Would you eat...

[TheMeInTeam]

I wouldn't intentionally order one that way, because I don't anticipate it being something I'd enjoy relative to alternatives.

But if offered a bite, I'd at least see what it's like. The consequences would be mildly unpleasant + an amusing story later at worst.

Well I never actually realized you could get more than one sauce on a subway sandwich

Come onnnnn

Would I eat Betty's cooking again?

If I had much choice in the matter, I probably wouldn't. Why, oh why, does she so overcook all her meat?

Still. It's very kind of her to feed me at all, I guess.

So I think the regular sandwiches from subway are pretty aweful, and this thing sounds like it could make me feel physically ill.

Perhaps you could try feeding some meat to her rawrare? She might develop a taste for it.

Subway's not really that bad but it's certainly the hipster-set's new object of scorn round these parts.

I don't know what you put in "that "

Yes, it is food you can eat, but I really didn't enjoy it at all.

Yeah. I did try that at the Ugly Pig (a restaurant that, incidentally, burnt to the ground the very next day after we'd been there), where I persuaded her to have what turned out to be some really nicely undone lamb fillet. To my surprise she ate it up and declared it very good. But she's a dab hand at this sort of thing (dissimulation), and it means nothing. Certainly, the next time I had lamb at her house it had been thoroughly cooked for well over three hours. (I mean, I don't mind cooking things slowly for a long time if they demand it in order to make them tender. But nice expensive cuts simply don't need it, and are far better without.)

Actually, come to think of it, she so overcooked a piece of very thin sirloin steak for herself that part of it really was inedible. I tried eating a piece which even she hadn't managed to swallow down. (That same day, btw, I cooked my own piece of sirloin at her house.) Oh. And to go with her "steak" she made up some packet beef gravy, and looked totally mystified when I deglazed the pan with water (for want of anything better).

She also never grills anything. So I was happily grilling a bit of trout the other day - at her house.

She's honestly very hospitable indeed, but the basic technique seems to be: take a nice piece of food and ruin it as comprehensively as possible. And then drown it in gravy.
