‘I attempted Subway’s new final Christmas menu and one merchandise jogged my memory of dwelling’
EXCLUSIVE: Subway’s new festive menu has landed, and as a self-confessed sandwich enthusiast who usually sticks to my trusty chicken sub, I took on their Christmas creations
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me, one festive sammich, one wrap with turkey, and two very festive cookies. Because, what do you mean, I get to test Subway’s ultimate taste of Christmas with its new festive menu?
Listen, I’m nothing if not a big Subway enthusiast, so when I was presented with its new menu to test out, I could not have been happier. I’m somewhat a person of habit, and I always end up ordering the same thing (a six inch chicken breast sandwich with the Italian Herbs & Cheese bread, toasted, including American-style cheese, lettuce, peppers, jalapeños, red onions, and X-spicy Chipotle Southwest sauce, and I always treat myself with white chocolate chip cookies!)
Nevertheless, I’m also someone who enjoys trying new foods, and these new Subway items are definitely outside my usual order routine. So Daily Star readers, brace yourself for a very raw and honest review of the beloved sandwich chain’s new seasonal items.
Starting off with the Ultimate Festive Sub
The festive sub comes with rotisserie style chicken, bacon, sage and onion stuffing, American style cheese and rich cranberry sauce. This sub is also available as a Spud, meaning you can enjoy all the trimmings on a fluffy jacket potato.
However, I enjoyed it as a classic sandwich. I’m not sure what the Brits eat for Christmas, but I’m assuming its filling is what a British Christmas should taste like.
I wasn’t too sure about mixing chicken and bacon, but in my opinion, it paired very nicely with the sage and stuffing. I have spent nearly all of my Christmases with my Norwegian family in the coastal city of Stavanger (same region where Erling Håland is from by the way).
As a result, the Scandinavian in me is very familiar with adding sweet sauce to our savoury meals. I’m particularly used to our lingonberry sauce.
Therefore, Subway’s cranberry sauce added a cosy touch to the sandwich which made me feel like home. I’d rate this sandwich a 7/10 (I really prefer my sandwiches spicy).
The Turkey & Stuffing Footlong Dipper
Now we’re entering unknown Subway territory. This is a tortilla wrap filled with turkey, stuffing and melted cheese.
If you’re looking for something that is somewhat festive and very simple, this tortilla is your guy. I do not have much to add as this was a basic item.
It was good, that’s all. 7/10 (again, I’d add a lot more spices and hot sauce).
Double Chocolate Orange Cookie
As a Swiss (yes I’m half Norwegian and first generation Swiss, but this is a long story for another day), this will sound controversial to many, but I do not like desserts with too much chocolate. I especially do not like all chocolate cookies.
My cookies typically need to have milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. So when I saw the dark batter of this dessert with its fruity smell, I was wary.
But this dessert probably came as the biggest surprise of this festive menu to me. Subway cookies are always good and gooey, so the texture didn’t disappoint.
Yet, its taste left me positively surprised. The chocolate didn’t feel too overpowering, the notes of orange were very subtle and brought the white chocolate chip’s flavour perfectly.
Rating this an 8/10 because I’d probably won’t order this again, I love my simple white chocolate chip cookies too much.
