Subs: to toast or not to toast

[JoeSchmoe]

If it's lunch meat based no toast.

If it's steak, meatball, grilled chicken, etc, toast.

[French Collection]

I generally have tuna and don’t like it toasted.

Meatball sub with lots of cheese, toast it.

Add the lettuce after it's toasted. Why would you want wilted lettuce? That makes as much sense as waiving 6K.

Use spinach, much, much more healthy 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

I don't believe in toasting anything anymore.  Lettuce is a nothing.  I'm with Bob on the spinach.

Cold filling = untoasted

Warm filling = toasted

[Doohicksie]

If you toast it, do so before the veggies go on.

Depends on the sub. If I get an Italian assorted, I usually toast it when I get home. Toasted roll with melted provolone over heated capicola, ham and salami makes it a little greasy. So good. Any other deli meat sub I eat cold. 

[Mustache of God]

This is a question that is entirely dependent upon what kind of sandwich you're eating, where it's being eaten and which season it is.

Any warm sandwich should be toasted, sans veggies that can't take the heat (specifically lettuce but if you've got some broccoli rabe on there then that lends itself well to a little char).

I disagree that cold deli meats should not be toasted, look no further than the humble club sandwich. 

Every holiday season I usually make a big batch of pickled eggplant for my family. Once it's had a week or so to cure I like to whip up a batch of eggplant cutlets and then throw together a sandwich of bread - cento pepper spread - eggplant cutlet - mozz or provolone - pickled eggplant - onion - tomato - lettuce - s/p - and maybe some mayo - other piece of bread.

It is by far my favorite vegetarian sandwich and you bet your ass that bread is toasted along with the eggplant cutlet and cheese.

No.
 

But Subway sucks regardless

[matter2003]

depends on the sub. There is no one size fits all answer.

Are you people angling for the White House? Take a stand!

If you're not toasting your turkey and cheese and veggie sub, you're not toasting your meatball sub.

I've been on a Subway kick after not going there for a long time. It feels like something changed for the better.

False paradigm.

JFC, man. That brand / those stores are garbajh.

There are reasons that Ireland (I think?) prohibited Subway from characterizing its standard sub roll as a form of "bread."

I feel like there’s little difference between the subs constructed currently, and how the subs would taste, if they instead were to just go to the “back”, and reach a big scoop into a big mixed barrel labelled “INGREDIENTS FOR SANDWICHES” before plastering it on the bread. 

i guess it comes down to my skills as a Sandwich Artist but, that’s my outlook

Any self respecting club sandwich has real cooked turkey (edit: or chicken) and not the lunch meat type. 🤤

Edit - I’m getting word there is now an Earl of Sandwich in winnipeg

I only eat sandwiches with no self-respect. It's a difference you can taste.

[North Buffalo]

Im gonna wishy washy this one... depends on my mood, time I have to make it, bread used... what is on it... crap just just depends.

[pastajoe]

Never toast the roll because it becomes too crunchy and falls apart, but if steak and cheese I have them heat them up and melt before putting it on an untoasted rool.
