Conquering the Curry Capital's Subway: A Guide for the Undecided
So you're in the land of spices and sunshine, and a craving for a familiar taste bud tango hits you. Fear not, for Subway, the land of piled-high sandwiches and questionable amounts of mayo, awaits! But before you dive headfirst into a footlong veggie delight (or is it chicken tikka?), here's a survival guide to navigating the Indian Subway experience, complete with chuckles, because hey, a little humor never hurt anyone's stomach (except maybe after too much Sriracha).
How To Order In Subway India |
Step 1: Embrace the Freshness
Subway in India boasts the same fresh-baked bread and crisp veggies you know and love. That said, you might encounter some local twists on the menu. Be bold! Try the Chicken Tikka Masala sub, or the paneer tikka for a vegetarian option. Just remember, with great freshness comes great responsibility...responsibility to decide between that extra helping of olives and the inevitable food coma.
Step 2: The Art of the "No, Thanks, I Got This"
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
The friendly Subway staff in India might be a little too enthusiastic about suggesting toppings. Don't be afraid to politely decline the umpteenth round of cheese or that mysterious green chutney you can't quite place. Remember, you are the Michelangelo of your sandwich creation, and that masterpiece deserves your full artistic control (or lack thereof, depending on your indecisiveness).
Step3: Spice Up Your Life (or Not)
India is known for its love of spice. But fear not, heat-averse friends! Subway offers a variety of chutneys and sauces to cater to all spice tolerances. From the classic mayo to the fiery peri peri, you can customize your heat level like a pro. Just avoid that "watch me down this entire bottle of ghost pepper sauce" move – your stomach will thank you later.
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
Bonus Tip: The Cookie Conundrum
Subway cookies in India deserve a standing ovation. They're ginormous, warm, and practically beg to be shoved into your bag. Just remember, one minute you're saying "I'll just have a small salad," the next you're staring down a double chocolate chip cookie the size of your head. Pace yourself, grasshopper.
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
