Subway.... or Quiznos?

There was a programme on the British telly not long ago, they compared fat, salt, etc content in the sandwiches from the major retailers.

The worst sandwich based on the salt content was Subway, almost all their sandwiches pack way above the recommended amount. I was really surprised with the outcome of the research, I always thought the fresh ingredients used would make the sandwiches rather healthy.

I think all fast-food retailers should have a clearly visible chart of fat and salt content inside the shops. Currently, such information is only available through their websites.

PS: I don't mean to scare you. Since watching the programme, I have been in Subway and I have bought my favourite sandwich

Yep, I think most Mexican food is from Mexico - or maybe all of it is!
"Dude, no way!"
... "Way!"

The basic concept may be Mexican but the "Mexican food" you see in restaurants isn't very close to what you see in Mexico. Its pretty hard to find an authentic Mexican restaurant outside of Southern Texas & Southern California. Its all Americanized like Italian....Don't you agree, patagonia?

El Chico...On the Boarder and Taco Bueno is crap. If they don't serve Capirotada & Pork Chile it aint real restaurant :devil: ...the Mexican makes damn good food altho its too much pork IMO.

true Cassin, most of what you find are Mexican (inspired) fast food type restaurants..... they try to adapt to general consumer tastes.... but quiet often end up offering a product that has nothing to do with the original thing... basically if your taco has cheddar cheese in it... its not the real deal.....
