Every time I see someone orders (or when I order myself) food from a sub sandwiches restaurant I feel that the customer is in a quick English quiz where they stand in the front of the person preparing the sandwich and reciting the names of vegetables in English (tomatoes, cucumber, pickles, olives, etc...) , I think many people (and sometimes I'm one of them) are actually worried about the correct pronunciation of the topping's name in case of someone behind them in the line hears. There is another type of people who just make it extremely simple... they just say "everything".
I have always wondered why they call this kind of sandwiches "Subs" or "Submarines", according on what I understood from this Wikipedia article, the name mainly came from the shape of the sandwich which is similar to a submarine. The article also mentions some other probable reasons.
An interesting information that I found in this Wikipedia article, says that first Subway opened outside of North America was opened in Bahrain in December 1984.

I face that quite often! You know, some Subway branches have a poster of all types of vegetables with their names on their refrigerator just so you know what to say when you're lining up.. so yeah, that's definitely an issue right there.
ReplyDeleteI think another "unspoken" issue is the names of the sauces :)
DeleteHahaha, true..
DeleteHahaha you are right. "Everything" is the magic word that work every where and all the time ��
