I will never forget when I went to get one for me gav and the kids one day a few years back and it came to about £30 (mind we got drinks too). Could have gone out for a proper meal for that much :laugh:

Yeah the price stupid for what you get and I don't think it has ever filled me up. Although I only got fleeced the first time I went because I didn't really know the menu. The rest of the times I'd get that £3 meal. But it's just I've never had a decent sandwich in all the 5 or 6 times I've visited in my life. It's always luke warm, squashed and utterly depressing to look at.

Just found out the the subway just up the road from the one I use is kosher only. Makes sense really as its in an area that is predominantly Jewish. Never been to that one so would never have known

Though I still think adding kosher options to the menu would be a better option than kosher only...

I notice the thing that Reece posted also mentions Jews... so on behalf of my own religion I want to say that it is one of our laws that we don't cause animals to suffer and Kosher slaughtering is as fast an painless as possible with more and more people using the stun method first. I can't pretend to know much about Halal slaughter... However... people inevitably complain about Kosher and Halal slaughtering while being perfectly happy to eat other more conventionally slaughtered meat without having any clear idea what atrocious places abattoirs are. How do you think non-Halal and Kosher meat is slaughtered? Do you think they sing them to sleep? What's more, all kinds of animals are abused and mistreated all over this country on a daily basis. I think their care and welfare would be a more suitable cause for concern.

so raise them healthily, prevent distress by not killing them in front of eachother etc

I guess if the franchisee has agreed with subway too remove an item from sale due to religious sensibilities then that's up to them.
They lose your business if they don't sell what you like.

So it would have to be prepared and stored completely separately. I think the reason they don't offer a choice is that the cost of doing so would be prohibitive. Personally, I'm not that strict that it would bother me.
