It was Subway, calling it a good sandwich is a bit of a stretch regardless of how the kid ruined it.

 

[ParkCungHee]

When you're a kid, complex taste processing hasn't really kicked in yet.

Kid did not ruin the sandwich, mother was right to let him do it.

Why?

Not that I'm opposed to authoritarian parenting in general, I just always subscribe to the "save the bullets for when they matter" theory.

Here in Sydney we dont have any kind of good sandwich culture that the US has. The only sandwich options where I work are Subway or Vietnamese pork roll or Donna kebab. And $7aud for a footlong is a good value for two quick meals.
